The 'Dire Wolf' thing is another example of bad science by press release. At least it wasn't done during purdah this time.
New series of Black Mirror out today. Time to get my mind bent! 🙂

Scottish Green Co-Leader Lorna Slater urges Keir Starmer to cancel President Trump' state visit:

'Donald Trump is a danger to human rights around the world & a danger to our climate. He represents the worst of politics & the decisions he’s making are having a terrible impact on migrant communities, women’s rights & on the US economy.

He is not a friend of Scotland & is not going to change who he is because the Prime Minister asks him to'!

Again the Greens are on the right page.

Look mate... I don't wanna hear about "deextincting" animals that haven't been around for 10k years when we have so many animals going extinct right now that we could help.

The red wolf (Canis rufus) for example is critically endangered.

Now THAT'S a dire* wolf.

*in dire need of help.

I'm mostly on Bluesky these days, but I thought I'd drop in here. How's everyone doing? What did I miss?

Who wouldn't want a microwave oven you can use on the bus?
