RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

There is an image of a person looking at the camera. The black and white text reads: Black history month 2025 spotlight, cat burns.

Cat Burns’ career trajectory has gone from strength to strength in the past 18 months.

From becoming the biggest-selling British female artist of 2022, she’s received several further accolades including three BRIT Award nominations (‘Song of The Year’, ‘Best Pop/R&B’ and Rising Star), BBC Sound Poll 2023 shortlist induction, becoming Spotify’s Global RADAR artist and recently received a nomination for the ‘Rising Star Award’ at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards.

Her viral smash ‘go’, now 2x platinum, peaked at #2 on the Official Singles Chart and remained in the Top 10 for 17 weeks. Burns chronicled her experience with coming out to her family in her song "Free”.

Brandi Kruse at today's "antifa violence roundtable" at the White House: "This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement System"

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 10h

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 12h

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Anyone else get 'closeted' vibes from Johnson ? I genuinely don't care about anyone's sexuality (unless you are a paedophile) but so many of these right wing men seem like they are hiding something.

It is almost 3 yrs since a lovely volunteer at the Centre (a retired chef) gave me one of his chef's knives to use at home. I bought a £6 sharpener and the knife, which I use every day, remains as sharp as they day it was purchased. The knife has been a fabulous gift.

King Lucy has received a gift of some Canadian cat treats. He actually drools when he is eating them. Not very King-like behaviour. He really needs to pull his socks up. Bad table manners won't sit well with his fellow elitist Tories.......🐈‍⬛

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.
