The last 45+ years of national politics would IMO be much easier to understand if Britain had been conquered by a malicious empire intent on looting the public realm and squeezing the public for tribute, while demanding total loyalty and occasionally soldiers to help fight its endless wars.

#Gardeningfeed 🌱 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #Photography Good morning, BlueSky Friends! Sorry for the throwback pics; the weather’s awful, so I haven’t captured new photos. Here’s a garden dahlia from last year, taken with a Canon EOS R50 while wandering my neighbourhood

Every day for as long as I can recall, it has been a great Nordstream pipeline industrially blasting raw sewage into homes and workplaces across the land

One of the more distinctive bugs I've ever spotted (in an office carpark near the railway station in Blackburn of all places). A Golden-bloomed Grey Longhorn beetle (Agapanthia villosoviridescens) 🌱🪲 #InsectThursday #BugSky #Nature #UKWildlife

This is clearly depressing and radicalising in a way a tax wouldn't have been.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

#OtD 15 Jan 1929 civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Before his assassination he had become increasingly radical, criticising militarism, war, poverty and capitalism as well as racism

Not for being an unhinged racist, then

I know only the basics about ferns. Eventually I will change this, but right now I admire them and am willing to let the iNat system take a guess. Possibly brittle bladderfern (Cystopteris fragilis) growing out of a large boulder in a forest above Crested Butte last summer.

The Government have u-turned on ID Cards. Good. Authoritarian plans to scrap jury trials need to go next.

Grit bins left empty in Burnley, Padiham and Brierfield, due to a Reform council policy change, is ‘gambling with the safety of residents’ | North West Bylines

Interesting! I've never heard of this before, I wonder if it would work as an emergency treatment for blossom end rot on tomatoes etc 🌱

An update on my jewel orchid 🌿 A month ago it suddenly stalled, with droopy leaves and no new growth. Turns out the stem had gone soft and wrinkly. I cut off the healthiest part I could and moved it straight to water. Really hoping it pulls through 🤞🏻 #houseplants #macodespetola #plantsky

The rogue lithops flower finally opened. It should NOT be coming out of the side like this, but at least it will be interesting to see how the plant responds as it begins shedding its old leaves. 😬🤞🌱 #succulent #lithops #plantsky

#RoseWednesday What a beautiful gift from the former homeowner! Most likely Aachener Dom rose with its large salmon-pink blooms with silvery highlights, and sweet fruity fragrance,vigorous upright shrub that blooms from summer to fall. #mygarden #RosesofBlueSky #bloomscrolling #flowersofbluesky

"Congratulations, we are cutting migration. But we have persistently high NHS waiting lists, a shortage of social care, collapsing universities, missed housebuilding targets, lower economic growth and higher taxes." My new column for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/opinion/fall...

This looks to me like a special “If a Libyan militiaman you’ve been allowing and maybe helping to travel back and forth to a warzone then blows up a lot of children at a concert in Manchester, a two-line excuse will prevent any further official scrutiny of your actions” exemption.

The u-turn on mandatory digital ID was incredibly predictable. I v much doubt scrapping jury trials will survive either. Less positively prob not votes at 16 either. If the far right oppose something, Starmer wont do it. Farage is already the Prime Minister rly #r4today
