Powerful stuff! 🌻

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

"Labour and LibDem voters overwhelmingly favor rejoining, with 71% and 78% in support. Majorities in every part of the UK are pro-EU, with Scotland leading at 73%, followed by London and Wales at 65%. Support is lowest in the Midlands (53%) and northern England (54%), yet both remain above 50%."

"This space heater is being called the Tesla of heaters": I think this ad spotted on YouTube might need a bit of a makeover

I've just sent out an email cancelling an event that was due to take place on Thursday evening and have ended it "Thank you for your understanding". It was so tempting to put "Thank you for your attention to this matter". The phrase carries so much irony.

Happy International Fuzzy Brain Day to all those who celebrated!

The German for Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is "Künstliche Intelligenz" (K.I.). The ad on this plumber's van says: "We use K.I. – Klaus and Ingo." 😅😂🤣

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

I have one ticket to see Brian Bilston in Bristol tomorrow night ( Saturday 15 Nov). Can anybody use it? I paid £28. Make me an offer!

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

11-year-old wildlife campaigner Amaya Edwards saw a seal that had been killed by a flying ring. Now she’s leading a campaign to ban them from beaches and she won’t stop until real change happens. Read her short article ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I prefer solar car parks, solar rooftops and turbines that don’t kill wildlife. If we are doing this to save the planet then why aren’t we going the extra mile?

PALESTINIANS IN GAZA ARE STARVING TO DEATH. We’ve known this is where this was headed for over a year and a half. Shame on us all.

Mary Anning has always been a hero of mine. She was a topic of lessons both in & outside of the classroom. I’m glad she has finally been recognised with a lovely statue in Lyme Regis.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

To commemorate the iconic CHEAP PAINT sign that was lost in the fire, we've taken the letters from it and used them to create a digital font called CHEAP PAINT INSIDE! This isn't a joke! You can download it yourself to have a go with it! Link in comments!
