A practical view of Ukraine war. β€’ Russia is "winning" β€’ 1000s of soldiers dying EVERY DAY β€’ No amount of NATO conventional arms will change the above β€’ No one wants it to go nuclear So only sane thing is immediate & lasting ceasefire, and negotiations! If you care about πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦!

Western propaganda is so effective! πŸ€£πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ β€’ Putin is evil. He is Hitler. β€’ Russian will be spoken in London if we APPEASE Putin β€’ Russia invasions bad, US invasions good β€’ West is democratic. Russia is gulags. β€’ Zelensky is a plucky warrier (not a grifter) And so on!

If oligarchs, owned govts & MSM/SM wanted to fix the overshot planetary boundaries incl climate, they would: β€’ veganise, ending meat production β€’ rewild animal-feed ag and the sea β€’ go for degrowth not growth β€’ elimate poverty & oligarch wealth Aaaah.. I see why they wont! πŸ’‘

My DeepSeek request: "As uk and eu push to get their troops on the ground in ukraine, write a poem to describe the resulting disaster like a second charge of the light brigade."

Another potential FF source for big oil/gas to exploit? Or just another GHG source to race us to climate collapse? Yes, climate change defrosted the permafrost containing this methane. And when this really gets going, we can get a tsunami! πŸ₯Ά english.elpais.com/climate/2025...

Appeal to young women and men in UK (and other NATO countries): How about the trip of a lifetime, paid for by your govt? Absolutely free, and lots of chance to have fun with boys toys on Ukraine's Front Line! πŸ”«πŸ’£ 1/2

This is un-fucking-believable: Two Israelis were shot in Miami, by a third Israeli who said, after getting arrested, that "he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both.” 1/2

Laboratories in a national network of 58 facilities responding to the spread of bird flu were notified Friday that 25 percent of the staff in a central program office coordinating their work were fired in the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal employees. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I'm enjoying Entrevia ("Wrong side of the tracks") on Netflix - excellent Spanish serial, massively over-acted, but somehow it still works. Recommend! ☺️

SOCK ALERT!!! I just bought lovely new socks from my local supermarket. When sitting on my sofa watching TV, they came under attack from this clawful biter: My feet look like a pin cushion!

Health and Safety is way too DEI.. 🀣🀣🀣πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜­

I post on here (mostly copies of my X posts) bc someone said it's a nicer place. (Yes, no ads, bots). But my following here is smaller, and those that are don't see my posts, or, don't like them! Also, here, I can't see post's view count. So AFAIK, there's no point my posting on here! Am I right? πŸ€”πŸ˜ͺ

Had F&C last night. In the crowded chip shop, to my amazement, I was not the only masker! One person behind the counter had a loose mask, slipping down when he was yelling orders to colleagues, and sometimes resting below the nose. But I mentally gave him E for effort! πŸ€ͺπŸ˜ͺ

Will masking come back to US/UK/EU before health services get overwhelmed by airborne virus spread? πŸ₯Ά threadreaderapp.com/thread/18891...

It is beyond insane what is happening! Do you know if Trump is stalled by a judicial injunction, can he either 1) use POTUS power to overrule it 2) use the pro-Trump supreme court majority to overrule it ❓️ Asking as a lay Brit.. ☺️

In UK, which of following should we get vaxed for now? πŸ˜’πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ β€’ c19 β€’ flu H1N1 β€’ flu H5N1 β€’ TB β€’ Mpox β€’ Measles β€’ Shingles β€’ Pneumonia With Global Warming causing mosquitos to move north, should we add β€’ Malaria β€’ Zika etc? Do vaxes coexist safely or might they react? πŸ˜ͺ
