🐟️ The bream are back! Their lunar-pad nesting sites have been spotted by divers in vast numbers on the Sussex seabed - a great indication that nature is bouncing back thanks to the @sussexifca ban on bottom-trawling in our nearshore waters. Visit our blog to read more. 📹️ @drraymarine

Max Miller stood with President Trump in his darkest hours after J6 and Bennie Moreno knew what it would take to come out against Max Miller. Sometimes, it is not a conspiracy, it is just Trump time in the Republican Party.

Even as smoke was rising on one side of the meadow, people were lighting a barbecue on the other. Who would oppose a new law - £500 fine for going equipped to barbeque, £1,000 for lighting it, full indemnity for the cost of putting out a resulting fire and restoring the land?

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Weather Report: oppressive heat. A roiling of clouds, a promise or tease? In town, a smattering of fat drops. People stop: hands out, exclaiming, cheering, faces to the heavens & each other in what looks like a mass epiphany. In the fields the horses gallop & buck. Emotional Weather: expectant

Would you like to read an eminent scholar contrasting the film to Homer's tale? What about a hilarious acerbic rant about Nolan like he's little more than Michael Bay in an ascot? How about both of them woven together? 😂 A fun read regardless of whether you agree with Emily Wilson.

This review is like being Chotiner’d: “Unlike some of Nolan’s other films, The Odysseyis not boring, thanks to the source material, which is impossible to mess up entirely.” First paragraph, I’m dying www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

‘We were shovel-ready’: A Minnesota forest hit by DOGE cuts is now ablaze

Officials said losing out on the ability to do vital prevention work at a perilous time for the region hindered them from being as prepared as they could have been.

I am not eligible for this study because i got the AstraZeneca covid vaccine, along with probably a significant proportion of Oxford, so if you didn’t get that particular jab and you’re local and willing to help save lives, please follow the link!
