So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.
Ya decía yo que me sonaba el nombre!
What is maybe most astonishing about these charts is that 2023 and 2024 were hard-to-believe record-setting years.
I’m old enough to remember when there was no point for the Global North to do anything about climate change because ‘coal in China’
That's XKCD
Si ese es el caso, como diría mi abuela, no tienen seso ninguno de los tres 😂
A mí lo que me parece forzado es tumbarse en una cama de hospital que no necesitas para hacerte una foto de familia.
La cama de un hospital tiene una función muy clara: que el paciente repose. Generalmente porque no se puede poner de pie, en este caso la asociación con el trabajo de parto y postparto es clara. El padre se está colocando en ese escenario reemplazando a la madre en esa foto. A mí me chirría mucho.
I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.
My hollyhocks are finally blooming! They are now easily over 2 m tall, and I thought I was going to be engulfed by them on one of these days, but it seems that those growths are not more leaves but flowers! And they are black 😳
🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.
I am fascinated by how pretty the flowers of the catmint are. Our plant in our garden is in full bloom and the cuttings I took because they were invading the pathway are happily blooming in a vase and growing roots.

Porque además el notario te informa de todos los impuestos que tienes que pagar.
Me juego un brazo a que sí lo sabe pero se la jugaron a que el impuesto prescribiera. Si hacienda se ha presentado en su casa es porque es heredera, por tanto se ha hecho declaración de herederos en notario. O puede q pusiesen valores muy x debajo de mercado y hacienda ha venido con las rebajas.
Gracias, veré qué encuentro.
Two identical shirt designs but one is magenta and one is orange. It says biology is bigger than binaries and it has a clownfish and a bee and a lily
It's the LAST WEEKDAY that I'll post about the Bigger Than Binaries shirt! I'm sending the order to the printer first thing Monday.
SO! I humbly request that you buy a shirt and/or repost this so everybody sees them 😘

El razonamiento de fondo lo entiendo, pero esta medida dificulta el retorno de emigrados. Sabes si hay algun correo donde se puedan enviar comentarios antes de que se tramite?
Ese que no habla de extranjeros en ningún momento:
Art 4. Creación del Impuesto Complementario Estatal sobre la Transmisión de Bienes Inmuebles a no Residentes en la Unión Europea.
[...]Son sujetos pasivos [...] las personas físicas y
entidades no residentes en la Unión Europea [...]
Sorry, quite late to this post, but is that Edexcel? We have it in Biology too and it gets on my nerves. Marks for working are only if they don't get the right answer to credit some correct thinking. I have explicitly asked my HoD to change rules internally and ask for working for full marks.
@noegguerrero.bsky.social Hola! Preguntilla: Cómo de familiarizada estás con la prop. de ley xa impulsar alquiler asequible? Veo el art.4 que afecta a residentes fuera de la UE q penaliza con un ITP adicional del 100% al comprar vivienda. Esto incluye españoles emigrados? Q pasa si quieren retornar?
Esto último del retorno a la media del riesgo de trombosis me interesa, tienes algún link donde pueda leer más? Bueno, y del resto de efectos secundarios beneficiosos, pues también son bienvenidos. Entiendo que decir "píldora" es extensible al resto de anticonceptivos hormonales? Mirena, anillo, etc
Sue's guidance has always been very useful for me. Her books and webinars are very informative and full of practical examples. I might join her again this year for a refresher!
Did I share these gorgeous pictures of the landscape between Rye and Hastings? I cant get enough of them ❤️ #hiking
They look fantastic! I'm so envious, I could not have them as they are poisonous to cats (all allium family, apparently) so I wouldn't want to risk it (more than I have to as I have invasive three cornered leek that I can't get rid of)...

I did consider making a speech about tackling poverty, taxing the rich, nationalising utilities and properly funding the NHS and social care, but then I thought... nah, just go full Enoch Powell.
People across Europe, please sign and share all over the place, to ban conversion therapies in the EU. Deadline is on 17th May, and we need a million signatures, regardless of the country. Let´s banish this atrocity forever.https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
Si no es la misma, es idéntica. Lo que se aprecia diferente son las gafas colgando del cuello.
No amount of ‘tightening up’ of immigration rules will satisfy the ‘Reform curious’, unless you’re going to deport all black and brown people. Remember, they’re not properly English, as all those articles in the Telegraph, Spectator etc told us.
Stop appeasing.
Challenge.
