Sentences never before uttered in human history

I bet he's sweating now.

Holy cow... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Very good, intelligent interview of Bill Browder by the Kyiv Independent.

Therapist stopped hitting on me long enough to tell me I’m a textbook narcissist.

Men resigning after the horrors revealed in the Epstein files is NOT justice.

Delicate flowers...

A communion wafer weighs approx 0.25g, and estimates for Jesus's weight range from 70-80kg. Taking an average estimate of 75kg, there are 300,000 wafers per Jesus.

Social media is a poisoned chalice...

Nice example of tripe fungus on yesterday's dog walk. Zonate and somewhat hirsute on top, gelatinous below. #fungifriends #fungi

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Yikes... I watched it in the cinema the day it came out!

FIFA Peace Prize organisers doing some soul searching this morning.

Facebook has become an absolute cesspit. What does it take to get offensive content taken down?

I just watched a sparrowhawk catch and eat a mouse in my vegetable garden. Handsome chap.

we go live to David Walliams’ front door

Really interesting story about the links between Russian shadow fleet ships and drone incursions.

On reading some of the more informed comment on the Sandie Peggie tribunal ruling it's starting to feel like the judge might have to face some very serious consequences. Gender ideology must be a hell of a drug for people to risk their careers. Head of NHS Fife gone, activist judge to follow?

Given the current US obsession with European freedom of speech, it's worth noting that the US is in 57th place in the World Press Freedom Index, two places behind Romania.

Found a lovely group of wrinkled peaches (Rhodotus palmatus) yesterday. Fairly rare these days as we've lost most of the elm trees they rely on for food. Not sure what the bracket fungus is just below... might have to get the books out. #fungi

"Women are 51% of the population but 60% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and own only 20% of the land All while giving birth to 100% of the population. In case you wondered why we still need feminism." Rick.

It's ridiculous. I think of religion like social media and smoking - inappropriate for under 18s.

Scary...

Happy 60th birthday, Björk!

Immigrants are an essential part of every sector of our economy, and this government’s ideological crusade will prove very expensive. It is demonstrably anti-growth and post Brexit we certainly don’t have the luxury to indulge this nonsense

Lots of people fascinated by the hints that Trump blew Clinton. Sure, it's salacious, but big deal. It's a *much* bigger story that Mark and Jeffrey Epstein were discussing if Putin had seen those particular pics, strongly suggesting there is lots of other Kompromat Putin definitely has seen.

Astonishing that people will still defend Khelif when his sex tests results are in the public domain...

Goodnight. 🖼️ Francisco Fonseca

We segregate some things by sex. Gender isn't sex. You want to segregate by gender, you're free to make your arguments. But the simple fact is most people won't agree with you.

Hey UK terven friends, will you email your MPs to ask for their support for women's rights? This link does almost all the work for you... sex-matters.org/take-action/...

How depressing. After years of rumours about new operators providing services from Stratford, Ebsfleet & Ashford, running faster double-decker trains to new destinations further afield, in fact we get smaller trains running the same old routes. And likely not for another five years or more.

Hard to know when someone is hitchhiking or just like really supportive

I, too, have done absolutely nothing wrong, so I'm going to make a large payment to someone I've never met and divest myself of all my titles and honours.

Lol

Happy birthday PJ Harvey!

Well in this President’s America, a mass shooter can own and use an assault rifle, but his victims don’t have a right to healthcare after being shot.

People can mute Singal. They can block him. They can set a filter so they never see his name in print. They can make lists of people who follow him and block every single person on the list. It's not enough. They demand the mods comply with their purity test.

In order to reign-in the damage caused by puberty blockers, the UK has relied on legislation. In the US by contrast perhaps litigation will be what brings down the house of cards. genspect.org/as-olson-ken...

This is how the UK media should report on migration...

Humans really need to break our addiction to meat. "Half of the earth’s habitable land is already devoted to agriculture, and most of that – about 80% – is grazing pasture and cropland for animal feed, making meat consumption a major driver of deforestation globally."

I have a bad feeling about this...

A parasol mushroom, Macrolepiota procera. Have found a few this last week, but hopefully we'll have a big flush soon... #fungi

It's the hope that kills you.

"Non-binary is the gender identity you end up claiming if you’re a feminist who’s made the category “woman” uninhabitable for any female human with an ounce of self-respect." Great stuff, well worth a read.
