Hoplostethus mediterraneus – the Mediterranean slimehead (Trachichthyidae). Remarkably, slimeheads have been documented to live for over 230 years.

This specimen is KU 42748 from the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum.

It’s annoying that this sort of empowerment isn’t encouraged more, but I guess we all understand why 😿

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

The Green Party has never seen membership growth at this scale. Ever.

5,000 members per day is becoming an ordinary figure.

Next goal: The Tories.

The reason people started protesting about Israel committing genocide in Gaza early on is because Israeli leaders began openly declaring genocidal intent early on.

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

Denying people the right to celebrate release from an unjust incarceration. Incredible (except when you know who). How can this cruelty be ended, whilst we encourage those responsible?

The GDP per capita of Portugal is about 1/3 that of the US.

Yet they have infrastructure like this — high speed rail — that costs 1/10th per mile compared to the US.

The life expectancy is 4 years longer.

And we’re supposed to be the wealthier country. @thetransitguy.com

We do care about genocide though.

#PoliticsLive
There are probably people on the far-left of the Labour Party currently plotting against Keir Starmer.
The Jeremy Corbyn man is crying while Labour are in government, which says a lot about the far-left of the Labour Party.
They don't care about power.

and for the record
1/ International law matters more than winning
2/ Respecting human beings fleeing terror matters more than winning
3/ The climate (and rest of the poly-) crisis matters more than winning

The levelling of #Gaza has taken a huge amount of munitions. The arms ‘trade' now needs a way to maintain that sort of throughput.

Where will it be?

I think this a fair point, the celebrity and ratings hullabaloo are making me uncomfortable also.

While many conservation bodies are talking about restoring nature & halting declines but sidelining the impact of climate, the wildlife trusts have seen the elephant in the room.

Refreshingly direct & honest. Conservation cannot keep pace with climate change.
