Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

If you work for/with a charity and have seen these recent attacks play out and would like some advice or guidance on resilience and preparedness I will happily do this pro bono. Get in touch and any help I can give I will.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41.

Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

That's fair.

You could probably match it as a compound only at the start or send of a word

Careful not to overmatch scunthorpe or wristwatch!

Crazy. These rules make flying so much better. Otoh, I got left to fend for myself at 11pm in Schiphol by klm last night. No staff, no assistance, just kip in the airport or maybe find a hotel? They'll be getting both barrels when I eventually arrive

This is buried at the end of Elizabeth's thread but it is such a key point: "people want their candidates to fight for them, not step on their necks trying to reach across the aisle."

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.
A relentless klaxon of failure.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Is wingspan truly finished until we get the African version (says the guy stuck in an airport trying to get to Kenya)? Bought your flower giving game on the back of one of your skeets, gifted it, and played vs the giftee. We both enjoyed it!

kirk was an irredeemably evil human being. takes like 'but he debated what he believed in with anyone' are uninformed, idiotic, and rancid. if you're not a white male he 'believed in' your subjugation, enslavement, deportation or murder. he misused the term 'debate' so fuckwits would platform him.

I'd say "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out", but I hope it does

Interesting that there were no apologies from all the people who said that the Elizabeth Line would be a white elephant and a total waste of money. Despite this, we've allowed their opinions to ruin HS2 and basically guarantee it's failure

Maybe he's in a box, and is simultaneously both alive and dead until the box is opened. In which case we should throw the box in a canal

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!'

You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

Let’s talk about age verification and freedom of speech. A short thread. Firstly, a reminder that freedom of speech is about both the right to impart and receive information. It’s not just about the speaker, it’s about the listener. Age verification has an impact on both. 1/10

Maybe he complained that he was being followed around by a massive orange shitehawk, and someone got the wrong idea?

Vladimir Putin's team allegedly collects his poo in a suitcase

I'd have thought it would be safer in a Poo-tin

Hopefully this post will send a message of deterrence.

You'd like to think so, but who knows 😂 hope you keep on doing what you are doing, your humour and writing makes a vague difference somewhere, at least 👍

Additionally, like 2 times in every 3 I seem to get into a protracted scrap with PayPal. This time out it was fine though.

I only really donate because I feel that looking after an Everton fan might tip the scales of righteousness in the direction of my own team. Also I like your writing.

It has got loads of people talking about saving water, in fairness. Maybe it was bait? 🤔😁

Apparently you can't just record yourself screaming as a description, so I have relunctantly written some actual words about the problems we're facing as a rescue

I'm going to mention cavitation, because spelling bee on @nytimes.com games would not let me use it, and I'm still salty.

The raw milk people are hilarious. All you have to do is meet one (1) cow and smell the situation in which they are producing that rawness and you will pasteurize everything you own for a week

ALL bees love honey, so it stands to reason that just as opposite poles of a magnet repel each other, bees will be repelled by the opposite of honey, which is Branston Pickle. A little bit smeared on the back of the neck, forehead and behind each ear will keep bees safely at bay.

Standing up for the smallest of minorities is important because when you accept the premise that one group are expendable because small or ‘insignificant’, you have accepted the idea of the expendability of human life in general, and the enemy will use your acquiescence to pick off yet more.
