Vou compartilhar pq eu acho que a gente tem que espalhar essa merda e não deixar o mundo ignorar o fato de que eles são muito racistas e perigosos.

— Parece que você está dizendo que a vida de um judeu vale a de centenas ou milhares de palestinos — Não, milhões. Uma vida judia vale dez milhões — Isso soa racista — Eu sei, mas é a verdade. Deus nos escolheu por causa disso. Vocês são invejosos

GRAFFITI on the NATIONAL MONUMENT on Calton Hill. We think it was done between late on 15 July and early on 18 July. Not political. Crudely obscene, but mostly just a mess. We have reported it to the @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social graffiti team. We would like CCTV installed to protect the site.

We spoke to people in Andy Burnham's constituency. One woman who voted for Brexit told us she regretted her vote. Watch what else she had to say 👀

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Excellent photo that shows the problem with Holyrood Park. It's the gorse, not the grass, that burns. Not enough resources to properly deal with the gorse. So this will happen again and again with all the attendant costs and implications for wildlife and human health.

The hill(s) I will die on. Arthur's Seat & Salisbury Crags are separate hills. Separate geologically, topographically and on Ordnance Survey maps. Yesterday's fire was on the slopes of Salisbury Crags. Many news sources, the fire service & even Historic Environment Scotland have got this wrong!

The rare PURPLE MILK-VETCH (astragalus danicus) flowering plant has been rediscovered on Calton Hill. In 2006 this nationally endangered flower was listed as the outstanding notable species for the hill. The photograph is by Ben Averis, taken in Fife in 2021.

Perhaps this is the most important news that people aren't aware of yet?
