Not to lessen the dreadful brutality of such hateful unjust attacks, but I would like to point out that it is definitely not OK to kick an animal like this either. Hope I don&#39;t sound like a pedant or unsympathetic by saying so, but the phrase should not be in use any more than now taboo racist terms. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1527z272lyo

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Rachelburch/116597241786001420 Love Hawthorns. I believe that, after our native oaks, they support more species than any other tree. It&#39;s a shame they don&#39;t get more appreciation. Getting anyone to leave a mature hawthorn in a laid hedge is a tough ask!

It baffles me that Republican votes are still enamoured with Trump, even after all the grift and cruelty and the ridiculous &quot;ballroom&quot; fiasco. We truly are a doomed race, one which willingly votes for its own demise. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjpng88d2vo

&quot;A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said that neither the president, his family or the company played any role in selecting or approving investments. They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management, the statement said.&quot; - yeah, right.🤔 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cd6pzg7z319o

We fitted solar thermal (hot water) panels when re-roofing in 2006. They&#39;ve been great and very cost effective. Added solar PV around them in 2011. In 2023, using over 10 years import/export data I calculated the optimum extra PV/batteries needed to satisfy most of our power needs and covered a shed in PV. The shed is south facing with a 20 degree roof. The vertical panels help in winter.

From a post by matthighton.bsky.social. Post says: &quot;Mel Gibson pictured with his doctor in 2004&quot; ... but that&#39;s no doctor - too much blood! It&#39;s obviously his surgeon and his just come out of surgery.

I refuse to engage with this so called &quot;reality&quot;, which the universe has been trying to foist on us of late. Perhaps it&#39;s a tell that we are actually inside The Matrix? #NotMyReality

Britain is (apparently) one of the few countries in the world to treat pet fleas and worms prophylactically. This seems to make much better sense. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyxpnz45yzo

The newsreader on Radio 4 this morning, covering negotiations with Iran, referred to whether Iran would hand over their &quot;nuclear dust, as President Trump calls it&quot;. To everyone else it&#39;s &quot;Enriched Uranium&quot;, but that the USA has a child as President we need translations. What next, &quot;Moo moo cows&quot;?

RE: https://mas.to/@wellingboroughecogroup/116227169051555022 I&#39;m too late boosting this for yesterday&#39;s Repair Cafe but there will be another, so if you live near Wellingborough give it a try! It&#39;s so much better for the environment and your pocket to get stuff repaired.
