An active volcano in Iceland.

10 000 people have died as a result of the heatwaves in the last weeks in Europe. Wildfires, droughts, unbearable living conditions in homes that are not adapted to this climate: The climate crisis is a social crisis. We must act now. @vulatsetsi.bsky.social from the @movimientosumar.es congress.

Many of the groups Amnesty wrote about are discussed in our episode and I’m grateful to the lawyers who helped make that possible youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Why Do We Have A Meeting With HR?

“On the plus-side, the tax breaks here are great” From the latest Private Eye, out now.

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.

As wildfires rage, Andy Burnham still won't rule out airport expansion. He still hasn't commited to ending new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The incoming Prime Minister can't say the climate crisis is an emergency whilst backing policies that make it worse.

If this scoop turns out to be true, can we please stop with the ‘Burnham will bring change’ ‘Burnham is the answer’ ‘Burnham will move left once he is leader’ Labour Together gave him his opportunity (after many failed attempts). He is their man and is not going to change anything

It's also available here. Please share and spread this report. Trans folks in the UK can't for fear of lawsuits by gender critical groups. drive.google.com/file/d/1UggI...

Amnesty is a globally respected human rights charity that once won a Nobel Peace Prize and campaigns against, among other things, torture, the death penalty and unfair trials, yet on exposing the GC movement’s anti-rights approach to trans people, suddenly they’re making it up and not to be trusted.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

If a race in a fantasy setting was going to invent guns It would be the dwarves They by far, have the most reason to research explosives, and would very much require a ranged weapon less reliant on arm length

Poppy is finally getting the attention she deserves.

The very fact UK the anti-rights organisations are threatening to sue Amnesty International for stating facts is evidence that they truly are anti-rights. No decent organisation would sue Amnesty International. They are a highly credited and credible human rights group.

Look closely. Do you see it? This is not the same man.

The thing is in the UK, it's protected belief to think that gay marriage is a sin or conversion therapy is the best way to a happy heterosexual life for filthy sodomites. It's dangerous to point out these organisations and say "they're clearly hurting people".

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

In positive news, was just reading about an island in Chile that installed open water solar panels and a bunch of tuna and salmon moved in underneath them because the vibrations of diesel energy had ceased. :) The world could be so good if people were just smarter everywhere.

And I will say everything they hate and more, and party like hell.

When it's mapped out like that it makes for very interesting reading. Fab place if you are a wealthy entrepreneur, not so great for everyone else, the majority.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Remember, the transphobic EHRC code is being implemented by this government by CHOICE, not because it HAS to. Labour is CHOOSING to implement transphobic segregation.

Housing is in short supply & unaffordable mainly due to financialisation, absence of strong rent controls, the death-grip of 6 volume housebuilders on the sector, and their landbanking and other strategies designed to restrict supply. Plenty of analysis showing planning is seldom the blockage.

This is a brilliant essay, which, in my view, accurately describes the predicament of the post-Boomer generations, and the vast infrastructure of lies designed to disguise it. "Degeneracy is a symptom. The disease is rent." 🧵 henryfudgeofficial.substack.com/p/degeneracy...

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Let's hope all of this is investigated by the NCA when they dig into Reform's (Farage's) finances. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

😂😂😂🐧

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.
