Suffolk fire.
Now a major incident "due to the size and complexity" of the blaze - area about the size of 140 football pitches.
RSPB says it could take 25 years for the heathland to recover.
No risk to Sizewell apparently.

Deskilling as a phenomenon should be taken seriously. It’s something all of us do. I used to be a cocktail waiter, but now have to google basic recipes.
The worrying aspect is how many are now deskilling while those skills are still actively useful. This is folks opting into skill rental.

Why would they have to be “out of their tiny minds to campaign to rejoin the EU”, Johnson?
Because it would mean holding you to account for all the lies you told and the damage you’ve done? Yes. I think that’s it, isn’t it, you absolute piece of shit.

Happiest of Juneteenths to all those who celebrate (like me).
Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day.
Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together.
Happy Juneteenth.
