This is true. I live in Italy. The UK media has been whipped into a hysterical disinformation frenzy by Farage and this, in turn, has led half the population (polls are clear) to lose the plot. For anyone who lives abroad and follows British news, it is quite evident, striking and disturbing.

A dam good year: those fascinating beavers breed again A third year of beaver births at Sculthorpe Moor highlights the vital role these ecosystem engineers play in restoring biodiversity

By felling trees and damming streams, beavers turn woods into wetlands, creating space for amphibians, invertebrates and even raptors.

Lovely! In better condition than mine, not photo worthy 🀣but still a delight.
I believe that saving the seed heads does not necessarily result in cultivating the same colour.

Survivors are watching the President of the United States of America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ call what they survived a β€œhoax,” and I want to remind them that predators will always protect predators and nothing you went through is lessened because of it. We believe you, we know what happened, and he can’t erase anything.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Laughing face emojis from a White House account quoting Trump about him β€œprobably” meeting with Zelensky, whose country is being bombed every day by Russia and is in need of US help, which is meant to be its biggest backer. In the past 24 hours, two massive attacks killed 25 people and injured 100s.

So the old party leader who the party yeeted is now the new party leader and the old party leader who got yeeted by his constituents is trying to get back into Parliament by running in the safest riding in Canada so he can be the new party leader again and the party's newest slogan is "Change"?

Doug Ford: I need more money for my cars and my friends!

Danielle Smith: I want my independence!

Pierre Poilievre: It’s not fair though! I want a do-over!

Mark Carney: If you don’t all stop right now I will turn this car around.

⚠️ FAILURE BY UCP & AHS LEADS TO WORST ALBERTA MEASLES CRISIS IN DECADES ⚠️

Alberta is experiencing its most severe measles outbreak since 1987, with case counts soaring to 265 including three children currently in intensive care.

A failure of government inaction.

Good grief. Premier Smith is beating every dead horse grievance she can possibly dredge up. She sounds like a whiny baby, not someone β€œdefending” the province. The language she is using to describe the fed government: demonize, battle, attack, hostile, etc feeds right into her separatist agenda.

I am so sick of her and her grievance politics. She is the one sowing fear and anger - something she is gaslighting Albertans about right now in her announcement, blaming others for doing so.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

She redeemed herself slightly by saying it didn't hurt that Carney was good looking.
I think she didn't get a lot of the banter either which left her in no man's land.

When you’re getting lectured by the <checks notes> German government on failing to account for the dangers posed by right-wing extremism, it might be time to take a seat.
