My country is being destroyed in front of my eyes by the Westโ€™s favourite genocidal state and Iโ€™m supposed to act as though these sociopaths want to have peace.

There can be no peace in the fucking Middle East and I promise you that if Israel is not stopped the horrors will reach the West

never pre-ordered so fast.

Our culture stunts grief, one of the most important processes of life, and it shows. Embrace the fullness of life, which includes death and loss. no, knowing the '7 stages of grief' is not enough.

Another day, another reminder that letting your cat outside without supervision is animal cruelty. Additionally, you're contributing to the extinction of small wildlife species.

These are the scenes at Mercure Nottingham City Centre Hotel. Sickening use of deadly bird netting that ends up with birds trapped and starving to death. Police have been contacted.

Please sign the petition calling on the hotel to end the use of netting: protectthewild.org.uk/mercure-hote...

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

Let's hope that Trump's war of aggression achieves what he/his fossil fuel lobby doesn't want but is needed to save life on Earth: a much faster switch to renewables, and not just in the UK.

a model sheet of illustrations for a little mermaid character, with green skin and purple hair and stripes. She has a little pink shirt, and large nerdy glasses. Many different poses show different expressions and angles.

a model sheet of illustrations for a deep sea anglerfish character. They're a dark, dim purple colour with frightening teeth and an evil grin, and the quintessential dangling light out of their head. Many different poses show different expressions and angles.

a while ago, I was trying to learn Godot and wanted to make a game where you played a mermaid who accidentally got sucked down to the abyss, and had to team up with an anglerfish to get back home.
But then I lost my job and it got shelved. Maybe one day. Any #gamedev ppl wanna help me? LOL

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

So UCD keep sending me emails that as a recent alumni I have access to their 12 month masterclasses for free...I scroll down and of course "Our first Masterclass on AI Prompt Engineering was really well received, and the full recording is waiting for you in your LMS" ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

Folks need an old school twitter style teach-in about disability liberation & history. โ€œAccessible technologyโ€ has always been used as a cover to hide the fact that tech โ€œinnovationโ€ regularly excludes disabled folks AND uses us as guinea pigs to make tech for abled folks. We get retrofitted slop

Greg Davies: Canโ€™t fault you for effort, well done that man.

Sisyphus: What kept me going was knowing everyone else was also pushing that boulder uphill every day.

Alex Horne: Ah. Well, Iโ€™ve got some bad news there.

I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed.

At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time.

Come ON, Ireland!!

SHARE if you agree!

The Guga hunt is an annual tradition where gannet chicks (Guga) are bashed to death in the name of tradition so they can be eaten as a local delicacy. This 'hunt' has no place in 2026 and we're campaigning to end it.
