Death's-head Hawk from the Obs moth-traps this morning
It still doesn't quite feel real, but I've now published *four* books about #dcfc! These are my telling of the Rams' history from 2010 - 2024.

A lot happened in those 14 years.

I'm not planning another one for a while, but who knows...

someone wrote that, someone edited that, someone reported that, someone paid for website hosting, someone copyedited it

if you think a publication is valuable enough to read, consider shelling out the price of a big mac or so per month to read that publication SO THEY CAN KEEP PUBLISHING

The most interesting vote of the night imho and one that foretells a potential apocalypse in the suburbs of the south-east for the Conservatives. More liberal Tories go LD, more reactionary ones go to Reform.
Camberley West (Surrey) Council By-Election Result:

🔶 LDM: 49.5% (+16.6)
➡️ RFM: 25.9% (New)
🌳 CON: 20.4% (-28.8)
🌹 LAB: 4.3% (-11.4)

No WPB (-2.3) as previous.

Liberal Democrat GAIN from Conservative.
Changes w/ 2021.

The stuff he said to the British far-right rally about "fight back or die" chilled me to the marrow. The bastard was absolutely inciting something like what happened over there on January 6.
@sundersays.bsky.social @markpackuk.bsky.social A Reform councillor upsetting residents by refusing to accept that they might feel threatened by 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 being put up all over their streets. I've seen the text of one of Cllr Whitford's replies - it was shocking www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-n...

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.

I assume Jenrick will be asked to confirm if he has a similar position on burning Bibles in public - it may be offensive but it should not be illegal.

But would he really pretend he would attend the court case to show solidarity & support to a Bible burner too? He surely would not.

Tens of millions of essentially factory farmed poultry are dumped into the countryside each year. They boost the population of mesopredators like foxes, reducing ground nesting bird populations. They are an obvious avian flue hazard. They eat declining reptiles. Turn out they're also a health hazard
Ticks are more likely to carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease in areas where Common Pheasants Phasianus colchicus are released, according to new research.
