The Epstein Wars are in full swing it seems. Absolute insanity and never would have thought, just 10 years ago, that the US would be engaging in new wars just to stop a pedo going to prison. Saying that, the Iranian regime did need to go. But the reasons for the conflict are unjust and irrelevant.

We have now started wars with 2 different countries and nearly dissolved NATO to try and distract from the fact that Trump is in the Epstein files.

These so-called "patriotic" ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งnewspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง to be sovereign. They're content being a ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธvassal.

I always find it amusing how the only people saying Europe is in decline are those not living in it. Over a decade, all I've seen is stable economy, safety, rising salaries (and price for goods also), and actual order. Meanwhile the US is in chaos, one bubble pop away from economical collapse.

To be clear, Trump has given a pardon to a former Honduran leader convicted of smuggling tons of cocaine into the US and has kidnapped the Venezuelan leader and his wife so that we can steal their oil. The US and its leaders must be sanctioned by all other nations. We are a pariah nation.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means itโ€™s now the US administrationโ€™s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

My summary of the F1 2025 season: - Oscar bottled it, or something else was at play. - Verstappen was far and away the best driver overall, but needs to keep his cool (Spain). - Lando did exactly what he needed to. Congrats to him!

Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart? Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC. (A note on what Tories did to cause this, from The Decade In Tory)

If there was ever a time it became clear itโ€™s important to move off โ€œbig-techโ€ for your hosting, services etc. it was yesterday. Especially any government or public organisation. The fact the AWS outage caused NHS services to go down is unacceptable on many levels.

bluesky absolutely has a growth problem. at this point it's just me, the several thousand sockpuppet accounts i faithfully maintain, and you. and if you're weirded out by that, how about you just take a beat and imagine what an average day is like for me

Weโ€™re definitely before The Great Filter, and not after it. Sobering thoughtsโ€ฆ

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the worldโ€™s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. ๐ŸŽ‰ Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
