An interesting and disturbing report on @channel4news.bsky.social about unsolved crime in Israel in Arab communities. The conclusion being that the police -part of the state- are quite happy to allow crimes to take place because Arabs killing Arabs is of no consequence.

This arrived this evening. I'll be honest, it was only a few years back that I discovered that Britain even has rainforest, pockets of Temperate rainforest.
"Temperate rainforest is actually rarer than the tropical variety: it covers just 1 per cent of the world's surface."

I've only just managed to watch the final of Celebrity Traitors! What a great show! Alan Carr amazed me and played an outstanding game as did Cat Burns. @davidolusoga.bsky.social came across as a genuinely decent, thoughtful fella. All in all , great entertainment and £87,500 for charity 😀

Row over definition of ‘gender’ hangs over Cop30 plans to support women
Advocates say conservative states’ push to define gender as ‘biological sex’ would backslide on decade-old language within the UN
