Respecting animals doesn’t mean you have to become vegan. It does mean tha we shouldn’t be housing them in massive barns and killing them by the millions.

We lose so much by treating animals like they’re nothing but food for humans.

Thanks for that. :)

… and, in some quarters, speculation that the failure of Russian-built defence systems in Venezuela was not a coincidence, but evidence of high-level co-operation between Moscow and Washington.

I don’t remember hearing about this after Maduro’s kidnapping.

As always, ACAB.

Or even better in '16 when Cunty McCuntface could have been squashed like the cockroach he is.

So yes, China has been accused of neocolonialism by neocolonialists. But it’s not doing neocolonialism in Africa.

Yes it is. That’s exactly what the belt and road initiative is … to bring impoverished nations into the fold by lending them money they’ll never be able to repay.

Western nations should have jumped in, but we didn’t. That still doesn’t excuse China’s manipulative, colonialist behaviour.

Israel has a wide variety of climatic conditions, caused mainly by the country’s diverse topography. There are two distinct seasons: a cool, rainy winter (October–April) and a dry, hot summer (May–September). Along the coast, sea breezes have a moderating influence in summer, and the Mediterranean beaches are popular. Precipitation is light in the south, amounting to about 1 inch (25 mm) per year in the ʿArava Valley south of the Dead Sea, while in the north it is relatively heavy, up to 44 inches (1,120 mm) a year in the Upper Galilee region. In the large cities, along the coastal plain, annual rainfall averages about 20 inches (508 mm) per year. Precipitation occurs on about 60 days during the year, spread over the rainy season. Severe summer water shortages ensue in years when the rains come late or rainfall totals are less than normal.

Starting another conflict because Venezuela and Greenland weren’t enough to keep eyes off the Epstein files.

The only pic I can find disappears when I click on the article (and I’ve used 6 different browsers).

Often easier said than done.

The whole world should be doing it this way simply because if fresh water sources are being used for potable water, it’s likely that same source is being used to to discard the so-called treated sewage water … which is then taken up and distributed as potable water (with disenfectants added).

Thing is if you don’t use the reverse osmosis stage your community is drinking water that is contaminated with every drug (legal and illegal) that people have peed out.

Studies have shown fish in the Great Lakes - which are used both for returned treated sewage and drinking water - are being affected by some of those drugs (especially the ones that affect hormones).

Yeah. We are an arrogant, fucked up species.

Unlike most cities, Sydney only does primary treatment of its sewage – straining out the solids. Elsewhere, secondary treatment uses settlement tanks and disinfection techniques before releasing the wastewater or recycling it.

Singapore, for example, treats its sewage to such a high level that it can be reused in the drinking water system.

Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland

Some European sources are stating the obvious and using honest language. For many Western nations they still seem to be playing with words 'cause they’re scared of the repercussions.

Cunty McCuntface screaming into void.

The only reason Trump is doing this is to deflect everyone’s attention from the Epstein file fiasco. The diversionary war theory is a real thing.

Dad joke extraordinaire.

Def Leppard would sue. ;)
