I will eventually be well enough to get out among the wilds again, to bring you more beautiful birbs.

“We’re cracking down on family reunion”.
Can they even hear themselves?
Have they tried saying it this stuff out loud?
Did they not go “Jesus Christ, I sound like a fucking comic book villain.”

The Government says these reforms are “for councils”, but councils themselves are warning they will cause real harm.
Southwark Council’s leader has said the Government’s new asylum plans are “deeply concerning” — increasing homelessness, traumatising children, and separating families.

Ban it completely in the EU.
The real question this raises is: why are the EU institutions still active on X at all? www.politico.eu/article/x-ax...
X axes European Commission’s ad account after €120M EU fine
Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, accused the EU executive of trying to amplify its own social media post about the fine on X by trying “to take advantage of an exploit in our Ad Composer.”…

Anyway. Gods, imagine picking “Starmer’s government is not merely good but so good you mustn’t criticise it” as your hill to die on. The causes you must have rejected to get there - kittens are bad? Nope, too easy. Shoes are a CIA psyop? Nah, too defensible…

This isn't one animal. It's actually a colony of individual animals called zooids. Each has a specialized role. From the orb-like swimming nectophores to the bright orange stinging tentacles, they're essential to the survival of all.
