Experts say most of the centres, notorious for their romance scams and "pig butchering" investment cons, are run by Chinese-led crime syndicates working with Myanmar militias in the lawless badlands of the Golden Triangle. In full: buff.ly/ePo3e5u

I've been gathering life for a few months now. Here's my first poem for a long time. #poetry

Impressions of Istanbul

Rain drips on the marble threshold, and laughing doves ripple the air.

Muezzins interrupt the coffee-shop chatter, regulating even us infidels before the dogs' rebuke. Their howls and yips persist long after the call to prayer ends with an electronic beep.

Strong coffee grounds my butterflies while beneath our catamaran, the Marmara Sea flashes like crystal in an Istanbul palace.

We will return, but for now the green hills of the Bosphorus are replaced by the scorched Dardenelles and Turkiye has just begun.

Will this satisfy the crofters and farmers? There were no lamb or Shetland foal bones in the nests. No evidence at all that the sea eagles have taken livestock. Amazing how humans think they have the right to demand the removal of a species. news.stv.tv/highlands-is...

No evidence of farmer's missing Shetland ponies found in eagle nests

Five Shetland pony foals disappeared from a farm in South Uist between May and June, with the owner raising concerns that the birds of prey could be responsible.

Obviously rabies vaccines don't cause doggy autism, but also, and I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: dogs are already pretty autistic Like oh no will my dog hyperfixate on a toy? Will he become upset when his routine is disrupted? What if he gets agitated by loud noises or crowds?!

As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs -- and their owners -- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sanple of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism

So crofters, who offer pony interaction as a tourist attraction, are calling for a cull of sea eagles if they are proven to be the culprits. Which is the biggest tourist draw? Sea eagles or ponies?

Farmers hope an investigation by wildlife agency NatureScot will tell them if sea eagles are behind the disappearance of five Shetland pony foals…

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Yes, I hold strong opinions & call things out. Not out of bitterness. I criticise practices, not people. I reject complicity. What I will always do is amplify individuals with care, craft, & conscience. That’s the line I walk & I walk it on purpose. We need better. I believe we can build it.

Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, claims that #PalestineAction "wishes harm on the British people." That is simply false. It is yet another retrospective justification by this government for its unjustifiable ban on the group.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Tom Lehrer, who, in addition to being “the most brilliant song satirist ever recorded," was a member of our mathematics faculty for 29 years. His classes were cherished, and, of course, often musical. He will be missed deeply. bit.ly/45eABt9

Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97

A mathematician by training, he acquired a devoted following with songs that set sardonic lyrics to music that was often maddeningly cheerful.

The concept of universal support has the serious potential to help the disadvantaged & improve population wellbeing. Examples:universal free childcare, universal free school meals, universal basic income. They should be researched as serious public health interventions to reduce health inequalities.
