On this day, 33 years ago, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in cinemas.
Starring #GaryOldman, #WinonaRyder, #KeanuReeves and #AnthonyHopkins it was an Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed success and one of the most revered #vampire movies ever.

"When karma calls, you can't hang up".
The people pushing the message that climate change isn't real are those who will be financially hit hardest when fossil fuels are ditched. They're insulated from the impact because they have money and won't be alive to see the real impact. It'll be interesting to see what happens in a century.
It absolutely beggars belief that with all the evidence we have of climate change there are still people who deny it exists. While countries like the USA roll back what little moves there have been to tackle it, the situation is getting pretty dire for the planet.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

My mother has suggested that I'm probably only tired because I need to take iron - she saw it in the Daily Mail health pages last week. Oh okay.
I'm currently working full time 9-5, doing part time/freelance bits, writing an 80k word book in nine months and parenting a toddler. And the ONE thing that has tipped me over the edge is: yesterday my child wiped his snot onto his hand and then smeared it across mine. Too much. Too far.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
