The Mediterranean dried so completely it became a salt flat.
The Geological Event: The Messinian Salinity CrisisApproximately 6 million years ago, tectonic plate movements blocked the Strait of Gibraltar, sealing the sea from the Atlantic Ocean. Over 600,000 years, the hot climate caused the basin to evaporate, leaving behind a 1-to-2-mile-thick layer of salt .
It refilled around 5.3mya in the Zanclean Flood.
This event occurred during the speciation from Chimps and some regard the event as a driving factor in the conversion of Africa into a savannah (the shift from Arboreal to Bipedal)
Exactly.
Henry Nowak was 18. He was stabbed. He told police he was the victim. He died in handcuffs.
Today his case dominated Prime Minister's Questions. Every party used it to make a political argument. The chamber erupted.
Nobody in that building asked the public what they think should happen to the policing and justice system that failed Henry.
House of The People exists because the public deserves to be part of that conversation.

Nobody consulted the people who will live under whatever policy comes next. The debate about what this case means and what should change is happening entirely among the people whose system produced the outcome in the first place.

@Nettieyettie@North_Lites@geek_gareth I might be mistaken, it depends on whether the blood was inside the lung or in the space between the lung and the chest.
RIP
@Nettieyettie@North_Lites@geek_gareth I think the pathologist was mistaken:
From a forensic perspective, if someone was alive at 1.5 hours after injury with 2.25pints of blood found in the lung, an expert would generally be cautious about claiming that treatment would have been futile before that point.
@clickkillmc@RupertLowe10@oJARDINEo There's a YouTube short up recently from "Boston Legal" (TV series) - it does cover that.

It was aired between 2004-2008 so perspectives may have changed a lot... ...you know, that change.....

New bill in Parliament:
The Lobbying Transparency (In-house Lobbyists) Bill
Proposed by Baroness Hayter, it is a bill to amend the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Act 2014 to include in-house lobbyists.
What do you think?
The
Antisemitic sentiment was fermented by the inviting party. The Normans landed.
Encountered in France the Jewry (relocated to Rouen France by force from the middle east during Roman occupation were befriended and invited to the Islands.
With the "power" of the Normans becoming law the locals refused to work those that had helped those that befouled them.
The Normans then gave permission for Usury until crowd perception realised it was a scam - the practice was previously deemed immoral within Christianity - at which point the guests were thrown under the bud by the same power party that befriended them.
Soon after, the protestant Church of England ruled that Usury was NOT immoral.
Both sets of people were betrayed. Who wrote the laws? Was Coin Clipping really happening when debts were life changing? Is an identity sufficient to declare all within the identity as righteous?
It wasn't then, the Jewry were also kicked out of Spain and France to consolidate catholic political power. That's the method through which Ashkenazi migration secured genealogy. The route through Europe (and vouch by Rabbi's if such information is scant)
It might be a matter of faith, but it is merely occupying our allocation of periodic table elements whilst we enjoy time. We're all related anyway. Conveyancing can limit the perspective back three generations paternally, and some sound bite can refer to descent from Charlemagne.
One of the Beth Din mediations was social exclusion of a Jew by the community (parish/exile)
The point is, the people meddling with perception back then were the "hosts" not the "natives"
@NealeySquealy@avygal This doesn't create further division or hatred, it describes the conduct of the communal officers that had social standards above protocol. Arbiters of truth despite their role being to prepare a PDF for the crown prosecution service.
Yesterday Parliament passed the second reading of the Health Bill, the legislation that will abolish NHS England and reshape how your healthcare is governed for years to come.
This morning Parliament opened a call for written evidence from the public on the bill.
You have a narrow window to submit written comments to a committee that may or may not act on them, before a deadline set by the same people who wrote the bill in the first place.
This is the extent of your formal say in one of the most significant pieces of NHS legislation in a decade.
We built House of The People so that every person in this country has a direct vote on the laws being passed in their name, not just once in a narrow window but every time Parliament votes.

🚨JUST IN: Far left activist group "Stand Up to Racism" disrupted a vigil for murdered student Henry Nowak.
They proudly boast on social media that they screamed "fascist" at mourners as they laid flowers and attempted to hold a 3 minute silence in Southampton.
The face of pure evil. They are not conscious. They do not possess emotions like a well-adjusted human being. They don't belong in our society, and one day they won't be.
@ret_ward@TiceRichard Also, lower winds than previous.
That means that global stilling is facilitating temperature increases.
Which in turn means that denser stratospheric aerosol injections will compound the problem not mitigate it
Key Trends from Official Reports
UK annual mean wind speed (1969–2024): Shows a clear downward trend. This aligns with the global phenomenon known as "global stilling."5ad7fc
2024: Slightly below the 1991–2020 average, though the highest since 2020.f2b0af
2025: Further below average (around 8.1 knots annually, 0.6 knots below the 20-year mean)
The laschamps excursion (somewhere between 41k-42k years ago lasted ~300 years where UV was around 15% higher at ground level. It would have been a similar story in China.
This in turn would create different outcomes for sun-cured meat.
In the one hand it would be antimicrobial, on the other the meat would become rancid with vitamin breakdown reaching as high as 50% less. (Needing twice as much, a doom loop).
