@OJoelsen Trump's threats to annex democratic countries even though their citizens do not vote for this move show that he has mentally abandoned democracy and thus severed his government from the Constitution. No American owes his government loyalty if he invades. https://t.co/uXBw7ZHE0I

Social housing landlords in Britain will soon be subject to Awaab's law, obliging them to address mould and dampness in rental housing. Law named after a 2-year-old who died after extensive indoor mould exposure. https://t.co/EgR6Jznl80

Despite outcry over a British toddler’s death, mould remains a problem in many homes - so are new law changes enough?

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. This shows what creatives organising en masse against

Some talk of late that requirements for Lawyer’s Wigs may be eased. Not sure whether this will mean we will only refer to these as Shaggy Inkcap or Coprinus comatus in future. (Found these just down out High Weald lane this morning.) #fungi

Today’s mission accomplished! Devil’s fingers! A few phone pics here - thought I’d be lucky to see one or two but there must have been around 50! All at various stages too which was very cool to see #fungi #autumn #MushroomMonday

CNN’s CEO Mark Thompson reportedly told staff to ease off on coverage of Trump demolishing the east wing for his ballroom after visiting the White House. Another outlet obeying in advance. Off the cliff we go. 😕 🇺🇸 https://t.co/I7XXhyjBxX

Can’t stop thinking about Trump building a $300 million ballroom to host black tie dinner parties with fat cats, but refusing to spend $5 billion in emergency funds he’s legally obligated to use to prevent 40 million Americans from starving. Dickens couldn’t make this shit up.

Happy Sunday! A cold walk yesterday gave me the chance to see this cute little Dunnock out in the open. Usually I see them rummaging around on the floor! 🤎🤎

Some birds not only have the ability to fly but also the ability to magically hover in place.
