@ABridgen Nope

More Americans are refusing blood transfusions from vaccinated donors. Questions were asked about this shortly after the Covid shots were rolled out. If you are unvaccinated would you take a blood transfusion from someone who is CV vaccinated ? dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

@ShaykhAzhar I believe the stats were similar in Iraq under Saddam if I recall correctly. (John Pilger possibly? )

Female literacy in Iran was ~35–40% before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Today it’s ~85% overall, with ~99% among young women. Your sign of progress is for women to be on OnlyFans

A recent paper by USC's Harry D'Angelo and climatologist Judith Curry calls Net Zero "a harmful and unnecessary goal," writing, "There is no credible evidence of an existential threat from global warming." They point out that Earth has warmed about 1.3C since the 1800s, and during that warming humanity has grown healthier, wealthier and more productive than ever. The authors warn that abandoning fossil fuels would cripple food, steel, cement, plastics and global supply chains, producing huge costs and no measurable benefit. They point out that even if the US cut emissions to zero today, the temperature effect by 2100 would be less than 0.2C - statistically undetectable. The real threat isn't climate. It's reckless energy policy.

For those who missed the beginning. This is Doris. Doris is a Texel ewe on a fell in the Lake District. She is four years old. She has been described as part of the problem with upland agriculture. Things Doris has done this month: Maintained 45 plant communities on a fell grazed continuously since the thirteenth century: tormentil, harebells, heath bedstraw, fine-leaved fescue, the low-growing species that require a grazed sward to survive. Kept the base of the 1771 dry-stone wall short enough that freeze-thaw cycles don't work into the joints. The wall is standing. The wall will outlast everything currently being written about livestock farming because Doris is eating the grass at its base. Grazed the section above the skylark nest at exactly the right height to maintain the cover ratio. The farmer has watched her do this for three years. He's never told the RSPB. He doesn't think they'd believe him. Three confirmed breeding pairs this season in the east corner. First time in six years. Walked into the bog. Extracted herself. Concluded the bog started it. No further mention of the bog. Been in Brian's field 51 times. Brian cannot work out how. The wall is always repaired. The mortar is always dry. Brian has started to accept that Doris is using the wall. Got cast in the dip for the fourth time. On her back 11 minutes on Thursday. Farmer righted her. She walked away with the purposefulness of an animal that had somewhere important to be. The somewhere important to be was two metres away. Thursday has not been mentioned since. Predicted rain four times this week. Farmer checked his waterproof against her movements. Correct four out of four. Things Doris has complained about this month: None on record. Things Doris has read about herself: None. Doris is grazing. Brian's spreadsheet has 15 columns. The fell is improving. This is Doris's fault.

@DebiEvansMatron It's quite amazing the confidence that a couple of lines of Columbian finest can give you.

Hadn’t he got enough to do 🙄

@MaxtheCrowhouse @_NorthVIII I lived with Israelis in London during my late teens/early 20s. Nothing has changed.

israel is a profoundly sick society that must be dismantled completely

@YvonneBurford @SamaHoole @benryanwriter The reply I came for.

@SamaHoole @benryanwriter well.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239. Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens. Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to. 5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning. 6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June. Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss. 10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it. 1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama. 4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt. 7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime. Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth." Robert would have a great deal to say about this. Robert does not have the energy.

@ABridgen 'Iran'. Ok.

As threatened Iran has attacked a British target. The British Castrol oil company in Erbil, Iraq. What do you think Starmer’s response will be ?

@sjs856 Wrong

Every single childhood vaccine has had a full placebo controlled trial. Every single one.

The mask certainly is off. This isn't just an April Fools in poor taste... It's monstrous.

@ukhomeoffice @AequusIudex I can't even.

Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime. By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.

@jakerattlesnk Black and White are shades. Not colours.

I’ve watched this at least 20 times today

@chris_kratovil I can recite the whole of Tam O'Shanter. Surely that qualifies me as a candidate for Scottish Secretary. Party tricks presented as competence. Look at the birdy nonsense.

It’s not every day that one gets to listen to a former British Prime Minister recite from memory the opening passages of The Iliad in Ancient Greek, with no notes, in response to a random question from an undergraduate—and all while wearing what appear to be Thomas The Tank Engine socks. But today was one such day. My thanks to my good friend Brad LaMorgese for the opportunity to see the colorful and comic Boris Johnson speak tonight at the University of Dallas.

Did you hear about the latest war crime?

@damienslash 😂 excellent 👌

I have been banned from the DMT realm

Hear ye, hear ye, we have an update from Lord Farquaad! 😂

@SimonLes12 @TheGriftReport Wow. You're a bit of a cunt aren't you.

@TheGriftReport "she says" I call bullshit on this story unless she can provide some evidence I'll go with an alternative version "Singer Duffy after a drug fuelled sex weekend became hooked on meth, spending years a reclusive drug addict. Now clean, she's made up a story to cover her shame"

🚨DUFFYTO REVEAL ALL SINGER DRUGGED ON BIRTHDAY, KIDNAPPED ABROAD, RAPED & HELD CAPTIVE FOR FOUR WEEKS IN NEW DISNEY+ BOMBSHELL DOC! Welsh chart queen Duffy (Mercy, Rockferry) was spiked at a restaurant celebrating her birthday in 2010, flown unconscious to a foreign country, imprisoned in a hotel room and brutally raped while the attacker drugged her repeatedly for weeks. She was flown back to Britain, threatened with death if she spoke out, then drugged again in her own home – living in terror, moving houses constantly and vanishing from public life for over a decade. Now she’s telling the full horror in “Duffy: The 5th House” with unprecedented access, interviews and her story of pain, defiance and survival. The truth is finally coming out. Brave as hell.

@samiramohans Oui! I was just thinking this too!

the uncanny valley of the aesthetics remaining largely the same with minor changes and then having mostly actors who look, again, very similar to the predecessors makes this feel like ai. like i know it's not ai but it feels like it. does this make sense to anyone else
