To all accounts with a profile picture of a pretty woman with big boobs, who are following 4,000 people but have zero posts, you can follow me if you like but I'm not going to be following you back or chatting with you in DMs. If you have something interesting to say, post it for everyone to see.

The #PatrioticMillionaires want to be taxed. They want to live in a fairer society. Philanthropy is all very nice, but it is also a form of control. Taxation is better for wealth distribution.

Susan Davy, the CEO of South West Water, is paid a salary of £860,000 a year to oversee this disgusting shambles. She should be sacked, and made to pay the money back. #devon #exmouth #pollution westcountryvoices.co.uk/could-groups...
Could group's ‘groundbreaking’ legal claim against South West Water turn the tide against sewage pollution?
“We watched as the beaches emptied, and the car parks emptied, and there was a sense of ‘this cannot keep happening’.” It was the worst possible time for yet another serious sewage pollution incident ...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Let's be perfectly clear here. Based on what we've seen today, if Donald Trump had been in charge in 1776, America would still be a British colony. He's a traitor to the basic principal upon which America was founded.

It is my opinion that one can learn everything relevant about Donald Trump, and about the current state of the USA in general, from the phrase "grab them by the pussy." The fact that uttering this did not immediately disqualify him from the Presidency is absolutely terrifying.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

If it can isolate, it can also unite.

I am an American. I wake up each morning to a country I barely recognize, gripped by a fear that no longer fades with the dawn. The streets aren’t filled with tanks, yet we are under siege. The attack...

Now that federal science agencies are in disarray, and our media ecosystems and social media platforms mostly peddle hate and disinformation, what are the best, most trusted sources of accurate information today?
Bluesky, Wikipedia, NPR, PBS, ...?
But what about more specific areas?
