  • Urgent calls to prevent the extinction of red squirrels

    Jump

  • Weird. One moment (only this weekend) I'm reading about Pine Marten reintroductions and how that's helping red squirrels reestablish themselves, and what a success that's being. And the next I'm reading about the demise of the ref squirrel and how something needs to be done about it.

  • People in UK spend fewer years in good health than a decade ago, study finds

    Jump

  • Yes agreed. I had effects after COVID first round for a good 18 months. I still sometimes wonder if it's really gone, if I ever truly went back to baseline or just accepted a new slightly different reality. I'm sure others are like me.

  • Why is the air quality so bad in Wales today?

    Jump

  • Wild fires above the Elan Valley. I drove over there on Sunday evening and it was quite spectacular.

  • So expensive, and with us for too brief a time

    Jump

  • I've still got some 😅 stocked up in Aldi as they were selling them off at under half price on the Tuesday after Easter. Tbh I think I'll be sick of them before I've finished them 😯

  • People in UK spend fewer years in good health than a decade ago, study finds

    Jump

  • This really isn't surprising, as more and more we're being discouraged from visiting our GPs. Things I would have gone to see my doctor about 20 years ago I know wouldn't even think about bothering, because it's such a palava to even get an appointment. So I just hope for the best and hope it will pass. Sometimes that might mean something that could have been prevented isn't prevented.

    And then of course there's diet. But let's not lose sight of the state of healthcare.

  • Arson arrest after fire at packed-out LGBT+ club

    Jump

  • Sounds like they have caught him; 50s, male. They're asking people not to speculate, so I won't. But obvious thoughts are in my head.

  • People assume I can't speak Welsh because I'm not white

    Jump

  • That doesn't make a huge amount of difference, especially with young people. One would never assume that a young person from south Wales doesn't speak Welsh. They quite likely do.

  • People assume I can't speak Welsh because I'm not white

    Jump

  • Actress Mali Ann Rees said inclusivity was key to encouraging more people to speak Welsh, with "no excuse" for unconscious bias.

    There's a huge irony here for me. I called out such unconscious bias once, which was actually perpetrated by a black Welsh speaker against an Asian from South Wales. She called me a racist for calling her out! And Reddit being Reddit, she was then upvoted and I down

    I won't forget that. It still intensely annoys me. So thanks Mali for taking my side here.

  • Orbán era is over, as Tisza scores historic victory in Hungary

  • Faisal Islam: Why the government is relaxed about Chinese car imports

    Jump

  • I feel I should be reading something into that picture. Is it code for something? /s

  • Revealed: Deer management cost public purse at least £135m in a decade

    Jump

  • " An estimated 700 people die or are injured each year in the UK due to colliding with the animals" - which is slightly more believable. The summary above is probably AI.

  • The forbidden fourth leche

    Jump

  • I'd be happy with just one leche tbf.

  • A/B

    Jump

  • Congratulations on managing to offend the Iranian, Israeli and USian regimes all at the same time. Best laugh I've had for weeks 😂

  • Scotland allocates £45 million for over 330 zero-emission buses and coaches

    Jump

  • Yes that makes a lot of sense. Make it increasingly difficult not to go green, through the tax system, rather than directly paying them to go green.

  • It's zombie Jesus day!

    Jump

  • Having just returned from playing the piano for the morning Easter service, something tells me I shouldn't be laughing at this.

    But I can't help it 😂

  • Oh god who remembers this terrifying horror film?

    Jump

  • Watership Down.

    Bright Eyes, shining like fire.... Art Garfunkel will now be in your head for the rest of the day 😂

  • NHS staff resist using Palantir software

    Jump

  • On which subject, I (here in Cymru, not part of the Palantir NHS England problem) received a letter in the post this week asking if I wanted to take part in a large survey for the NHS, which would involve giving a blood sample for analysis. The address given was in England, and so I'm guessing it's a joint project with NHS Cymru and England.

    I have to say that I am not intending to reply to the letter because of Palantir; it feels horribly like a data gathering exercise funded by them.

    Does anyone else know about this?

  • Ministers pledge £90m to help save birds, beavers and beetles from extinction

    Jump

  • Beavers? They've only just been reintroduced! Don't tell me they're already in trouble? 😯

  • Scotland allocates £45 million for over 330 zero-emission buses and coaches

    Jump

  • Great. But there's still something fundamentally wrong with public money going to support private companies in this way. I fear this sends the message "don't go green until the government throws you a load of money to incentivise it". By all means, support the infrastructure (and take the income from it for the public purse), but make the shareholders pay for going green. Or just nationalise if they don't want to.
