A wildlife photographer joked that his wife managed to capture an extraordinary photo that outdid him: a European eagle owl, one of the world's largest, perched on his camera lens.

When are Labour finally going to
repeal the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 that outlawed acid house raves. The rave that led to this was Castlemorton and Kier Starmer defended the organisers in Court, one of whom is now Guido Fawkes: share.google/6Y5KOG51soRQ...

It started as a free festival but Castlemorton Common became the UK's biggest ever illegal rave.

You have can't have crisis communications protocols that require supervisor approval out-of-hours if a supervisor isn't on duty. This has to be delegated to trusted individuals who can react quickly and get the messages out to alert people and save lives.

Q: There are reports where a fire dept commander asked a Kerr County sheriff dispatcher for a code red to be issued but they said they couldn't without a supervisor approving it. Almost 6 hours passes. How do you account for that lapse of time?

Whenever we are in Houston we head over to New Braunfels to float the Guadalupe River, in o-rings with beers. We were on it six weeks ago and some of the levels were so low I would beach and have to push myself off. I can't imagine it as this raging torrent.

Who Are The Victims In The Central Texas Floods?

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

It wasn't meant out of concern, it was in jest. As in a you-reap-what-you-sow kind of way.

Everything stops when this magnificent Elk struts around this town in Colorado.

What I will never understand is how anybody could kill this magnificent animal just to display its rack on his or her wall.

And not any GP appointment either. I got an immediate one. Was told there was one now, if I came straight down. I suppose most patients that they normally treat are in bed with flu.

Simon Palmer @simonjohnpalmer.bsky.social · Jan 15

You'll never guess what I just got? I can't believe it. It just doesn't happen anymore. I feel honoured. Like I've won the lottery. I...just...go...a GP appointment! *faints*

Not to the many people who deserve them they don't. And it is important we don't let that happen.

These days it is mostly about rewarding those that do good for society, and philanthropy, in order to encourage others to do the same. Though it does get abused by politicians who reward the wrong people.
