There’s a huge loophole in the government’s pledge to stop Drax burning trees from primary forest. ...there is no plan that prevents it from destroying ancient forests to power 21st-century AI searches. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've been listening to Gregorian chant on youtube while my husband has the news on to avoid despair but I suddenly reaslised all the monks are AI. Not only the weird video but the chanting. It's all AI monks and nuns on youtube. Some of it is "exorcist-approved" but I'm not having it.

Re gov. proposed PIP reforms--I volunteer with Citizens Advice. Their research shows 87% of people who currently received standard rate PIP and 13% of those receiving enhanced rate would not qualify under proposed new rules due to not scoring 4 in any one category.

Dear UK Laundry World: Perfume does NOT = freshness. Perfume does not = clean. Perfume is what people used to have to use because they didn't have effective way to remove body odour from clothing. We have automatic washers with detergents now. What's wrong with just smelling clean?

This is an old video of my dog traying to hang off a high branch. He could easily grab it from below but that's not his game. He's almost 15 now and his back legs give out easily and he only has a few weeks left. I'm so sad. He is both the sweetest and maddest dog ever.

.The USA is being rightly criticised for its inhumane deportation policies. The UK also has inhumane policies which continue under the current government. From The Guardian today. Is it radical to what children to be allowed to live in the same country as their parents?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... This is where transphobia can lead. The law doesn't specifically target Dems but just as wrong to choose not to treat someone cause Repub or married. All designed to not have to treat transgendered veterans. This is in US but will the UK laws be far behind?

After shopping for physio ice packs, my husband asked where it was for: shoulder, back, feet, legs? I've had to ice them all recently. That's when I came up with the brilliant idea of Reusable Gel Ice Pack hooded onesie!

What I like about this exchange is that while one dude keeps being an asshole, the other one is completely deescalated and went quiet and perhaps...thoughtful?

I'm scrolling here inspired by all the No Kings protests in the US while my British husband just turned on the trooping of the colour with King Charles on the balcony, prodding his young grandchildren to pay attn. [Husband not a royalist but Kong v Godzilla boring and 5 min till Blankety Blank]

I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property." DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may've still been a DHS team. religionnews.com/2025/06/13/i...
