Here are some Easter eggs from the 1980's with no mention of Easter on the packaging. My personal favourite was the Lion Bar one. Can we all move on from this now please?

The husband isn’t on here anymore. He’s over on BlueSky.
But if you could retweet this I’d be most grateful.
His business has been badly affected by AI and he’s looking for writing work.

Palantir - a company which has supported ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - should be nowhere near this country, let alone our NHS.
Kick Palantir out.

BREAKING!: Huge news: The Government has quietly published [link below] on its website, without any fanfare, the Joint Intelligence Committee / Defra report on
'GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY LOSS, ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY'
that it suppressed last October. It has presumably done this at this point (in the middle of an international crisis) to try to bury the story. <DON'T LET IT BE BURIED> ...this is a huge story. Just consider the report's title, for starters... the report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that require serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration-pressure: "as development gains begin to reverse", a phrase that should make any human shudder in anguish. There is much more... But it doesn't end there: what they have published very much appears to be >only part of a larger piece of work<: there is no detail at all in what they have published on the geo-regional analyses; the connections from those regional analyses to the national security threats consequently facing Britain are not detailed; the "Key Judgements" of the report are not properly explained. It is fairly obvious what has happened here: in response to FOIs, they are trying to slip this report out, presumably because they feared it would otherwise get out anyway; but they have done so in a form that holds back much of the most disturbing content - the content that WE as citizens need to know if we are to know how to protect ourselves, what we are potentially going to have to adapt TO.
We must continue to press for the full report to be released...
But in the meantime there is much here to digest and reflect on, to put it mildly. Kudos to those who commissioned the report; do READ this version of it (it's only short!), and let's take it from there... Kudos too to those who pursued an (at least partly) successful battle to get the report released, via Freedom of Information requests...
>>Please share widely!

If your brain’s super tired & you’re struggling but you have stuff to do so don’t have the option to hibernate then hi, me too. This photo’s for your brain-if you pause on it for a few moments it’s likely to dial down stress hormone & trigger dopamine release:a small mind hack 🐚

That time of year - this kind of thing is everywhere. So probably worth reposting this one.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Water companies say they're putting billions in"
Feargal Sharkey, "They took £84 billion in dividends and created £74 billion of debt.. We've been cheated"
"There is no pollution control in this country anyone, the companies are out of control"
"These companies are treating their customers and the environment with contempt"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Renationalisation is hugely expensive"
Feargal Sharkey, "It's not.. Thames Water is fundamentally bankrupt, the government should force them into special administration and renationalise it"
"We need to remove the profitability element from these companies"
