A UK judge has ruled that Maya Forstater, head honcho of gender critical lobby group "Sex Matters", is NOT an expert on sex and gender. She joins Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stock, JK Rowling, Rosie Duffield , Joanna Cherry and Sharron Davies as being wholly unfit to pronounce on the trans and non-binary lives of others.

There is overwhelming evidence that Israeli forces under Netanyahu’s leadership have committed massive human rights atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza.

In Russland ist abermals eine prominente Person nach einem Sturz ums Leben gekommen. Wie die staatliche Nachrichtenagentur Tass unter Berufung auf Rettungskräfte berichtet, kam die bekannte Ökonomin Valentina Bondarenko bei einem Sturz aus dem Fenster ihres Apartments in Moskau ums Leben.

“Starmer adopted the same strategy to get elected as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in 1996-7 … In fact he’s sticking to the Conservative fiscal policy which was designed to run down services further and to make further cuts to benefits.”
~Brian Feeney, The Irish News

Linda 6 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Starmer is a puppet. He has been groomed for this job - the real power pulling the strings and writing policy is the Tony Blair Institute and Starmer’s private office is staffed by Blair’s men. He is not a politician, but an ‘elite’ pleaser. His time at the DPP was controversial- throwing staff under a bus and not accepting responsibility being a re-occurring event. When asked to jump by the Gov he asked how high. We’re in for a rocky ride.

Morning. Slept badly due to coughing and I feel like my head is full of cotton wool. Still, another night with no fever, so I think I’m generally on the up. Annoyingly we have to go and pick up a prescription in a different town and take it to yet another town to be filled. I just want to rest but I can’t do without my psych meds. Life, eh? How’s everyone today?

generally on the up sounds good. Annoying about the prescription expedition though.

I’m eating a chocolate hobnob (or two) after prepping the garden wall for painting. I hate prepping (probably why I’m having to paint it again). Would rather be out for a bimble. Sigh.

Früher hatten wir auf der Terasse eine Überdachung. Und um den Bewuchs dieser tummelten sich tausende von diesen Fliegen, die ganz harmlos sind, aber trotzdem eine Warnfarbe am Körper wie Bienen haben. Weiß die Gattung nicht.

Jedenfalls... die Wespen ließen sich von dieser Warnfärbung nicht abhalten und jagten die Fliegen. Man konnte sie beobachten, wie sie die Fliegen im Flug packten, ihnen Kopf, Flügel und Beine abbissen und mit dem Torso heimflogen.

Mal einen Tag nicht auf der Terasse... und es lagen hunderte Fliegenköpfe und Flügel am Tisch und Boden...
Ein grausames und höchst spannendes Massaker.
