1/4 I'm honoured that The Animal Law Foundation has chosen to feature some of my undercover visuals in their latest report on tail-docking in the UK.

Docking is a brutal procedure in which piglets have their tails chopped off without pain relief.

Many humans have lost the ability to recognise intrinsic value.

Personally, I have come to regard this as a kind of mass psychosis: the inability to distinguish between what is real (trees, oceans, beauty, love, etc.) and what is imagined (money, shareholder value, GDP, etc.).

Most men, when having a mid-life crisis, buy a Porsche. Elon Musk bought an election.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

"Putin is fighting not to conquer Pokrovsk but to destroy Ukraine as a nation. He wants to show Russians that democratic aspirations are hopeless. He wants to prove that a whole host of international laws and norms, including the United Nations Charter and the Geneva conventions, no longer matter"

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.

Last night my partner and I were honoured to be invited to Animal Aid's celebration event at the wonderful Studio Gauthier in Soho.

We were treated to moving speeches from Animal Aid's patrons, Carol Royle and Wendy Turner Webster,

Believing that everyone except you and your sycophants is trapped in an ideological prison is pretty compelling evidence that you’ve become trapped in an ideological prison.

KFC UK & Ireland's flagship welfare promise has been DROPPED.

KFC have ditched their "Better Chicken Commitment" pledge, for which they've been receiving kudos and plaudits since 2019, and off the back of which they've launched five years of marketing campaigns.

We see it so often that I think we can state this as a general rule:

Those who most loudly proclaim their patriotism will, given the time and opportunity, harm their own nations as surely as any foreign adversary.

Sunset on Old Winchester Hill, the original planned site of Winchester, if you like to believe such legends. Which we do.

Fungi are incredible!
On a cold November day not so long ago, we found this extraordinary creature fast asleep on a tree on Beacon Hill. Shhh. Don't wake him. Let him slumber.

Perhaps one of the reasons Bluesky seems so wonderful is that it hasn’t yet been taken over by engagement-baiting corporate avatars trying to game the algorithm so that we buy stuff we don’t need.

It is, largely, just people. A social network that is actually social.

This is my first post on Bluesky, and it’s an important one. I took this photo of a caged and terrified sow for Animal Justice Project, during an investigation into UK factory farms. She is imprisoned and psychologically tortured here simply because we don’t think enough about our food choices.
