Delighted to add the St Magnus Way pilgrim route on Orkney to our app. Together with rewalked and rewritten guides to 25 other routes in the archipelago. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/orkney/st-ma...

Today’s Autumn Arrival Spotlight is the Goldcrest! ✨ Our tiniest bird takes on an epic journey, with arrivals from northern Europe and Russia joining our resident birds in autumn. Weighing just 5-6g, it’s incredible to think such a small bird can make it across the sea!

🎉Scientists exploring the UK's maerl beds have uncovered a remarkable array of rare seaweeds, including a species last seen centuries ago, plus a tiny red seaweed now confirmed as completely new to science! 🪸 https://bit.ly/4xDOXzn

And yet, we are starting to give them data from our NHS GPs. Stop Palantir, use the contract breaker.

Julia Hartley-Brewer: Why is colonialism bad? Me: “When Britain arrived in 1700s, India had 27% of global GDP. After 200 years of theft and millions starved to death, by 1947 India had 3% of global GDP, 90% living below the poverty line, a literacy rate of 17% and life expectancy of 27”

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: "That's what the lifeboat does. It saves lives at sea. That's its job." "And this is an international duty. Everyone who goes to sea knows, in the event of someone being in difficulty, you go to their assistance." The abuse the RNLI have faced is a disgrace.

Make the government come clean about Palantir goodlawproject.org/s/f15056

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

NO media 1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended Wa Post buried it A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it Repost the march they buried

Australia says data centres need to bring their own green energy - why isn't the UK insisting on the same? Have a listen to South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, "As data centres come on line and bring their own demand for energy, they bring their own supply of power"

This simple technology has existed for a year and still hasnt replaced fertilizer. Capitalists must do everything they can to suppress innovations which hurt profit. It's not a bug, it's a function. www.worldfoodprize.org/en/laureates...

Another triumph. Going to have to listen a few times to make sure I haven't missed any gems.

After traveling 9 years and covering 3 billion miles, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got this shot of Pluto.

Reform UK holds a small handful of seats, yet received prime-time coverage for uncosted welfare reform proposals, leaving disability rights advocates deeply alarmed. Former GB News figures now leading BBC editorial decisions raise serious questions over output. #FBPE

Ocean Cleanup's redesigned system just completed its first successful haul from the Pacific Garbage Patch, pulling out plastic ranging from microplastics to ghost fishing nets.

1/15 I've published a new article looking at what some commentators are calling the "Malacca Model" for the Strait of Hormuz. After digging into the evidence, I think that comparison asks the wrong question. #TheHormuzCrisis #MaritimeSecurity

With Count Binface becoming Nigel Farage's main challenger, social media has responded with some gloriously inventive political satire | East Anglia Bylines

This is absolutely terrifying The Nino 3.4 forecast temperature anomaly mean is now at 4C, when even the biggest historical super ninos have seen less than 3C I really have no idea what this is going to bring over the next 12 months, but it will be very, very, grim

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick" Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause and kick Palantir out of our NHS.

Mad - and maddening - how rare these voices are.

Fascinating - I probably won't remember the explanations, but I did understand them and the salient points will stay. Good to know my own country (UK) is working on solutions.

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

We need to educate those that are thinking about voting for the fraudulent liars & thieving millionaires in the Reform party. Repost please.

Please read, like and share widely. The media is not covering the horrors taking place in Newark, New Jersey like they did when ICE tried to take over Minneapolis, so it's up to us to do that for them. open.substack.com/pub/catladie...

WE MUST RESIST THE PALANTIR TAKEOVER 🚫 🚫

Behold, the laburnum arch. At 55 metres long and more than 140 years old, the arch at Bodnant Garden is a spectacle to behold. If you want to see it for yourself, please pre-book to ensure you're able to visit.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Predictions of the mother of all super El Ninos keep getting worse This monster has the potential to tear global weather patterns apart and bring worldwide mayhem But are governments making plans to try and cope - uhhm, No

Nigel Farage once again spots the gap between what shocks the public and what the law can realistically punish. The bigger story may be how weak UK electoral enforcement has become.

A truly scary story As you all know , one of the hidden risks of #ClimateChange is the clouds After South California data , here is the data about Europe Clouds are disappearing .... Plain scary #ClimateCrisis #Metacrisis

Uh oh. Is this happening in the UK yet? Or is it one of the joys yet to come from AI, Palantir and the rest?
