I don’t condone the Iranian regime which recently condemned a brave woman to 74 lashes. Barbaric. But the US regime has done everything possible to humiliate the country’s attempt to participate in more open social engagement. #FIFAWorldCup2026

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

The people who do this - let’s put *tradition* and *economic necessity* aside - should struggle to explain the gusto with which they treat killing.

Frozen bottle of water before a ventilator column. Quite effective. Worth the effort. #Heatwave #canicule

The Wrap-around Spider, indigenous to Australia, this spider can flatten and wrap its body around tree limbs as camouflage .

They mean nothing to them 👺 Only a way to make profit. Like inanimate objects. Thrown on the floor. Animal Exploitation is vile and unjustifiable. #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan stop contributing to abuse 🙏

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

@mayor.nyc.gov Hope you’ve got time to tune in to @trentbridge.co.uk #ENGNZ. 🏏

Just damped down Misti with a glove. Outside 40°+. She insists on goo going out but for that’s her lot. She can sulk indoors! ICYI Car in the sun 50°C. 🥵

#insects Found in refrigerator in local shop. I managed to free it. They do give a little nip! Perhaps it was ‘Thank you’ nip.

13 seconds 💔 Final moments before slaughter 💔 They are going to murder this poor friend 😥 No place to run to. No chance for mercy. No compassion here. Slaughtering animals is unjustifiable. Slaughter is legalized crime. #StopTheSlaughter #StopYourKillings #LiveVegan 🌱🙏✌️

Scatting heartily to DonnaLee plus doing little modest dance steps around my study! 😬 #jazzsky

Goosebumps all over ‘DonnaLee’ by WDR Big Band. Tenor soloist is on fire… #Jazzsky #Bird music.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tlw...

Ran across references to this book many times as my interests in natural #philsci developed. Only ever read Duhem’s two key texts in original French. Saving appearances.

Indeed. I've seen countless examples of EU generosity to counter the negativity here. MEP Terry Reintke and the great Guy Verhofstadt spoke at the Rejoin gathering yesterday (sadly, I left after Neil Kinnock's speech). If anyone has film of what they said, please post.

Sex pest.

Well played #NewZealand. You could have easily won at #Lord’s had Henry been fully fit. Conceivably you could be 2:0 up with 1 to go. #ENGNZ A fragile England side were fairly predictably shattered. #cricket

She was whipped by men whose religion, which was created by other men, doesn't think men have the self-control not to be tempted to assault her if they simply see her hair. Seems that the wrong people are being whipped.

New arrivals in the concentration death camp👺New victims living in horrible conditions for one reason: to be needlessly killed for unnecessary human food. To be sent into the gas chambers and slaughtered. What we do to our animal friends is unforgivable #StopTheTorture #StopYourKillings #LiveVegan 🌱

Misti in the garage having been ‘summoned’ (captured!).😽 It’s 39°C. She has her hiding places in various barns and eternally damp outhouses 😎

Events I enjoyed but missed with the camera. Pipa just hopped into an empty cooler bag then exploded out in pursuit of only she knows what! Warmed my heart.

Fishermen are murdering sea robbers 🏴‍☠️ 👺#Fishing = #Murder #Fishing = #Ecocide => #MassExtinction #GoVegan or please #GoExtinct ✌️

Millions of salmon died in Scottish farms while regulators barely looked. Behind every “responsible” label is a system built to hide mass death, protect reputations and keep selling someone’s body as food.

After last night's Russian attack on Kharkiv, this little fella was saved from the rubble. His wing is broken, but he is receiving care now.

My word Duckett and Brook need runs even in a losing cause. #ENGNZ #TheOval

Cicely Popplewell British software engineer who worked with Alan Turing on Manchester Mark 1 computer, they designed the programming language for Ferranti Mark 1 together. Joined Women's Eng Soc 1943 while a technical assistant at Rolls Royce d. #OTD 20 June 1995 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicely_...

How this splendid woman keeps a sweet straight face I don't know. All the more hilarious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTpp...

On this day in 1921, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 3 Aug 1941 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her parents and two sisters and on the 20 Aug 1942 to the Riga Ghetto. They perished in the Shoah. Her name was Eva Buchsbaumová

Did he sling a used pair of his nappies in there?

God what an appalling, deadly, desperate mess Trump has made. Of all he casts eyes on. It is almost unimaginable. Unthinkable.

Current view.

Animal FHarmers have no respect for animals 👺They have fun while raping and abusing them. When are you going to stop supporting these atrocities? Stop. Using. And. Killing. Animals. #LiveVegan do the right thing 🙏

#TMS Talk about best grounds for refreshments. Aggers reflecting on the indignity of David Gower being offered brown or light ale at Grace Road! Maybe that’s why he came down to Hampshire. 😎 #EngNZ #TheOval 🏏

My last vegan curry was a disaster so I’m back on baked beans on toast with vegan ‘ham’ slices (made from beans and chickpeas).

Simply nowhere near enough effort to minimise/eradicate misery. Especially true of politics/politicians. Power requires misery, human and non-human.
