Imagine being trapped in a windowless shed with thousands of bodies pressing against you. The air is burning your throat. The heat is crushing. The noise is constant panic.

There’s no space to move. No space to rest. No space to breathe.

For chickens, this isn’t a moment. It’s their *entire life*.

Great news for Hungary. Let's hope this drastically improves the lives of Hungarian LGBTQ+ folks who've been seriously under the boot of Orbán. 🌈

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Voracious Honey Bees Threaten the Food Supply of Native Pollinators – Journal Highlight - Royal Entomological Society Researchers raise concern of native species being outcompeted by non-native honey bees, which were found to extract nearly 80 percent of available pollen in a day at a key hotspot of bee biodiversity.  Paper first…

Honey industry did a very successful, & very damaging, marketing campaign telling everyone to eat honey to save the bees. So now most people think of honey as an environmentally beneficial product, when it's actually one of the drivers of wild pollinator collapse.

I’m not particularly a fan of his music but holy shit, Springsteen has stepped up. That is a powerful opening (and a song I actually *do* like).

‘It’s mind-boggling’: the hidden cost of our obsession with fish oil pills The market in this prized commodity is worth billions – but are the supposed benefits worth the cost to global ecosystems?

Very soon I doubt there will be any life left in the ocean, nor seabirds in the sky or on ice, not a seal to be found on the beaches, and the white bears will be merely ghosts.

Also fun to note: “We may have stolen people’s work to create Copilot, but if you use Copilot, the blame for stealing other people’s stuff lies squarely on you, not us”

Will Google’s AI hype man kill the BBC? Matt Brittin spent two decades at Google, a tech company helping to destroy journalism. His appointment as leader of Britain’s biggest news organisation represents an existential threat, writes Carole...

NEW: Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC?

I've written about Matt Brittin because the coverage of his time at Google is shockingly naive.

The BBC's next DG is a corporate yes man at a rapacious AI monopoly that preys on journalism in order to destroy it.

School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship A school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

This is utterly jaw-dropping.

A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils.

On Mother's Day, spare a thought for the other animals whose capacity to be mothers is used by the industries that profit from them, to violate their bodies, their rights, and the sacred bond that exists between all mother and their children. Be vegan.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

A single mature tree can be 50, 80, even 100 years old—quietly building a world for birds, insects, fungi, and mammals.
In minutes, modern machines erase decades of growth.
What took nature a lifetime to create, we destroy in a heartbeat. 🌳💔

They need to ditch this single pixel offside bullshit next season. How are players meant to judge if they’re onside or not? Get back to the spirit of the rule - to stop goal hanging, not to take all the joy out of the game.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Pretty uncomfortable w the implication in some of the chat today that British Muslims’ concerns are somehow less electorally valid than those of people from other backgrounds. Quite a lot of reductive implications that gaining the support of Muslim voters is somehow dishonest or gaming the system.
