Transphobes love to be like "the people who disagree with me on this are all good at science and smart. What's up with that?"

"My love, how will I call you?" broke my heart.

📢 EXPOSED: Big banks and investors are pouring $ BILLIONS into the salmon farming industry, driving its enormous growth and huge profits at the expense of wild fish populations and communities around the globe. Here are 5 key takeaways from our new report that you should know about 🧵(1/6)

Sounds familiar

This is the end of factory farms taking a dump in our rivers. Fab work from River Action.

Boris Johnson endorsing Donald Trump last October with one of the great Freudian slips of all time

Americans wanted their country run like a business… then got the guy who went bankrupt 6 times to run it 😂 You can’t make this shit up, it’s just too crazy at this point.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

#Zelenskyy #StandWithUkraine

Zelenskyy has really raised the credibility of comedians, but also given the world a wildly misleading bar for what most of us are capable of.

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

There's been lots of stories about H5N1, but I've yet to see a deep dive into where it came from—which is also the story of how industrial poultry production methods are responsible for turning harmless influenzas into monsters. My latest, for @nautil.us: nautil.us/the-unnatura...

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

How often do we see that the same people pushing the "people can choose what they want to consume" model are also happy to let corporations off the hook when it comes to labelling, information sharing or just about anything that might put a pause on profit?

The Soil Association and the RSPCA assured scheme are not fit for purpose, neither has an upper limit for mortality, a farmer could lose 99% of their fish and the remaining 1% would still get the "high welfare" rubber stamp. Why?

BBC Wales are today broadcasting a story about some of the extremeists behind the protests in Llanelli nearly two years ago. One of the people exposed by their undercover reporter is Roger Phillips. He was one of the ringleaders of the protests at the Llanelli hotel

This individual is about to become Assistant Secretary of State and Chief of Protocol of the United States of America.

This is so heartbreaking it's unimaginable. "I hope my life saves another by police services acting faster. Don't let bullies live free." How many women with violent partners are failed by the police & the state? www.lbc.co.uk/news/boyfrie...

Salmon are among a quarter of freshwater species facing extinction. Rivers and lakes might be small on a map, but their impact is enormous - 10% of the world’s species depend on them. This isn’t just an environmental issue; it’s about life as we know it (on this planet).

For decades, lead ammunition has been poisoning our wildlife & communities☠️ But now we have a chance to turn things around - you can help us make this happen💪 Join us in calling on Steve Reed MP to make history & #BanLead for good📜 Act now👇 act.wwt.org.uk/page/160992/...

The world’s richest man & insecure nepo-baby shouldn’t be allowed to dictate UK politics. Yet some politicians act like sycophants & his unhinged outbursts dominate news, while our democracy is serially undermined. We must break the super-rich’s grip on our media & politics.

Well done @carolinelucas.bsky.social cas.bsky.social and @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ham.bsky.social for making a stand against the RSPCA's hypocrisy. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme... archive.ph/6A7UM

It needed to be said (and I'm hardly the first person to say any of this!!!) www.vox.com/future-perfe...

EXPOSED: "organic" salmon sold in Tesco, Ocado + Sainsburys treated with toxic chemicals. Our investigative team has uncovered yet another salmon farming scandal. Loopholes around labelling standards are deceiving customers... Worth considering at the supermarket this Christmas

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
