Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How terribly, terribly sad for them - discovering that those highly curated, impossibly perfect lives, built on the backs of modern slavery, might not be quite so comfortable after all. Ag shame.

It’s every evangelical’s nightmare.

Spent an entertaining evening listening to @benaaronovitch.bsky.social in conversation at @britishlibrary.bsky.social and I now also have a new writer to check out, @markstay.bsky.social, whose books I will be buying when Lent is over (I’m not a heathen).

Overweight, overpriced, overheated: if anyone out there is in the market for a 12-ton metaphor for Boris Johnson’s contribution to British national life, you’re in luck.

Times journalist writes article to defend Mahmood and her "earned settlement" (horrible name) reform, saying it's needed to mitigate the effects of the "Boriswave" (a term coined by the far right), but he's very vague about what does effects are apart from "people feel immigration has been too high"

This incoherent word salad is the best Mahmood's defenders can do. Apparently there are too many immigrants here so we need remigration, so we need to extend the period to settlement (??), but net migration may be negative and we may have too few migrants (??) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Beautiful! And one thing that’s important to share with people is the shape of the ladybird beetle larvae. Many people can confuse these lovely little larvae for pests in the garden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccine...

Yet another state-sponsored murder by our fun government. From complicity in genocide, to pulling vital medical aid funding support for other countries, to attempting to eliminate trans folks from living freely, to individual cases like this, our nation becomes ever more monstrous due the hour

The anti-trans side has spent years building up propaganda claiming this doesn't happen and I need you all to know they are lying.

Vets and their private equity owners get a light ride from UK regulator. Price lists won't stop exploitative practices Six companies control the market. PE has built local monopolies, must be broken-up, limits on what it can own, prices must be controlled controlled. archive.ph/AmNsr

I read the first part as “when shepherd’s pie on oaten straws” and thought it was some kind of fancy serving suggestion.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

This well-reported piece appears to have nonetheless missed what I suspect is the 'real' story behind these massive price rises: the UK veterinary sector has been targeted by US private equity firms in the past decade, and turned into yet another vehicle for extracting wealth from ordinary people.

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

Watching Man United women v Man City. 10s of thousands in the ground. Both are managed by cis men. There have been no headlines. No complaints. A trans woman manages Sutton Utd, a side most have never heard of and who play in front of fewer than 100, and that's taking opportunity from cis women

The athletes blocked from competing due to missing hormone level requirements at the Tokyo Olympics were all black cis athletes: Caster Semenya Christine Mboma Beatrice Maslingi Cece Telfer (The tests were targeted specifically at the events Semenya competes in. 🤷) Transphobic & racist. Always was.

A team of Kwik Fit fitters could not strip a car down as throughly as Andy Twelves dismantles Goodwin here. You could take off into space and nuke Goodwin from orbit and not devastate him as completely as Twelves does in this clip.

118,000 miles of hedgerows have disappeared across the UK since 1950. More were lost during the two world wars removed by compulsory order to provide land for the population to ‘dig for victory’. So this initiative is impressive.

Answer: they are not.
