Owned by a cat. Refugee from the hell place. ME/CFS for 34 years and counting. "Anti-recovery activist" ( some chance!) Boring.
"When the Islamic State ruined much of the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014, it set about eliminating all traces of its past." I agree. And they have that in common with both Russia in Ukraine and Israel in Gaza.
Ukrainian cathedrals, Gaza’s archives, Iranian squares – modern war is systematically erasing human history | Simon Jenkins
It is not enough now for war to kill, it must eradicate a people’s cherished and precious heritage too, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

It’s so perfect that the first thing Farage does is lie, and it’s about the very thing he claims he took the money for: security. Money well spent , Nigel. Another farrago.
Nigel Farage will not attend the declaration in Clacton (citing security). Reported to be first MP to miss a declaration for 45 years - since the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands in 1981. Farage avoids being pictured with Count Binface - who was pictured at the count with 3 PMs + one soon to be PM

This might take longer to get resolved than the Iran War.
Harry Enten: “Democrats may put up a historic showing in southern Senate races this year and their majority may run through the south. Ossoff (GA) and Cooper (NC) are clearly ahead. Talarico is +2... If all that were right on, Dems would win more southern Senate races than any midterm in the 2000s!”
BREAKING: The DOJ asks for a sealed hearing to discuss things. JUDGE: You raise an interesting point. I thought about brining DOJ in in sealed proceedings, but the public has a right to know what the hell is going on with this case. The victims deserve to know. The public deserves to know.
It would be great if could incorporate HEPA filters to provide #CleanAir to reduce risks from airborne infections alongside cooler air- both essential for now & ‘future proofing’ @rcn.org.uk @bma.org.uk
The BBC have referred to Farage as an MP since he announced his intention to hold a by election in Clacton and Reeves appointed him as Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead on Wednesday, 8 July. He hasn't been an MP since then. Complaints have got this poor stock response. #ToriesGone769
3/ The new Environment Secretary, @angelaeagle1.bsky.social, must seize this moment to boost staffing & funding for climate adaptation. And the new PM @andyburnham.bsky.social must set out a radical plan to get us off fossil fuels & prepare communities for extreme weather. My comment to Guardian:
![My comment in the Guardian today:
“England is desperately unprepared for the impacts of the climate crisis, and these shocking figures show how few officials are working on the problem at the top of government,” said environmental writer and campaigner Guy Shrubsole, who obtained the data.

"Shrubsole called on the new environment secretary, Angela Eagle, to seize the moment amid heatwaves and wildfires to greatly boost staffing and funds for climate adaptation.
“Andy Burnham has seen the effects of climate change in Makerfield, which flooded in past winters, and as Manchester mayor when wildfire smoke from Peak District grouse moors choked local residents,” he said. “It’s time he levelled with the country about the climate emergency and set out a radical plan to get us off fossil fuels and prepare communities for extreme weather.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:br3kmdgzf5pnbfdnd57jfo6g/bafkreibkszooqtdgt7tmvl22omsamyzysc6arx4t3k5qvi3pwq3k4fwsoq)
Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card. (Published Dec. 2025)
After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death
“Brutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

Climate scientist Kevin Anderson: “On average, this will be the least extreme weather I, you or anyone else will ever live through. It’s going to get worse.” #Heatwave #ClimateCrisis #r4today
Pancreatic cancer is so tough. But in an early trial, 7 of 8 patients (87.5%) who responded to a personalized mRNA vaccine + immunotherapy are still alive 6 years after surgery. It's designed to train the immune system to fight remaining cells. Promising, and worth attention.
After 22 years in the Army, I’ve seen how common-sense policies can prevent gun violence and save lives. With firearms now the leading cause of death for American children, finding solutions has never been more urgent. #TeamWellman #Missouri #StLouis #Election2026 @fpwellman.bsky.social
