HOLY HELL! Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8 million loan to a foreign creditor while running for president in 2016 and after assuming office in 2017. The company has ties to North Korea!! LOCK HIM UP!

Seven months ago I got a tip about a possible war crime.
A body had laid in the streets of a small village called Nova Basan - for a month.
So we started digging.
Today on Up First Sunday, the first part: NPR Investigates a Single War Crime in Ukraine

Shame on all of these #media outlets with misleading headlines about #iran.
1) the morality police hasn’t been “disbanded” or “shut down”. A single official (prosecutor general) vaguely suggested “pausing” or suspending it for a bit
2) This is a play for international community to ease up pressure on the Iranian government. It’s a smokescreen.
Aljazeera seems to get it more accurately: https://apple.news/A4Qkjii46Se-CrZeZ2M1uzQ

For #SilentSunday, a wonderfully plump #greyseal pup suckling from her mother.
Spotted this pair back in September on my local grey seal pupping beach in #Pembrokeshire - the beach that features in many of the chapters of my #newbook, 'Where the Seals Sing'.
When you see long lines at a polling place, remember that it is a policy choice, not an inherent condition.

They are really going to blame everything on a “lockdown” that actually didn’t really happen.

There is no place in US politics for legislators who openly support the ideas of a man who attempted to exterminate the Jewish race.
The cancer that permeates the Republican Party, is a direct threat to a free and inclusive society. Open discussion about ‘white replacement’, the trafficking of vulnerable asylum seekers, for political gain. The pious offering of prayer, as our children are slaughtered in the killing fields of our classrooms.
There is something rotten at the heart of the GOP
I've seen a few folks join Mastodon and complain that it's too difficult to follow people on other servers, with the cutting and pasting and whatnot. But @bramus has now created a neat Chrome extension (or bookmarklet, if you prefer to go that route) that let's you avoid all that hassle.
I just tested it out... by following @bramus with it!

I cannot stand the palate-cloyingly sugary shit with which they fill mince pies these days so I have started making my own mincemeat to a recipe used by Auguste Escoffier; chef de cuisine at the Savoy at the turn of the 19th/20th century. His recipe contains no added sugar at all, but a fair bit of alcohol as indeed it should (to preserve it).
If anyone is interested, the recipe can be found here:

I'm using a version of #ungrading where students meet with me to tell me what grade they deserve and why. I reserve the right to override this, but usually don't have to.
Many of them are quite nervous about this. It strikes me that this is good practice for asking for promotions and raises.

My mum is 690 years old, & when asked if she wanted to get vaccinated because it dramatically decreases the likelihood of hospitalisation & death, she said "I was on the Titanic when it sunk, worked at Chernobyl when it caught fire, & lived through the bubonic plague!" So proud.

I'm not being alarmist. I'm telling the truth. It is a daily nightmare trying to find an available hospital bed for kids in London right now. This is what govt negligence looks like.

This is what happened to home insulation installation rates in 2013 after David Cameron promised to 'roll back the green charges' on energy. The charges had funded insulation schemes. Click here for a 3 min explainer on what's happened since. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-63816641
