Shame, shame on Denmark for extraditing one of the great heroes of the world @CaptPaulWatson to Japan where he could spend the rest of his life in jail for protesting against the killing of great whales.

@JohnJCrace And the smallest number of Tory MPs since 1832!

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

this is just a bad result for the Conservatives, it’s the worst result for the Conservatives in two centuries

@PennyRed Indeed. Surely the story of the night is that the tories are predicted to have fewer seats than at any time since 1832!

Oomh, it's pouring today. Almost precisely two years later, Facebook just lost its appeal of the lawsuit for inflating its metrics to advertisers. There are potentially millions of small businesses and local advertisers impacted here due to fake accounts, SUMA, et al. 1/3

It’s now official 🚨

Yesterday's average Sea Surface Temperature for the Mediterranean Sea reached 28.40°C, the highest in recorded history! This beats the previous record of 28.25ºC set during the European heatwave of August 2003.
