Dr. Michael Osterholm cuts to the chase on why cutting mRNA research funding is such a dangerous idea.

Israeli Haaretz correspondent Gideon Levy on C4 News talking about how Israeli settlers now feel emboldened to launch attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, arguing that Gaza has created an environment in which settlers believe they will not face any criminal sanction.

Shocking footage on C4 News of the point blank shooting of a 60 year old man by Israeli settlers, man ends up losing his leg. Man was attempting to defend his olive grove from being seized. Israeli police do nothing to arrest the shooter and instead arrest the man's son. #Israel #Palestine #WestBank

The employment rate of non-EU born migrants exceeded that of the UK-born for the first time on record.

Confirms other evidence that recent migrants (even if they did not arrive on work visas) are very likely to be working/have high employment rates.

So the conservative host on NewsNation, Leland Vittert, lost it when I brought up January 6th and Trump's failure to prevent violent crimes that day, and his refusal to send in the National Guard that day.

He cut me off and then ended the interview!

Everyone who argued aggressively that Trump is not a fascist looks pretty silly right now.

RFK Jr. doesn’t like that a study of every child born in Denmark from 1997-2018 showed no link between aluminum in vaccines and 50 adverse health outcomes. This study included more than a million kids.

RFK Jr. wants the study retracted.

The journal, which is a very prestigious one, refused.

Screen reads The study, opens new tab, which was funded by the Danish government and published in July in the Annals of Internal Medicine, analyzed nationwide registry data for more than 1.2 million children over more than two decades. It did not find evidence that exposure to aluminum in vaccines had caused an increased risk for autoimmune, atopic or allergic, or neurodevelopmental disorders. The work is by far the best available evidence on the question of the safety of aluminum in vaccines, said Adam Finn, a childhood vaccination expert in the UK and pediatrician at the University of Bristol, who was not involved in the study.

Kennedy is throwing a fit because a large well designed study contradicts him.

What would it take to help him see the errors of his ways?

Sadly I don’t think he’ll learn. We need him removed from office.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

Karen Bass: "You don't deploy the armed forces because of people's feelings."

Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500 Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Government has got this spectacularly wrong.

If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.

But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.

The thing that shines through this is Trump’s sincere compassion for the homeless and the victims of crime. #Epstein

Mad orange grandad is at it again I see.

There are two European camps on Trump 2.0: pro-deference and pro-defiance. The pro-deference camp is currently calling the shots. But one has to wonder for how long, at the current rate, that will be sustainable.

A hand holds a book, “Shade: The Promise of a Forgotten Natural Resource” by Sam Bloch, with a busy terrace below a canopy of street trees out-of-focus in the background.

"Perhaps because we’ve become so adept at cooling the indoors with air conditioning, we’ve forgotten the importance of cooling the outdoors, too. There's no technology that cools it as effectively as a tree... essential public infrastructure with major implications for energy use and public health."

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

China’s comeback as the Kingdom of Bicycles is happening at a momentous scale.

In Beijing, 3200 km of infrastructure has been built, with 200 km added each year.

It is a spectacular course correction—an admission that cities with more people cycling work better for everybody.

The government may need to look into proscribing X if Elon Musk can not contain calls for terrorist violence

I wonder if the Mail mention inside which party left jails dangerously full and failed to build any while ramping up sentencing?

This is a great example where it feels like the Conservatives at some point just gave up on governing.

Isabel Oakeshott says that the media ignored these protests. The protests were covered in the BBC, the Mail, GB News, the Express, the Guardian, the Times, the I-paper & many local media in the places the one large and many small protests happened

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Calls for a "huge nationwide wave" of protests in last 48 hours saw about 300 people attend one locally-organised protest in Nuneaton (serious charges in local case) + 19 protests range from 6 peoole (Wolverhampton) with about four more reaching 100-200 people (Altrincham,Canary Wharf)

Total < 2000

Also the contrast between posts from the right about how the Online Safety Act is an authoritarian attack on free speech vs zero mentions of what's happening re Palestine Action.

Very good Fraser Nelson essay about Britain's successes - not its failures - in The Times. Take a look at the triumph of state action and public policy over carbon emissions and air quality. We can do these things. But we have to will it, act together, and have confidence.

Yes, the very obvious point that you can easily stop and look at interesting stuff. So many times in a car I thought “damn I wish I was on a bike now”. Make cycling a viable and safe option in rural areas and more and more people will naturally chooser the more pleasant nature-connected option.

Human connection to nature has declined 60% in 200 years, study finds Prof Miles Richardson says people risk ‘extinction of experience’ in the natural world without new policies

I happily admit that I'm much more connected to nature and wildlife around me when I bike for transportation.

I never got that in a car.

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism

I have to pedal hard to hit 20 mph and I'm sharing road with cars that go 34 mph before they can get a cam ticket and I'm getting my balls busted over gong 18-19 mph instead of being forced to go 15 mph as I'm at constant risk from SUVs and people watching TikTok in their cars. Touch grass FFs.
