Time is Sliding

A lot better than the present shit show!

Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Where’s the pushback? Climate deniers expected more resistance to the fossil fuel blitz. But Democrats, billionaires and activists have gone silent

🚨Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Where’s the pushback?

So excited to see Rei (@rtakver.bsky.social) in The Guardian! 🎊🎊

Some calm-headed, commonsense is finally surfacing in UK politics

Photo of a round-ish hole into a tunnel running at a slight slope into the ground. There are dead leaves on the floor of the tunnel and grass to the entrance’s sides and top. The tunnel curves away out of sight.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 38: opening to a badger sett. Badgers are protected by law but the UK government continues to facilitate a war against them (euphemistically called culling) to placate farmers who exploit other animals & have them killed when they’re no longer useful.

Superbugs Start on Farms The FDA released data showing a roughly 16% one year increase in sales of medically important antibiotics for use in farmed animals, from 2023 to 2024.

We are burning through last resort medicines to prop up industrial animal farming. That is not food security. It is public health sabotage.

An insightful piece that shows how individual change makes a big impact on systems. Vegans are engaged in a powerful boycott pushing system change & that will lead to stranded assets.

Photo of a ruined stone farmhouse with just one corner of it standing, trees growing in the middle of the rubble and only two vertical stones showing where the entrance was. In the sky, barely visible, is a short vapour trail from a plane. On the hill in the distance, wind turbines are just visible. The sky is fully blue. The foreground is grassy green.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 37: Gaian take-over, a hint of ruination in the sky & Trump-bait turning on a faraway hill if you look carefully.

Out of nowhere a sharp hook pierces through your upper lip and drags you underwater. Frightened, you do everything you can to escape, but end up drowning to death.

This is how it feels for fish. 🎣

If you wouldn't like it, don't pay for it to happen to them.

Thanks. Thought it might be & wrote that in alt text. Didn’t have time to investigate properly when snatching the photo.

Rather than mix fix, I prefer minced mixer.

Photo of some sort of trolley abandoned amongst undergrowth. The trolley is painted red & on its side. A black wheel is facing the sky. Behind the trolley there appears to be a metal barrel stuck in the ground. The circular top of the barrel faces upwards. Part of the trolley looks like a motor or engine. It’s just possible that the trolley was actually a cement mixer and the barrel was its drum.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 36: trolley folly.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?

Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.

The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

Photo of a timber shed that’s falling apart. The shed is to the side of a dry stone wall covered in bright green moss. That wall stretches from the foreground into the distance. For the wall’s entire length, there is a leafy footpath on its left. There are leafless trees in the background.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 35: a wooden shed shedding its leaves while moss glows past.

More cobblers from the Daily Fail. The comic for the hard of thinking.

I've noticed almost all litter is associated with things that aren't good to put in one's body. If people don't respect their own bodies, they won't respect the environment either.

Absolutely

Photo of a bus station’s black perforated metal bench seat with lots of food & drink packaging dumped below it. Beyond the bench is a low brick wall with windows above it. Through the windows, a vehicle hard standing is visible and bike racks beyond that. Concrete paving flags cover the floor of the bus station below the bench seat.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 34: at the bus station. What happened to “civilisation”?

Have I got this right? MAGA = Make America Get Angry

Southampton Students Vote To Move Towards Plant-Based Menus In Response To Climate Crisis - vegconomist - the vegan business magazine On Thursday 19th February, the Student Council at the University of Southampton’s Students’ Union voted by an overwhelming majority of 12-3 for Students’

Universities are taking “steps to reduce their contribution to the climate crisis by switching to plant-based catering, Southampton becomes the latest student body to step up…

Last week, students at Bologna, Italy voted for 100% plant-based canteens”

Why can’t the British commentariat grasp that Britain’s Gaza policy troubles many non-Muslims too?

Many white voters were appalled by Starmer appearing to endorse collective punishment and the proscription of Palestine Action.

They still can’t imagine “ordinary” people caring about Palestinians.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

non-vegan leftists love supporting an entire industry built on the things they claim to hate; exploitation of those that the privileged see as lesser, automated death for the sake of convenience and profit, and an industry introduced to north america by colonizers that destroys Indigenous land.

Photo of a meat counter with lots of bloody flesh on display. Above it, a sign states “Special offer. 1/2 lamb legs only £15.99.

Human Wreckage 365 project day 33: dismembered body parts for sale including the legs of lambs who would only recently have been skipping, joyfully unaware of their imminent fate on this altar to carnism.

Today is a great day. No longer can people argue that a Green vote is a wasted vote…not that they were ever right.

The level of dirt thrown against Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer this week from the Gutter Press and from Labour/Reform was unbelievable.

And for what crime? Just wanting to make Britain a better place to live.

But in the end it did not work. Shows there is still hope in this world

Manchester Green Party graphic on a green background with hannah spencer. it’s a green win! the gorton and denton residents chose hope, not hate. here’s to change. thank you very much to all of our volunteers that helped elect hannah, our 5th Green MP and 1st in the north!

✅ Hope HAS WON!

💪 Only the GREENS can take on Farage

🇬🇧 Politics has changed forever

🪠 Hannah the Plumber is now Hannah Spencer the MP for Gorton and Denton!

🐝 The FIRST NORTHERN GREEN MP

🥀 Labour have been replaced

🚫 Reform's rise has been halted. Hate has been defeated.

Labour have smeared the Green Party on my doorstep several times over the years.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

What a rare breath of deliciously fresh air. Congratulations Hannah, Zack, everyone involved in defeating Reform's naked xenophobic authoritarianism with authentic humanist hope, not with Starmer's authoritarianism-lite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
