When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

May seem odd to some, but I love murky, foggy, damp weather, especially after a recent drought. It's ideal for all the rainforest epiphytes, and that's the primary lens through which I see it. 🌎

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The sea is being emptied of fish, also wiping out most other wildlife in the process, to feed us. The land is being emptied of ecosystems, and the wildlife they contain, for livestock to feed us. We have ways of feeding ourselves that DON'T require emptying the planet of wildlife. Let's do it.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

I've just watched Attenborough's Oceans film. It's excellent. But my overwhelming feeling is "at last!" I've been waiting, and fruitlessly lobbying, for a film like this for 40 years. But the institutional cowardice of the broadcasters has stymied such projects, until now.

A lot of us are extremely worried about pesticides. But the point is: mass insect die-off is now happening due to climate breakdown, even where pesticides aren't a factor. Nature is being attacked on just about every front there is, and needs every last one of us to step up in its defence.
