It is true that decades of work can be undone in weeks. We saw that here in the UK with Brexit. I’m more optimistic here. There are still plenty of honest actors protecting valuable data, etc. Trump will only remain strong if his policies work. Tariffs are inflationary, people will feel worse off.

Google lens seems to think it’s Jack Delano a photographer. It’s possible there is definitely a resemblance.

Measles is one of the most infectious diseases around. With an RO of between 12 and 18 it spreads like wildfire the Texas outbreak can easily reach other states or even all the way round the world. It can be prevented by a simple, and very safe inoculation.

I don’t live in the US but I know you’ve done amazing work over there. I rather doubt any of those making ignorant comments would do so if you were giving them life saving surgery. So ignore them they’re hypocrites who don’t deserve your attention.

Your achievements speak for themselves Arghavan! You’re worth more than the whole load of them added up!

I worry about everyone anyway but I agree with the comment about them both being adults.

It’s the best. Witty and sometimes hilarious, but also really penetrating. Thoroughly recommended

It’s no surprise. I was shocked 50+ years ago when I visited a Danish bacon factory. Humane slaughterhouses don’t exist. It’s what ultimately led me to become a vegetarian. Meat eaters need to visit and open their minds to what meat eating really is.

My question would be is it okay to do this to a human being? If the answer is no then it’s not okay to do it a whale. Whaling is wrong wherever it occurs and I fully understand Dominic Dyer.

Stop Whaling
Whaling is cruel and unnecessary and must stop. Every year, Japan, Norway and Iceland kill around 1,500 whales between them.

Unfortunately it is so widely acknowledged that FIFA are utterly corrupt that they are no longer a credible Governing Body. Disbanding is the way forward.

Great maybe drop X. Such a toxic space. This is far better.

It a political game. Unsurprising. Nothing to do with critical thinking. Whoever started this knows it won’t happen.

X will survive as long as large media organisations keep posting to it and sharing their posts. All the shared tweets you get on news sites register views every time someone loads a third party site. This makes X look more viewed than it is in actuality.
