RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

I do hope someone shoves this letter down his throat, with as much force necessary to make an impact. Each & every one of us, from birth to death is a gnat’s breath from needing disability help at any time. Clarkson is an arse.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

”The development of online sales platforms and social networks has considerably facilitated the sale of illegally removed cultural property. Technological advances, such as sonar and underwater robots, have also made it possible to speed up illegal excavations, making it easier for looters.”

100%. But if there’s an Infantino personal stake involved; from his POV it was worth a punt. He’ll probably end up throwing more money around.

UEFA and Concacaf combined equates to about 85% of all global football revenue. While Concacaf isn't boycotting, it's certainly preferring a relationship with UEFA over FIFA right now. I expect Conmebol to be right behind. Best case for Gianni is he shelves this deal and mends fences.

By @quinnglabicki.bsky.social The brine is spurting to the surface, and locals fear it could soon contaminate the drinking water source for 32,000 people. “It would destroy the city,” said Susan Vessels, president of the Marietta City Council. “Once the damage is done, it cannot be undone.”

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

As an outsider I see this & I think Bernie has a point; admittedly the Trump Admin has turbocharged corruption, but hasn’t it always been there no matter who’s in charge?; the same two tier legal system between the haves & have nots?Won’t the Dems yield to money, as long as party politics is bought?

The Republican Party has fully embraced fascism. The Democratic establishment — for all its faults — and there are many! — has not. They are not the same — and equating them in 2026 is stupid. It is time for the selfishness to end, Bernie. Retire.

Pornainen, Finland (pop 5,000) is now heated by a silo of crushed soapstone. I spoke to CNBC about it. 100 MWh, charged when power is cheap, emissions down ~70%. Days to weeks of storage, no critical minerals. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/25/f...
