Obvs only British citizens or UK residents have the right to sign a petition demanding a general election, because only they'd be able to vote in it... @soph-husk.bsky.social dropping truth bombs πŸ“

Truth behind general election petition as identities behind signatures debunked A petition calling for a general election has been signed by people based across a whopping 184 countries, from the British Antarctic Territory to China to the United Arab Emirates

Let's talk about THAT petition.... People have signed it in 184 countries - including in China and the UAE. There was also a big surge after professional troll Elon Musk shared it on his right-wing social media platform, doubling the number of signatories in the following 24 hours

World's saddest dolphin 'talking to himself' due to lack of friends, say experts The bottlenose dolphin, named Delle by locals in the Baltic Sea, has been recorded chatting to himself in the ocean - and experts believe it may be a sign of his loneliness

Strange that talking to yourself is a sign of loneliness. ...or maybe it isn't. I don't know.
Anyway, I must remember to go to Aldi soon. But it's very cold out. I should be okay with a coat. I'll be warm in the car, actually.

Flamingo chick escapes from British zoo sparking mass hunt in race against time A baby flamingo aged around four months has escaped from Paignton Zoo in Devon to "explore the local area" as people living nearby were urged to keep an eye out for the bird

Farming more polluting than all world's cars and planes and 'must be phased out' The agriculture industry accounts for one-third of the world's direct greenhouse gas emissions - with Britain's 1,176 mega farms massively contributing to the pollution

It may not be the most glamorous topic at #COP29 this year, but factory farming is certainly one of the most important. Factory farms contribute more greenhouse gas emissions than the world's planes, trains and cars... combined 😱 www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

I think @bsky.app is broken. I still haven't been forced to see any posts by Elon Musk and I've been here for a few days now. Is that normal for a social media platform?
