‘We may be tempted to claim a “non-political” stance — therapy space as neutral, sacred, untouched. But as has been voiced before: neutrality is not an ethically valid position when fundamental human rights are under attack.’ 1/2 https://t.co/E6IOiNAexI

NEW: Reform UK has received a record single donation of £36m from cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo in what will be seen as the Americanisation of British political funding.

The astonishing sum comes after Andy Burnham last month dropped his support for capping the amount a person or organisation can give in a single donation. The PM may be regretting that now.

Drones have been used to recreate the Twin Towers in the New York City skyline ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

The public art installation, called '2,977 Lights Over New York Harbor' was created with help from victims’ families, survivors and emergency responders.

A total of 2,977 drones were deployed, representing each person killed in the 2001 attacks.

The drones spiralled into a helix before forming the outline and original dimensions of the Twin Towers above the city.

“Science and maths degrees offer most value to the nation, says minister.” In some cases that is true. But don’t you have to think more carefully what “value to the nation”. means. Some value isn’t measured in money

Reminder that the nazi running this website banned Gil Duran from it forever because Gil correctly decribed tech billionaires as fascist. In Gil Duran's new book, he brings all the receipts. Essential reading for our time.

Five members of Just Stop Oil are currently serving 4+ years in prison for discussing, in a Zoom call, blocking roads.

This is hardly any different from 19th century British Lords and generals discussing what to do about Sudan, India, or Africa. Every word is predicated on the assumption that it's a westerner's right to talk like this.

This genuinely needs to be career ending???
He is told a free speech protestor young woman has had their hair pulled and beaten by a crowd of men and he says “oh boohoo” ???

Masked far-right agitators blocked Europe’s busiest port today, trapped locals, and caused miles of gridlock.

Kent Police made zero arrests.

Peaceful climate protesters who did the exact same thing at Dover were fast-tracked straight to prison.

Every single year, the same disgusting scenes at UK festivals.

Thousands of tents abandoned in fields, along with chairs, mattresses, clothes and mountains of plastic.

“I’ll just buy another one.”

That is the attitude we’ve bred. A completely disposable society where people use something once and simply leave it behind for someone else to clean up.

It’s fucking shameful.

I stopped paying my Thames Water Bill months ago.
I have explained to them that I'm really happy to pay for the water element, but not for sewage when they aren't dealing with it safely.
Threatening letters so far

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

This is so unfair! Nepal contributes literally less than 0.1% of global emissions, but they are ranked the 6th most climate-affected place on Earth.

Think about that. The people who did the absolute least to mess up the planet are the ones losing everything to melting glaciers, terrifying flash floods, and landslides.

It’s climate injustice.

👀👀 Holy shit! The earthquake that was thought to have possibly caused the landslide in Nepal, wasn't an earthquake.

It was the landslide that caused the earthquake.

That is colossal!!!!
