The Daily Mail poll about whether the UK should re-join the European Union did not go according to plan.

Simply stunning

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope.

Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

A map showing the migration of Cuckoo Arthur from the UK to Africa and back again is shown, with his current location in Suffolk. A headshot of Cuckoo Arthur features, alongside the wording: He’s made it to the UK! After arriving in Spain, Arthur headed across the Bay of Biscay and into France. Then he powered on, eventually crossed London overnight, and headed straight for Suffolk.

Where are the BTO Cuckoos? 🌍 One has touched down in the UK, another arrived but returned to France and the rest of our tagged birds are on their way!

Just a reminder to Congress:

Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR.

If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

This is so well done. 👌

Recent reporting shows unusually well-timed, high-value bets on military events, sometimes placed just hours before announcements. Recent reporting underscores why oversight of these markets matters, and members of Congress are taking notice.

Freudian?

Helping these charismatic birds is easy to do. The article explains a number of ways. Well worth the read.

UK looks to relax planning rules for factory farms after industry lobbying Exclusive: documents chronicle years-long campaign to make it easier to build intensive livestock units

Just what we don't need. Already, our rivers are overloaded with both human and livestock waste, leading in many cases to #rivercide. Now the government, responding as always to lobbyists, wants to make it worse. Then it wonders why it loses public support. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

No surprise there then!

Say hello to the UK’s most successful growth industry: organised waste crime | George Monbiot Thanks to a sustained ideological assault on regulation, our country has been turned into a literal dump, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions.
My column.

Burn. Eat. Repeat. Herbiⓥore published a post on Ko-fi

We don’t need better ways to exploit animals. We need justice. We need liberation. And we need it now, before the fires burn everything we cherish beyond recognition.

A map shows the migration of tagged Cuckoo Ashok from the UK to Africa and now back again, with the location pin showing him as in Spain. A headshot of Cuckoo Ashok features alongside the wording: First to arrive in Europe and the earliest ever date that one of our satellite-tagged birds has done so!

A new record Sahara crossing 🪶 Ashok is not only the first of our tagged Cuckoos to reach Europe this year but his arrival is also the earliest ever date that one of our satellite-tagged birds has done so! He crossed the Sahara, reached Algeria, then crossed the Med & arrived in Spain on 25 March!

Humans are literally begging for the next and far deadlier pandemic and are destroying any hopes of mitigating that disaster. As long as animal agriculture exists, it’s not a matter of if, but when it will happen.
Stop being part of the problem and instead be part of the solution #GoVegan #LiveVegan

This is so incredibly cool!

This Isn’t Conflict. It’s Displacement Herbiⓥore published a post on Ko-fi

Animal populations aren’t failing. The conditions they depend on are being removed. When they move to survive, they’re labelled a problem and eliminated.

Yes a ban is long overdue.

Also checkout the Van Tulleken brothers radio programme on BBC Sounds called Planet Chicken. Very informative.

Wonderful news. Fingers crossed for a successful breeding season!

I’ve missed you Maggie.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

Outdoor staircase designed as a stack of oversized book spines at the University of Balamand in Lebanon, each step painted to resemble classic literary works including The Republic by Plato, The Divine Comedy by Dante, The Prince by Machiavelli, Faust by Goethe, and Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. The colorful stairway is set in a landscaped garden with greenery and flowers on both sides, creating the illusion of walking up a tower of world literature.

Walking up these stairs is literally a step toward higher education.

DID YOU KNOW? Most people don't realize religion doesn't just teach you what to believe - it conditions how you respond to doubt. If you were trained to feel guilt the moment you ask a forbidden question, that's not faith - it's behavioral programming. The reflex to shut down inquiry isn't natural. It was installed.

Religion conditions your response like Pavlov’s dog 🐶
