🏠 Empty homes → much-needed homes. We’re starting work to bring 52 long-term vacant properties back into use, beginning in Anfield. They’ll be refurbished to provide quality homes for local residents and help improve neighbourhoods. 🔗 media.liverpoolexpress.co.uk…

Some criticism of this being beneath a PM totally misses the fact that this isn’t just an everyday annoyance, the behaviour of enforcement companies is seen as emblematic of a rigged/exploitative system and is entirely the sort of cause of misery people want a govt to tackle.

As someone who lives in the UK, this is probably the most recognisable piece of media for me regarding the World Trade Centres. We'd always watch this and the movie did a phenomenal job of capturing the magic of those buildings. The whole world changed after 9/11. It's important people don't forget.

It's time for my occasional reminder that balloons don't fly up to grandma up in heaven. They go up about five miles, burst, and fall back down. What lands is a translucent scrap of latex with a ribbon attached, floating on water, stuck on land, looking almost exactly like a jellyfish. Sea turtles, seabirds and fish eat them. Balloons are the deadliest piece of plastic a seabird can ingest, something like 32 times more likely to kill than a hard fragment, because soft latex folds and blocks the gut instead of passing through. The ribbon stays intact for years, and it wraps around necks, wings and flippers long after the balloon itself is gone. The biodegradable balloons don't fix the problem. University of Tasmania researchers buried latex balloons in industrial compost, the fastest breakdown environment that exists, and dug them up 16 weeks later fully intact. Louisiana made intentional releases a finable offense this year. Most of Europe has banned them. If you want to mark something: plant a tree, light a candle, blow bubbles, ring a bell. Whatever you're releasing it for, it isn't going where you want it to go.

Nowhere safe to go The slow loris clings helplessly to a powerline As the forest burns And their future dies Sunda slow lorises are endangered due not only to destruction of their habitat but also to the pet trade—many suffering brutal tooth extraction and short lives of misery. They are nocturnal and arboreal and completely unsuitable as pets. 🎥: Emily Thompson. Kalimantan, Indonesia. x.com/iPopBase/status/209864…
