Why the “We evolved to eat meat” argument doesn’t hold up.

From MIT Press Reader: "The evolutionary story behind meat consumption is more complicated — and less convincing — than it sounds."

Now we know why they want to scrap #netzero targets in #northampton
🤔 It's a real mystery why Richard Tice and Reform are going so big on the whole climate science denial thing...

💰 Oh wait, no it's not! They're in the pockets of big oil and gas companies!

🙉 Their denial of reality is straight out of the Donald Trump playbook.

🤬 Thames Water has paid nearly £2.5m in bonuses to senior managers from an emergency loan that was supposed to be used to help keep the failing company afloat.

💸 No more evidence is needed. Privatised water is a scam.

Unions, bankers, millionaires, 75% percent of the public and many more support taxing wealth fairly.

The Green Party has long supported fixing our unfair tax system.

With the inequality gap growing ever wider, now is the time for Labour to listen to the people and tax wealth …

Israel are planning to force Gaza's population into an 'internment camp' in Rafah.

As if any more evidence of Israel's ethnic cleansing were needed...

The Government must act now to protect Palestinian lives and prevent any further atrocities.

The Children's Commissioner insists the two-child benefit limit must be scrapped because children are living in “almost Dickensian levels of poverty”.

Child poverty is a political choice and Labour should choose to scrap the cruel limit and lift 500,000 children out of poverty…

💚 Greens have led the calls for a wealth tax.

🤝 Now former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and leading unions have joined us.

⚖️ Looking to balance the books on the backs of the poorest has backfired. It’s time for Labour to make our tax system fairer.

Israel's genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Donald Trump today in Washington.

He is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. He shouldn't be globetrotting. He should be arrested and put on trial.

Streaming was a good idea

When there was 1 or maybe 2 platforms where you could watch almost anything for under 20 bucks a month

Streaming is terrible now

A dozen platforms with media spread everywhere each charging 15 to 20 bucks a month

Like with many good ideas, they overplayed their hand […]
