How does it misrepresent the Ecology? I don't think it goes far enough in explaining the benefits of cattle vs sheep.

Less sheep more cattle. Good.

I'm not talking about everyday Americans (although I don't doubt there are quite a few ghouls cheering on the indiscriminate destruction in Tehran). I'm talking about governments and institutions including law enforcement.

Trump isn't that far removed from the way the US has been for decades. He's slightly more extreme and a less believable liar, that's about it.

Lovely. One of my favourite plants.

Blue Tit is the bird that started it all with me. I was 10 years old and a pair of them (and a pair of Great Tits) came foraging through the canopy of a Horse Chestnut at eye level. 45 years later it doesn't take much effort to see them with 10 year old eyes again.

What in the name of fuck is that? Hummingbird are great, that is an abomination.

Unlocking the 'time capsules' of migrating birds Pollen encrusted around the bill of migrating warblers can reveal marked differences in foraging ecology between bird species.

Looks like it's been done! www.birdguides.com/articles/orn...

I don't know much about Hegseth but I predict that greasy little ponce absolutely reeks of perfume.

What consequences are there for your gut microbiome taking this stuff? It's an awful thing ecologically, wiping out dung associated fauna in animals (beetles, flies etc that are essential in breaking down dung and recycling nutrients).

I'd always though a pollen horn indicated feeding up in palms etc around the Mediterranean? Where would the pollen horn come from here? Willow? Have people done pollen analysis I wonder?

Shadows of two people on a dewy arable crop. The right hand shadow (of the photographer) has a pale halo around the head.

Noticed that for the first time last year. I don't have an explanation other than light refrating off Dew drops that are directly in line with the sun. Does the contrast of the shadow make it more noticeable?

I give up. Maybe somebody else can explain things to you. It's all there if you care to engage.

Look at the part about Northern Ireland. Flag flying is a big part of sectarianism in Northern Ireland (well amongst the more militant protestants). Marking territory and making 'others' know that they aren't welcome. That's why I find it weird that the word sectarianism is used now and not then.

You don't see it? 40% of the electorate chose Green. That 40% will be diverse, it's the opposite of sectarian. Starmer is using the exact same language as Farage and the right wing press. It's a shit argument. The fact you pull up a dictionary definition is bizarre.

Galloway is a total irrelevance. Starmer is thrashing about blindly. Weird how the word sectarian is used now. Didn't hear it used when flags were cropping up everywhere.

Massive surge of American F-15 jets heads to UK A significant movement of United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles is underway towards the United Kingdom.

Hmmm, pretty sure there have been lots of comings and goings over the last few weeks. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/massive-surg... The language is a bit overblown, but to say that the UK isn't being used as an aircraft carrier (again) is dishonest.

They could always pretend that leaders are hiding there. It works for the West.

Israel is a nuclear armed terrorist state too don't forget.

Farage has come out in support of the war so expect Starmer to follow. There'll be big engineering firms worried they'll be shut out of 'rebuolding' contracts too.

I think Starmer might want an excuse to join though.
