I passed 2000 followers today. Thank you very much for the companionship.

I know we don't all agree all the time but let's not let that stop us talking, sharing and growing. 🙏

Japan is reporting a flu epidemic much earlier than is usual. This early season could have implications for other countries via international travel so do get your flu vaccines (if you can) soon! 🧪 #HealthPolicy
Japan declares a flu epidemic — what this means for other nations
Researchers say that the number of infections for this time of year is unusual.

You are thinking like a European, which I'm 101% behind by the way ;-), not like one of his supporters.

Dementia takes many forms, arrives in subtle ways, we should not mock the afflicted. #JustSaying

This is so sad. Coral reefs now consigned to the bin of history. Lets hope this doesn't tirn into a cascade of tipping points. ;-(

The NATO phonetic alphabet neither originated with NATO or is a phonetic alphabet. A fascinating history of cooperation it's hard to imagine in today's world. Enjoy this #RobWords youtu.be/UAT-eOzeY4M

Treat others as you would expect to be treated, has always worked well, but this, bully boy tirade, not so much.
China has depths of ability to take shit that Trump can't even imagine. He's about to find out. #FAFO

Could? Surely anyone can see 'WILL'. As in it will send the economy into a third world tail spin.

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... I love that this paper calls out the specific brands that make up the majority of plastics polluting these mangroves ( plastics which are also responsible for killing a protected species of crocodile) 🐊. #Croctober 🧪

Odd isn't it. Trumps best argument to lower his peoples drugs bill is to say "look at how low you sell drugs to the UK NHS, sell them to us at 1/6th of the price too, you needy, greedy big pharma, thieves!!. Odd he doesn't take this line, isn't it. ;-) #JustSaying

Early? No, quicker than the rate it was proceeding at under the Tory, Boris the failure.
"I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits. I decided that this was unacceptable and thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in just nine years ... ."

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

There seems to be a race on for membership numbers. Zack is certainly pulling them in.

If I knew how to do it I'd put Keir Starmer and other senior Labour politicians in the same place. To me, they are clearly complicit in the genocide being suffered by the Gaza Palastine actioned by The State of Israel.

I've just been told my response may have given the unacceptable impression that the 'they' are scientists. This is incorrect, 'they' are not scientists, they are 'the powers that be' #tPtb, our betters, apparently. They just know answers to all questions we need to know the answer to.

Ultimately this is authoritarianism used to ensure poor people are paying all the tax possible, whilst leaving the richest to hoard the wealth of the nation they have accumulated and now want, the maximum of, to be handed on to their descendants.

We've been told not to trust scientists. When we need to know what to think, they will tell us. ;-(

I spoke too soon it plays until ".... over this seri" (series I presume) then it stops. Done it a few times.

I have an android phone. I have zero choice but to have YouTube installed. Is this content available on YouTube?

It now works. It behaves differently. Thanks for whatever you did. Listening now.
davidrowewtl.bsky.social
I'd listen if it opened the track in my browser but it doesn't. ;-(

I don't want the app. If it doesn't work in a browser that protects me which I control and clean, I have to accept I can't listen to the content.

If the Police were there to stop a breach of the peace then it is/was a breach of the peace risk to put them up and they should havd been stopped.

Take'em down and ask the Police for protection whilst they are taken down.

I hate this nationalist jingoism intended to cause tensions.

Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening.

The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street.

Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

It's hard to comprehend why the loss of glaciers, the water supply for many, isn't discussed more by the traditional media.
