The real Gem and Molly, adopted separately, were good pals together and good fun. Both gone some time ago. Their photos are on the wall (the Rogues Gallery) so I can smile at them every day.

Just five years after mountain hares gained full legal protection, a new exemption allows them to be hunted and killed for falconry. These native animals now face being killed for falconers' entertainment, while captive birds of prey are exploited to hunt them. A shameful step backwards.

The government has betrayed everyone in Southampton and across the UK. Approving new oil and gas endangers all our futures. It is an act of climate vandalism. It will do nothing to help with the cost-of-living crisis – but will make the climate crisis worse.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Two drone evacuations in one week: CODE 9.2 fighters rescue wounded Defenders from the battlefield using StarGate UAVs. The 129th Brigade contacted CODE 9.2 for help evacuating wounded Defenders. Due to difficult terrain and the threat of FPV drones, reaching them by land was impossible.

I just learned it’s harder to become part of Hells Angels than it is to become president of the US. Specifically, Hells Angels apparently will not allow anyone guilty of sex crimes to join.

These are just a handful of examples anyone could find with a quick search online. Racists won't bother, but we mustn't let them get away with spreading demeaning lies about other cultures & civilisations. That hurts us all, & history shows, it is often a gateway to horrific atrocities. #r4today

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
