Probably the most inaccessible emergency pull cord I've ever seen. I couldn't reach it at all standing and I'm 5ft tall, never mind a wheelchair user or someone who has fallen or can't rise from the toilet.
What is even the point?

2 short videos of some of our juvenile #Starlings this afternoon. One through the kitchen window before I accidently scared them off and the other through the narrow gap of the bathroom window so they couldn't be scared by seeing me.

2026 first garden starling fledgling appeared May 7th. Usually a few end up picked off by sparrowhawk and sadly some by local cats. So far we have had 2 fledgling kills but unexpectedly, one by a crow and the other by a magpie!! When did corvidd become the apex predators? 😮

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

Today, a man ran through Golders Green, a Jewish neighborhood in London, stabbing Jews outside a synagogue in broad daylight.

The UK PM called it "utterly appalling."

Here's what's actually appalling:

For two years, Western streets have hosted marches calling for the elimination of Israel. Universities have celebrated it. Politicians have legitimized it. The media has normalized it.

You don't get to spend two years mainstreaming the idea that Jews and their state have no right to exist and then act shocked when someone takes the message literally.

Words have consequences. "From the river to the sea" isn't poetry. "Globalize the intifada" isn't a metaphor.

When you spend years telling the world that Jewish presence in the Middle East or in Golders Green is a problem to be solved, don't be surprised when someone shows up with a knife to solve it.

The ideology and the blade are the same weapon. One just has a longer handle.

Who is responsible for the upkeep of #TitfordPools? Really sad to see it getting slowly worse. Today, at least 5 or 6 shopping trolleys dumped in and out the water, plus fly tipping, one large and many small. Plus general littering much worse of late. So sad 😞

This is an absolute scandal.

Serbian football team Crvena Zvezda has been fined €95,500 after fans choreographed a motif of Jesus Christ!

UEFA fined them for "displaying a message not fit for a sporting event and bringing the reputation of football and UEFA itself into disrepute".

The image was a traditional Orthodox tifo of Jesus Christ or Saint Simeone the Myrrh-flowing, while the text underneath read:

“May our faith lead you to victory".

UEFA has stopped games for Ramadan and openly promoted BLM and LGBT campaigns during tournaments.

But Christianity is ‘inappropriate’?!
What an utter disgrace.

@CarlBovisNature Hi Carl, It's been a while since I've seen your stuff on my feed and good to see it again. I also get Great Spotted Woodpecker in my garden occasionally. I'm in an urban area, nr Birmingham but close to a small nature reserve at a canal basin and think they come from there.

I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk

Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it.

I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time.

Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics.

Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again.

The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not.

Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay.

What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest.

Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me.

I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief.

At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled.

With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful.

I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.
