This thread has almost 4 million views. If anyone is still throwing out “gender affirming care (drugs and surgery) saves lives,” you know they are lying. And they are lying for the most nefarious reasons imaginable.

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

“In a primary school, the girls had one day a week to play football on the playground. The boys were upset because “they’ve taken a day off us” @FA video clearly shows mixed-sex sport in primary school results in excluding girls U11 girls are being put off sport for life 1/

First bird of my day: five sparrows fighting on the side of the road as I Iingered pretending to cross so the cars slowed down. Last year many were hit, oblivious in their feathered rages. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

Ever seen the insane effort it takes to “build green”? Just watch how they pour a SINGLE wind turbine foundation: 600–1,000 TONS of concrete, massive excavation, endless rebar, and heavy machinery tearing up the land for days. And that’s only the base. The blades? Made with balsa wood stripped from the Amazon rainforest, straight-up deforestation in the name of “saving the planet”. Then add: • Concrete • Carbon fiber • Steel • Cast iron • Copper • Aluminum • Plus boron, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel & rare earth elements All mined, refined, and shipped with massive energy & pollution. These things last 25 years max. By 2050 the world will be drowning in 43 million tons of worn-out blades, that’s the weight of 215,000 locomotives headed for landfills (most can’t even be recycled). Oh, and here’s the rest of the ridiculous list: - They slaughter hundreds of thousands of birds & bats every year - They only spin when the wind feels like it (so we still need gas/coal plants on standby) - They chew up huge chunks of land and ruin views for miles - They’re noisy, expensive to maintain, and require giant subsidies to even exist This is “green” energy? We’re destroying rainforests, mining toxic rare earths, pouring planet-warming concrete, and creating mountains of non-recyclable waste… to fight climate change? It’s completely ridiculous. A multi-trillion-dollar environmental own-goal sold as virtue.

Boys and Girls, 1973. Now Peter would be invited to consider his gender identity and the possibility that he might be trans. It’s hard to see how this can be considered progress.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Even better with a big female Peacock...

The streets were literally soaked with blood after the Islamic Republic massacred some 40,000 Iranians just two months ago.

Flaco, the beloved Eurasian eagle owl who escaped Central Park Zoo and spent a year flying free over New York City, was found dead in 2024. He had four different rat poisons in his body. Rat poison doesn't just kill rats, it kills everything that eats rats, and it does it slowly. Poisoned rodents take up to 10 days to die, moving erratically and becoming easy prey. 86% of dead raptors tested in Massachusetts had anticoagulant rodenticides in their bodies. In California, 92% of tested predatory birds showed exposure. A 2020 Tufts study found rat poison in 100% of 43 red-tailed hawks tested in the northeastern US. The Lincoln Park great horned owl family, all of them, died of rodenticide poisoning in 2024. A single barn owl family eats 1,000 to 3,000 rodents a year, for free, all without poisoning everything above them in the food chain. Put up a barn owl box instead.

Sea of gold – a fabulous sweep of lesser celandines in one of my local woods today. One of the first flowers of spring and a herald to the season of new life and vitality – or as the poet William Wordsworth noted: ‘Thou art my flower of hope’.

Kate Forbes signed off on 2 Freeports and 18 SEZs for Scotland. Link below is here letter of acceptance to Westminster. Forbes was the key figure in accepting and facilitating the Tories initiative of free zones in Scotland, Forbes has already announced the SNP will miss their climate targets. Freeports and SEZs are being sold to the public as major contributors to meet Net Zero targets, the truth is here, the SNP is greenwashing. Offshore wind energy schemes in Scotland were already going ahead, why is Freeport status deemed necessary? yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2023/08/03/the… Meeting the public's needs does not entail stealthily installing deregulated zones of exception to the host country's laws and running them under corporate governance. The public may also want to know that Forth Ports is owned by a parent company whose managing director is Lord Smith of Kelvin, the parent company is Otter Ports Ltd and is registered in the Cayman Islands. Lord Smith was a pallbearer at the Queen's funeral. This whole thing stinks, Forbes has paved the way for Scotland to be privatised and Scottish collective sovereignty to be sold off and replaced with corporate sovereignty. x.com/EuropeanPowell… x.com/EuropeanPowell…

Anyone who thinks this isn’t real is mistaken. I went to a public school in Jordan, and in second grade our Arabic language textbook included the story of Muhammad’s companion, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and how he beheaded his non-believing father, and how Allah praised his act in the Quran. Muslims are exposed to stories like this every day because Islam’s canonical books and history are full of violent stories, normalized because they are against the enemies of Allah. This is how Islam normalizes violence and sacralizes it.

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/

I finally discovered why they are doing this! The new Kindle devices have ads in them, which you have to pay extra to remove them. I’m assuming they couldn’t put ads on the old Kindles. Sooner or later the ads will play every other page! We live in corporate hell now!
Hugo Guerra @FMX_Conference@HugoCGuerra

A Kindle is probably one of the most low-tech devices ever made, so why is @AmazonUK discontinuing support for Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation? Why are they forcing new stuff without reason? A KINDLE IS A TEXT DEVICE! There is no need for updates. Text is text! #amazon #kindle
