Like to cook and garden. Spent some time on our narrow boat. I quite enjoy being at home pottering. 🏡

A small reminder, especially if you struggle with low mood in the winter, that this is just 8 or 9 weeks away, fewer in some cases 👇🏼🌱🌱

I am glad to see this in the UK while the Trump administration in the US continues to kill wind every projects.
Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

Imagine you're a tourist from another country. You've purchased tickets, travel arrangements, reservations, etc., well in advance, only to find out that, at the insistence of Trump, FIFA moved the game you're attending to the other side of the country.
Seriously, don't come to this World Cup.

Hundreds of English-language websites link to pro-Kremlin propaganda
Thinktank says internet flooded with disinformation by Russia-aligned Pravda network, which many websites treat as credible
Hundreds of English-language websites – from mainstream news outlets to fringe blogs – are linking to articles from a pro-Kremlin network flooding the internet with disinformation, according to a study released by a London-based thinktank.
The study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) found that in more than 80% of citations it analysed, the websites treated the network as a credible source, legitimising its narratives and increasing its visibility. The disinformation operation – known as the Pravda network – was identified by the French government last year. Continue reading...

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Exactly. UK pensioners are paid a substistance level amount to keep them ticking over and no more. Imprisoned within four walls because they can't afford to go out and spend to enjoy themselves in their remaining years. This is their reward for a lifetime of hard work and paying taxes.
The obvious question is why aren't state pensions big enough to cover winter fuel bills in the first place, making winter fuel payments entirely unnecessary

Great new paper on the evolution of birds - showing how changes in forelimbs (becoming wings) and legs were linked together. I LOVE research like this which reveals the secrets of how evolution works - how development, genetics, form are all joined up: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Macroevolutionary integration underlies limb modularity in the origin of avian flight | Biology Letters
The origin of flight in avian dinosaurs has been historically an ideal framework for
