Can we stop calling them "prediction markets" and call them what they are, which is betting/gambling platforms? My teeth itch every time someone says they're "trading" on one of those things. Betting. What you're doing is called betting or gambling, Kevin.

One of our own! Ballon D'or WINNER!!!! Sir Harry Kane

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

In case facts still matter

The big picture

Some more rainbow magic. Photo taken yesterday in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor. The little blobs are raindrops, it wasn't easy keeping the rain off my lens 😂Despite a coat I was absolutely drenched as the rain and wind were a bit intense.

Storm brewing on Glastonbury Tor with a little bit of rainbow magic at sunrise today.

Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine at the table.

Since when do we have a mutual defence pact with Saudi. Or, I dunno, maybe 'security assurances'. You know, the type of agreement that says you'll help defend a country if they get attacked - LIKE WE HAD WITH UKRAINE THROUGH THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM. IOW WTFH!!!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fascist Russia killed a child in a stroller today, after the US hobbled Ukraine’s jet drone interceptors by throttling back the speed of Starlink. Meanwhile, Trump says…

Spooky vibes on Glastonbury Tor.

If shootings were occuring with as much frequency at golf clubs as they are schools I bet your bottom wallet moth that there would be gun reform.

Sunday Sunrise here in Glastonbury. It was very busy up there again today and also very windy and cold!

The NHS Guidance on trans people in hospital will protect zero women but will badly harm trans people. What a hateful disgrace and will be remembered by future generations as a stain on us all.

Stormy start to the day here in Glastonbury with some fire in the sky to add a bit of drama.

I had an early morning walk up Glastonbury Tor today. Dawn was starting to creep in but still plenty of stars around.

Wishing you and yours an absolutely amazing Indigenous People’s Day. 🪶✊🏾✨

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Let rivers be wild 🌊 Rivers should have space to wind, wander and flow naturally. By #restoring habitats, and bringing back natural ecosystem engineers like beavers, we can help more life thrive. This #WorldRiversDay, let’s give our rivers the freedom to flourish. 💦

A colourful end to the day here in Glastonbury. It was worth the walk I think. Now it is time for a glass of wine 🍷

The Rhine is in uncharted territory. Normal flow where it enters the Netherlands is around 1,500 m³/s in September. Now it's well below 600 m³/s... and still going down.

Train stations are often undervalued & underused community assets. Love to see them being used in this way. “We have noticed incredible amounts of wildlife, bees particularly. Honeybees, solitary bees, butterflies. That has changed a lot, we have seen the return of hedgehogs, we have slowworms.”

Restoring balance on Autumn Equinox. Images taken this morning here in Glastonbury. Happy Equinox to everyone. #autumn#autumnequinox#mabon

With solar roofs on large car parks, #France generates as much electricity as 10 nuclear power stations, whilst at the same time protecting cars from the scorching heat #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #ClimateActionNow

​He does this every time. Maybe he's trying to wish it into reality. But the truth is, Russia chose to invade Ukraine four and a half years ago. Every day since then, they have chosen to continue it. The day they choose otherwise is the day the war will end.

When Nigel Farage said Durham would show the country how a Reform government would look. He was right. An absolute shambles.

Anyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

If Russia stops fighting, Russian aggression and genocide of Ukrainians ends. If Ukrainians stop fighting, Russian extermination of Ukrainians and the destruction of the Ukrainian nation will be realized.

Take a seat and admire the view. This morning was just incredible here in Glastonbury. Intense colour that started well before sunrise. I took quite a few so will post more later. When I see intense colour like this, I tend to rush around & panic that I can't be in ten different places all at once 😂

Avalon Dawn. Another colourful sunrise photo from this morning's beautiful morning on Glastonbury Tor.

It was a beautiful start to the week in Glastonbury. Photo taken at sunrise from St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.

📌 ICYMI: Lest we forget — the key roles of James Orr, Nathan Cofnas, Toby Young and the Free Speech Union in the persecution of Jason Arday One of this month’s most-read stories.

After James Orr was filmed by undercover reporters, Cambridge University has told the Guardian that it "is looking into these matters". What about the other extensive concerns raised about Orr, Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, by Byline Times?

Question to the Pro’s on #Naftogaz vs #Russia: Why can’t we use a similar approach and allow #Ukraine to sue Russia for war damages and seize the frozen assets in #Belgium? @umland.eurosky.social @nicolange.bsky.social @nicolastenzer.bsky.social @hofreiter.bsky.social @kajakallas.bsky.social

A real test now of the media's appetite for Cambridge professors and their ethics.

James Orr who features in the report by Channel 4 News on Reform's political donations has been the subject of another investigation 👇 by @bylinetimes.bsky.social

The stairs to Avalon. Taken at sunrise on Glastonbury Tor (yesterday's photo but forgot to post it).

Oligarchs need to be taxed back to humility.

'Celestial Crown' This morning's image from Glastonbury Tor. A sunrise that kept on giving and eventually produced these amazing rays above St Michael's tower.

🎉 A historic win in Dover! We have gained Guston, Kingsdown & St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe from the Conservatives, beating Reform in second place. The Greens can take the fight to Reform and win! 💚
