A poignant reminder of why vaccinations are important. Once a child survived infancy, even in rural England, infectious diseases were overwhelmingly the leading cause of death. Dore Abbey gravestones from start of 19th-20th century.

Spotted this on the wall on magnificent Dore Abbey in Herefordshire. A magnificent church with 13th & 17th century components. I had to do a double take as I honestly thought it looked like a cartoon character in an abaya of nun’s habit - what do you see at first glance?!

The site had operated as a school for nearly ten years, was on Google Maps, and had its own website. A UN report said the failures "went beyond negligence" and may constitute war crimes. The Pentagon investigation has been complete for months but hasn’t been released.

Eclampsia is deadly. The ONLY treatment is terminating the pregnancy/delivering the baby. Tierra Walker developed eclampsia before her fetus was viable … so she was left to die (and the fetus died too). Why? Because of the Texas abortion ban. This should be considered murder.

A senior US service member told ABC damage to Middle East bases from Iranian attacks could take “decades” to repair. The destruction was far greater than the public was aware of, with some facilities “irreparably damaged” and rebuilding requiring years of construction rather than a quick repair.

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.
