THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

You can't polish a floating turd, but you can cover it in beads
Yesterday, Southern Water admitted to losing millions of plastic beads after initially denying it.

Helena Dollimore MP now calls for them to clean up the coastline; disclose contents of the beads; fund nature restoration; and investigate how the spill happened.

Eleven of the parties in the provincial parliament of Limburg have now requested the Limburg government to look into the possibility of creating a (temporary) memorial for our Black American liberators in cooperation with Eijsden-Margraten (where the cemetery is located).

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

And this is why Target don't have any UK stores. Imagine the horror.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Ignoring the Pravda-esque worship, can someone comment on the "boosted active-duty numbers by 15% in a year"? I have a strong suspicion that national guard are not active until activated, so he's painting sending NG troops into US cities to pick up litter and scare locals as a win for recruitment
Here's a sample piece of "journalism" from one of the "news" outlets that signed the DoD rules. Welcome to the new press corps.

"It's not nazi if you keep one foot on the floor"
this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

I think that
@BBCNews
,
@SkyNews

@ITVNewsPolitics
and
@Channel4News
should all be reporting on Reform UK and Russian bribery.

RT if you agree!!

Why are the media ignoring such a blatant story?!

Astonishing thing I read on LinkedIn this morning by someone being harassed about a deathknock after a family tragedy.

Said the Lancs Post journalist Matthew Calderbank told this grieving person he 'had' to write a story and 'had' to do it today, under orders of his boss Vanessa Sims.

Shameful.
