The world is rightly outraged by the illegality of Trump’s invasion of Venezuela.
But an invasion motivated by converting the world’s largest oil reserves into CO₂ emissions is not just a crime against international law - it’s an unconscionable and sadistic assault against our entire planet.

🪐 Saturn’s year lasts 29½ Earth years, during which time its rings appear to open and close twice. For the past 7 years, I’ve gathered my best Saturn image each year to assemble this time-lapse sequence, from fully open (2018) to edge-on (2025). 🔭 📷

This is an absolute disgrace. What the hell is happening to the UK when you can no longer express support for political prisoners as Thunberg did this morning in London.

The media has all but ignored recent events in Gaza and their hellish existence is no longer a concern ( news reports that famine is no longer a threat), those who have survived face hypothermia, dysentery and no end to suffering from the absence of any sustained global intervention. Shameful.
