This is important, as it validates what has been long suspected but rarely proven with hard facts: media monopolies are being used shape and change political sentiment to suit their owners’ and paymasters’ objectives.

Forced to share pins, left open to fraud! 1 in 5 with mental health conditions risk financial abuse by sharing pins as banks don't offer carers cards, 3rd party notifications or controls. We want to change that. Full info www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/10...

I understand the sentiment, and I assume this is a bit, but just in case, you really don’t want to take too much Tylenol, it will kill your liver in a hurry. Sorry for being literal, but I’ve got this dumb thing I do, I care about people, it gets me into trouble all the damn time

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Beavers - ecological engineering masters... Researchers found that the level of phosphates halved as it passed through (flowing much more slowly as a result of the beaver dams), while for nitrates the drop was 42%.

Could beavers really rescue Norfolk’s threatened chalk streams?
Norfolk’s river Glaven is one of our rare chalk streams, and the site of an interesting experiment in environmental restoration.

Scorched earth, charred gorse and dead trees: some of the impacts of recent moorland burning (‘swaling’) on Dartmoor. This is on Spitchwick Commons near Poundsgate. It’s legal but ecologically crackers: the gorse is a nursery for trees that eventually shade out the scrub, but now the trees are dead.
