*sigh* The Extinction Rebellion ... middle class toss at its finest
by LoveUniHateExams inso, a bunch of eco-geeko middle class people are desperately trying to be au courant, bringing london to a standstill in order to 'save the planet'.. apparently, there's even a crèche, with entertainers entertaining the protesters' well-nourished and pampered offspring.
i guess many of the protesters - sorry, saviours of planet earth - couldn't get a nanny to look after little benedict and olivia.. today is the fourth day in a row this crap has been going on.. hopefully there will be more arrests in the coming hours and days.

Stephen Fry: great speech
by LoveUniHateExams ingreat speech by stephen fry arguing against political correctness.. my favorite line:.
"i believe one of the greatest human failings is to prefer to be right than to be effective, and political correctness is always obsessed with how right it is without thinking of how effective it might be ...".

Weekly Wolf Blog
by LoveUniHateExams injust thought i'd share one of these blogs with you.. they're done by volunteers from the colorado wolf & wildlife center.
it's a non-profit organisation that educates people about wolves.. i wish they'd be part of a breeding program.
they currently aren't - but plan to be in the future.. they have mexican wolves (a rare subspecies) and they plan to have red wolves (also endangered) in the future.. the keepers are trusted by the wolves so that they can hand-feed them in the enclosures and perform health check-ups on conscious wolves.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwcrxkzrydu.. has anyone visited the centre?

'Trumpfacts'
by LoveUniHateExams indonald trump has recently come out with a lot of nonsense - so what's new!
.
while it's good for his ideas to be countered and debunked in a serious manner, thus showing him up for what he is, i also think it's healthy to poke fun at him and his nonsense.. apparently, people have been tweeting so-called 'trumpfacts' in response to trump saying that parts of london are radicalized.. my favourites: "duran duran have become so radicalized they now call themselves koran koran" and "the capital is full of dangerous bearded radicals" beneath a photo of jeremy corbyn.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3352296/the-queen-hijab-duran-duran-koran-koran-camels-streets-islamic-state-london-british-wits-create-trumpfacts-tycoon-s-dangerous-comments-radical-uk.html.. does anyone know any more trumpfacts?

Djokovic beat Federer again ... did anyone see it?
by LoveUniHateExams innovak djokovic beat roger federer to win the us open.
this is his 10th grand slam title and he's only 28. he seems to be a complete player, with great fitness and mental strength.
he has a good chance of equaling or even beating federer's haul of 17 grand slams.. as i don't have a tv license, i didn't see the match but kept up with play via the guardian's sports column.. did anyone see it?

Felids: Nature's Assassins
by LoveUniHateExams inin 1994 i saw the documentary 'cougar: ghost of the rockies'.
i particularly remember the beginning where a cougar weighing perhaps 60kg took out a deer three or four times the cat's weight.
the stalk, final charge and bite to the neck were so clinical.
