Life expectancy in the US is 4.1 years shorter than in comparable countries. This certainly won’t improve with RFK in charge of public health. 🧪

In many works of fiction they have wizards / magicians incanting something in Latin. I always smile at that as it just seems unrealistic. The Spellmonger series though, those with talent, just think. They mention that thinking a request, and thinking a command is different. That fits much better.
Even the PM might be influenced - his wife is Jewish.
Reform want us to believe they have started to be concerned for wildlife. Oh that’s a good one. 🤣😂 Or are they simply just parroting out the Trump playbook?

'Outrageous and unpatriotic': Labour slams Reform's latest attacks on clean energy investment
Methane can be made via the Sabatier process - involves reacting carbon dioxide with hydrogen (H₂) in the presence of a nickel catalyst at elevated temperatures and pressures to produce methane (CH₄) and water (H₂O). But I doubt air traffic control would put up with that level of disruption.

Xenophobia is on the rise in the UK. The flames are fanned by most of our political parties and our media.
Trump does like controlling armed forces. Is he practicing for when he and his ilk lose power democractically?
Trump says many people think he looks like Elivis. Oh that’s a good one 😂🤣😂
They pretend to be a party of the people but they are just like all other Fascists, they want to make the already rich, richer, and the already poor, poorer.
So is Reform going to be renamed Revoke? 😂🤣😂
I have been added to People Farming lists, I must be very poor at it though as I follow more than follow me. 😂🤣😂
Brexit divorce; govt issued a decree absolute without ever getting a decree nisi. Brexit is illegitimate. Everything has failed since Brexit bc there was no valid decision. What happened in 2016 was not a constitutional choice, but an abdication of responsibility, a decision to let go of control.
Oh that is brilliant, a real gold mine. Thank you so much 👍
Yes you are correct. From Old French and was correctly pronounced how the French pronounced with a silent H until the 19th century in England. I am quite amenable to new words and pronunciation, but duck tape which is becoming established for the correct duct tape - that is a step too far. 😂🤣😂
To be fare Starmer did change his colours. He was pro EU at one stage and gave a speech at the Pro-People’s vote March. Corbyn was off visiting the graves of the Cockles pickers up in Blackpool, presumably thinking a few cockle pickers were more important than the future of a his nation.
Yes the use of the letter Z where we in the UK use S is actually that we here in the UK changed from Z. Also words like pocketbook and attorney is more historical. Dropping H’s is interesting in words like herb. Could that derive from an extension of other silent h’s like Hotel?
What a mixed up world, we now live in, when Russian armour goes into battle flying the stars and strips. These Russians must be seeing the US as an ally.
Russian invasion troops spotted flying US flags at the frontline in Ukraine, in honour of Donald Trump and MAGA after the recent Alaska summit.
Someone in the comments said he was snarling. I can’t claim to be fully proficient in reading deer expressions, but I am seeing anticipation.
Likely people feeding mature adult stags in the rutting season. This one is on the cusp of maturity with only 10 tines, so only a slight risk.
They are programmed to hate the shape of humans, like people hate spiders. But this one is strangely different. There are after all people that like spiders. 😂🤣😂
No not much, in the scheme of things - a few past there best carrots. On the minus side - we should not feed wild animals. On the plus side I got 5k likes which probably means 50k views, and if that chips away at people’s indifference to nature, then that’s a win.
They are disinformation infiltrators, trying to suppress the truth. They need to be banned.
In the UK we have a tax on books in electronic books but none on printed books. Encouraging the denuding of forestation and a complete absurdity.
This is a male in a bachelor group, so probably 4 or 5 years old. When 6 years or so they do get more aggressive in late August / September during the rut but will head off to the herd then. Don’t approach solitary Red deer stags with 12 or more tines on their own or by the herd at this time of year
For does read hinds Red Deer females are called hinds
He is probably 4 or 5 as he is still in his bachelor group. I probably will not see him after this year as he will leave his fellows for a solitary life at the periphery of the herd, being chased off by the main stag, the Imperial / Monarch.
The origin of words is fascinating, something I studied some years back. The English language in the US seems even more eclectic than our version here in England, as it derives from not only it’s origins here, but the influx of immigrant communities from Europe, Africa, and the far East.
They do not accelerate fast when on a brick road. For them it’s like skating. That shot was zoomed at 120mm telephoto, so looked closer than it was. He was not into aggressive mode, I wasn’t approaching him - he was approaching me, slowly.
All good points. Don’t approach stags if you don’t know their rules. Don’t let them get into your comfort zone, which should be 6 - 10 feet or so, due to ticks flees and the unexpected - like someone else startling them. I was in my front garden, so not really intruding on his land.
Difficult to tell mood from this. Nostrils not flared so he is at least not alarmed or angry. The fact that he is full on to me and head up, says he is not threatened and confident. Ears to the front, so no sound behind to worry him. Anyone out there know more about deer than me - chip in…
Savage but some predation does actually strengthen species, over time, as it culls the weak. Where as, artificial culling, by humans, hits the weak and the strong.
They - the current administration in the US - have no respect for us Europeans ( or Canadians for that matter ), that is quite obvious. But (misplaced) respect for Putin and Russia. What goes around comes around.
Ha ha, that’s a new one for me, we say dumb or dumber than a box of rocks.
He is only barely literate as well. So far intellectually underwater as President, that he needs an aqua lung.
Red deer don’t have predators here in the UK as there are no longer any wolves here. That is a problem as they will simply reproduce until there is no food left for them. We have upset the balance of nature.
This is one third of the solar power that Australia generates and Australia only has a population of 28m against nearly 70m in the UK.
I am 71 but have worked in the computing industry for more than 30 years. #AI is perfectly safe until it is weaponised, given a method of self reproduction or connected to the internet. #AI can lie, manipulate, and is never ever to be trusted.
The ones that aren’t skittish probably don’t get to survive. Here they don’t get hunted, and their only danger is getting run over crossing roads. This particular deer has always been casual, around me anyway. I had to back away as he will approach me within my comfort zone. 6 feet or so.
I call him Thorn as he is always after eating any new Hawthorne leaves. This is him last year, he has grown quite a bit.
He has just lost his velvet - the skin that covers their antlers. His antlers have grown much larger this year. He uses his antlers to shake the apple tree which gets him food. Tool for food, tool for protection - he is very proud of them.
They are supposed to be quite clever. They certainly do better at surviving in the wild than I would.
Not really, it was my front garden and he did come to me. It was all very calm, quiet, surreal really.
Down where - pretty flat round here anyway.
It was my front garden, but luck always play a part in everything.
They ate my begonias one year in an overnight raid, and finished off a large clematis. Relations were quite strained for a while after that.
Oh they can get a lot bigger still. This one from last winter is a Royal - 12 tines - they don’t counts sub points. He is not around here anymore - maybe leading the herd this year.
This one is overly casual, with me anyway. He might remember me from 9 months when I also gave him a carrot - I wonder…
Yes but be careful, they are very wary of humans and can flip into being aggressive under certain conditions.
That is very true. Don’t approach deer unless you know what you are doing. Especially males during the rutting season or if they are with their harem.
This is England, in the middle, Staffordshire. Red Deer are not native they were introduced here by the Normans about a 1000 years ago.
They also seem to get really nasty when they are losing the velvet on their antlers.
Yes it is dangerous unless you know what you are doing around deer. Do everything really slow. Don’t approach stags with dogs. Don’t approach them if they are with females. Don’t surprise them. Don’t corner them. Oh and if they lower those antlers at you, that is very bad - time to retreat.
They are so so about carrots, but for some reason during August they go mad for apples. I got woken up at 3:50am the other morning by one of them attacking the apple tree to shake the apples off.
He is a young lad really at 10 tines (antler points) He can grow even larger.
He is still growing, hopefully he will grow up to be a Monarch with 16 or more tines.
