A guy went out to see what his dog was up to and discovered it happily playing with a capybara. Original post

A few of you asked about the copper alloy fox in my latest find-the-tiny-owl photo.It’s a Tudor mount that would have decorated leather,eg a bridle. I collect ancient accessories & haberdashery-nerdy as hell 👀,but here are some medieval,Tudor, 18th-19th C buttons/clasps & a Greek coin with a 🐦 on it

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.

My unvaccinated aunt took no precautions because of Trump’s misinformation and became very sick with COVID and then Pneumonia in early-2021. She was placed on a ventilator as soon as one became available. She died several weeks later and another person on the long waiting list took her ventilator.

Opinion: America’s wildlife refuges may no longer protect the animals

A proposed government expansion threatens to transform protected sanctuaries into arenas for blood sport.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Release the Files

Katie Phang vows to release the Epstein files if her lawsuit is successful: "The law was to benefit everyone -- especially the victims and survivors of Epstein, Maxwell and others, who continue to get the stiff arm, short thrift asshole treatment by Todd Blanche."

BBC News reporting on concerns about food security and water security We can all see the food and water crisis unfolding, why isn't our government doing everything possible to protect these two precious resources, our food and water supply?

Most people dont trust anything out of the US. Too many lies have been told. Intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement haven't protected their own people and instead have protected a criminal enterprise. Disgraceful and traitorous.

“Judges simply don’t believe the representations that are being made by United States attorneys, assistant United States attorneys and the like,” a former federal judge said. “I don’t think ... in the history of jurisprudence in the United States, we’ve ever seen anything close to this.”

The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 4d ago

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

Good Morning Husky….

Farage has just released a video begging Reform supporters to come to Clacton to help him win his unnecessary by-election. All going well in the Battle with the Bin then.

Federal officials say a hacking campaign targeting water systems in at least seven states likely originated in Iran. The so-called president’s response: “I think Minnesota is behind it. I don’t think there was an Iranian cyberattack.” Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Little Stormzy came back to visit today to say thats for help in his early days. He is absolutely huge and it is probably the happiest I've ever been to see a dog!! Look at him go!

It's amazing how many times he told this lie. But the accordion hands were the tell all along.

Trump on "the reflecting pond" -- "We did a beautiful job. It's like a piece of glass. And for some reason this disturbed the radical left lunatics."

Today university fees rise again, while thousands of academics across the country face job cuts, crushing workloads and shattered morale. Students deserve better than this broken system of unfair repayment that widens inequality. Abolish fees and fund universities properly!

Hard not to sing this to the tune "Say Hello , Wave Goodbye"

Sitting on the terrace of the Dôme, drinking Pernods and talking about sanity with enormous hollows under my eyes.

It's this remarkably shallow and self centred consumer driven view of creativity. If I'm consuming a piece of art it's because I want the perspective of what the artist had to say, not because I want something tailored to me.

On this day in 1980, these legends met in London: Chrissie Hynde, Pauline Black, Debbie Harry, Poly Styrene, Viv Albertine and Siouxsie Sioux. 📸Chris Stein

A reminder that Dr. Anthony Fauci is the recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom before it was trashed up by MAGA, the National Medal of Science and many honorary degrees. He has over 5 decades of public service and has advised 7 Presidents. The orange felon has 34 felonies.
