It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

"Dear Diary, There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

Ahh, bless. Imagine being proud of making something ‘toxic’. That’s quite an aspirational achievement. Especially when your alternative is, well, actually toxic.

I do love a bit of bird tracking. This is ace. Migration is an endlessly fascinating topic, and it seems the more answers we get, the more questions are raised.

Spider Man understood the assignment. Nazi Jake Lang showed up outside Minneapolis City Hall for a racist rally, standing in the back of a truck holding a sign with the N-word on it. Then Spider-Man climbed onto the truck, grabbed the sign and punched the fucking Nazi. Antifa Spidey 🕸️

I seem to recall the term being used by Pete Marsh at Heysham Harbour to describe (mainly?) off-passage seabirds that were just kind of hanging around offshore; not actively migrating…
