Hi folks, never thought I would have reached this point, but I’m finally thinking this is it for Twitter while Musk owns it. In the last few days he’s been whipping up anti immigrant feeling and he is now mocking a people fighting for their lives against a genocidal dictatorship.

Richest man on earth, and the owner of the number one global communication platform, is trying to undermine Ukraine's struggle to survive (which depends on Western military support), effectively campaigning for Russia and Putin.

Not sure if you noticed, but as of yesterday, the UK only had one coal-fired power station remaining

UK coal use is now the lowest it's been since 1757

I know you're all interested in my views on Alien Life, UFO's etc, so I made a little film with @bigthink on the subject. I'm sure the thread below will be an object lesson in careful thought and reasoned debate .... https://t.co/Zsq75Hh1DD

It looks like Elon believes that the Ukrainians are fighting this war to receive the US funds, not to liberate their country (what effectively protects the West and saves American lives btw.)

Borgund Stave Church in Norway was built sometime between 1180 and 1250 AD.

It's part of of a group of medieval churches almost only present in Scandinavia, built with wood only and without using a single nail

5 years ago today, journalist Jamal #Khashoggi walked into the #Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Saudi agents murdered him there and hacked his body to pieces.

In 2021, US intelligence concluded Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself had approved the operation.

The unusual autumn heat goes on!

After record-breaking September warmth across many European countries, October has started in the same vein.

Spain provisionally registered its highest October temperature on record, on Sunday.

Temperatures remain well above normal today

Slovakia 🇸🇰: We will ”not send one bullet to Ukraine.”

EU 🇪🇺: We will ”not send one euro to Slovakia. And you’re still bound to the embargo againt Russia.”

Can’t have it both ways, mates.

Right now Russia is attacking Kharkiv with S-300 missiles from Belgorod. At least four explosions rocked in the city since 9 am. Meanwhile, Russians are proudly sharing videos of the launches.

Wanted to give you a good perspective of the 16 dogs currently being fixed up and how they are split out at the land.

Featuring Cindy Crawford, Derek, Hank the Tank and many more.

All ran into tough times for one reason it another but on the mend 🥰🙏

[Euan MacDonald @Euan_MacDonald]

I don’t think there can be any doubt now that Musk is against democratic Ukraine and for fascist Russia, as he’s using his own account to post Kremlin propaganda now.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.

The traffic got BETTER.

Today, it is with a heavy heart that I have to apologise to self-catering businesses and small accommodation operators across Scotland, and to everyone whose businesses and livelihoods depend on tourism who will feel the effect. @ASSCnews @SaveSCScotland

This was never about health & safety. STLs were a scapegoat for @theSNP led @scotgov failure to combat the housing crisis. Wildly exaggerated figures were used to stir attacks on STLs which make up a vital part of Scotlands £4 billion tourist industry that sustains 200,000 jobs.
