The thing is, you don't even need to be in the loop. There are a million things your post code relate to. It's so universal.

Legendary wing walker Lillian Boyer at work.

WW1, the availability of war surplus aircraft after it and the many flight schools that popped up, created an explosion of opportunity for female aviators.

E.g. the schools that didn't want take women quickly discovered that economically they needed to.

So today Nigel Farage gave us details of his ideas for economic and financial policies.

And what an absolute disaster they would be.

After years of Tory austerity that have crippled our public services and Liz Truss' disasterous budget he wants more of the same.

*White* men

So terrifyingly Handmaid's Tale.

Farage: epic grifter

Fairy confident that the Gospel does not directly address any of those issues. Except tolerance (pro), and atheism (against, but not exactly an unbiased viewpoint).

He's practicing *some* of what he preaches. Let's not make too many assumptions.

For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

Spare some love today for Collingwood. The other Admiral at Trafalgar.

Proud northerner. Hater of flogging. Legit brilliant commander and Nelson's trusted right hand. First into battle on Royal Sovereign. Took charge after Nelson was sniped and saved the British Fleet.

Australia's tropical rainforests have become the first in the world to release more carbon than they absorb because of climate change.

We need to act now. 🚨

Hard to know where to start with this one.

I mean yeah for sure he's already cheated or is planning to. That's a given.

The absolute lack of respect empathy or compassion is staggering.

The misogyny.

Urban expansion can lead to habitat loss. Yet, as IPBES #GlobalAssessment shows, smart city planning + nature-based solutions can create resilient, bird-friendly cities.🌍

UK’s arm’s length public bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation Seven in ten Britons say it is important for top scientific institutions to be independent in exclusive new polling.

🧵🚨

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Today our report is published!

'This is what farming with climate change looks like': England endures second worst harvest on record New analysis confirms three of the five worst harvests on record have occurred in the past five years on the back of extreme heat, drought, and rainfall

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

This lot are trying to normalise racism.

But that’s not the Britain I know... and our Giga Poll of 45k shows that. Diversity is its strength, not something to fear or smear. Some people, desperate for power, will say anything.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Thorough, important, and gripping journalism.

Please take time to read.

Almost half of all Tory supporters are most likely to say Brexit has been more of a failure (46%), followed by neither a success nor a failure (26%), with only 22% saying Brexit has been more of a success

ReFuk evenly split 1/3rd failure/success/don’t know.

Lab/ LD/Green: Brexit a big fat fail 👎

My suspicion is the median voter pays scant attention to politics, and has barely any idea what they're voting for, just going on vibes. It's easy, in a politically engaged bubble, to forget that.

What USA thinks it's #1 in (and its actual rankings):
Life Expectancy: 46th
FreePress: 42nd
Healthcare: 30th
Education: 26th
Happiness: 23rd
Freedom: 17th
What the USA is #1 in:
Military Spending
Number of Billionaires
Incarceration
Bankruptcy filings
Medical debt
Gun deaths

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Amazing how meaningless a lot of the quotes are, even with the full context. Waffle and soundbites. What matters is the policy decisions that they take forward. We're far too easily swayed and misled by what politicians say, and don't look beyond it enough. (Farage is a great example of this).

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Families with 10 kids with different dads? Assuming first kid at 18, last at 40, that's 1 kid approx every 2yrs. So every 2yrs she'd have to meet a guy, get married, conceive, split up, give birth, divorce. X 10. That's one busy lady. 🤔

Ah, maybe that's it. I just assumed because they were asking for info there'd be a charge.

Before you shrug and say “Oh. PPE again. Old news”

Remember 1/ that cost lives due to reduced - or no- protection 2/ All those £billions could have been spent on crumbling NHS and school infrastructure

Instead it went into Tory crony pockets
That‘s your money & my money going into their pockets
