I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.
*See next post.

Those who'll do so purely when it's one lot or another are highly dodgy, to say the least.
Utterly chilling insight into how Keir Starmer's team has been operating from the beginning. As others have been pointing out for years, the Labour Party and the country have been taken for a ride. There was a coup within the party, using a host of dirty tricks.

Two things are simultaneously true:
1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it.
2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.
If you denounce the Iranian massacre of protesters, but not the Gaza genocide, you're wrong
If you denounce the Gaza genocide, but not the Iranian massacre of protesters, you're wrong
The very same applies to the US invasion of Iraq, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
It's called *consistency*.
History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

At least American elected officials, now that Trump is OPENLY defying SCOTUS re: tariffs, cannot claim to not know what is going on with him and his govt. They need to DEAL with it. ASAP.

Goldfinches coming in for the Summer Savoury seeds but of course, they'll also take any grass seeds that happen to be availble.
There are no untidy weeds in the mind of the finch.

Did u know?Before the worker bumblebees are born the queen must forage for food herself.She collects pollen on her hind legs to build up a pile of it in her nest.When she has enough pollen she lays eggs on top & sits on the pile,like a chicken,keeping it all warm until the 1st workers hatch.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐝
