Trump to scrap landmark finding that regulates carbon emissions Experts warn the move will severely curb the federal government's ability to combat climate change.

No doubt this is what man-made climate change-denying Andrea Jenkyns would like to see happen here. All the Reform types say their anti-migrant protest is about protecting children but that doesn't extend to passing on a habitable planet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shithouse headline of the day
%age of UK population born abroad = 16%. If prison pop. reflected that it should be c1 in 6 prisoners - but as it is, foreign-born people c22% less likely to be in prison - but that won't play well with the Times white-collar knuckle dragger readers

Israel's a country where for many the red mist's descended. The blood lust's up and kept up by those whose political lives depend on the genocide continuing. But when the last medic's been bombed, the last journalist shot & the last family buried alive, who's next?

Lego City set. Non-identified Federal Goon Squad. Seems more relevant now than when it was made in 2020.

This just came up in my FB memories, from FIVE YEARS AGO! Lego always was ahead of their time.

For those bitching about lowering voting age - young people will be the most impacted by the climate change. They see many of the supposed adults in the room - mainly those doing the bitching - doing Jack Shit and decrying Net Zero targets. It's only right they should have a say.

Just figured out why Trump's head is orange.
He is, in medical parlance, termed PP - Pumpkin Positive
Shine a torch in his ear and the whole head lights up.

Would all those, on the Right and Left, who were so enraged by Bob Vylan at Galastobury care to weigh in with the same level of vociferousness on this?
Yvette Cooper - perhaps we'll see the Orange Order being proscribed with the same speed as Palestine Action?

Judges don't rule by decree. That's the deranged orange demagogue style. They rule on the law.

The @BBCNews' motto is "Nation shall speak peace unto nation". The motto was adopted by the BBC in 1927, when it was formed. It now now has a caveat: "unless it's about the Israeli genocide in Gaza, in which case we keep silent."

Otley run crossbow attack suspect dies, police confirm The 38-year-old posted online before the planned violence and listed his targets.

Total silence from the usual RW yahoos who'd be incandescent with selective outrage were the accused a person of colour, a muslim, a migrant.
Why - because the attack was fuelled by far right idealogy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Prophetically fitting that the Deranged Orange Demagogue should have a cameo in the 2001's Zoolander - a film that centres on all that's vain, self-absorbed, jealous and without substance.
