@donnyosmond So sorry for your loss. Crazy Horses, which Alan co wrote, had lyrics that were 50 years ahead of it's time. RIP Alan.

Thailand produces approximately 3 billion coconuts per year. The coconuts go into coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut oil. The coconut milk goes into the curry at your local Thai restaurant. Into the vegan dairy-free ice cream. Into the coconut yoghurt that costs three times as much as the regular kind and is photographed on the packaging next to a beach. A portion of Thailand's coconut harvest is picked by monkeys. Not metaphorically. Pig-tailed macaques, caught from the wild or bred in captivity, trained through a process that animal welfare investigators describe as involving prolonged chaining, isolation, and repetition until the animal learns to climb trees and twist coconuts until they fall. The training begins in infancy. It lasts months. The conditions at training facilities have been documented by investigators who found animals chained by the neck, unable to move more than a few feet, rotating on coconuts for hours a day. A trained macaque can pick between 500 and 1,000 coconuts per day. A human picker averages 80. When Waitrose, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and the Co-op were presented with this information in 2020, they removed the implicated brands from their shelves. The implicated brands were not niche. They included Aroy-D and Chaokoh, two of the most widely distributed coconut brands in the world. Aroy-D coconut milk sits in restaurant supply chains across the UK, Europe, and North America. The brands remain on shelves in most of the world. The macaques remain in training. The coconut milk is still plant-based.

@Feargal_Sharkey I have just watched all three episodes. I am angry beyond belief. As a SW Water customer I don't want them to have a single penny more of my money, but it is a monopoly.

@ZaphodBeeb34165 @afneil In 2010, when we left our guide sheepishly asked if we could leave anything. Gave him a bag of t-shirts, toiletries, pens (he loved them) some paperbacks - Andy McNab kind of holiday reads. A guide book of Cuba. It still upsets me how greatful he was for those things.

@DPJHodges @lukey_stanger It was the borough of Lewisham but Blackheath - the dead posh bit. Your wonderful mum did some stuff with the local youth theatre and asked some of us for tea. It was a big lovely house, technically Lewisham - but I think you are trying to talk it down a bit - it was Blackheath.

@FutureTD @Han81 @rickygervais Are you aware how long it takes to arrange gigs, sell tickets etc? Lead time is often over a year, rather presumptuous to leave a gap in his schedule in case he was nominated. He is far to busy raising money for animals and making people laugh to give a toss.

Share this to save his life. If you make him famous, the Iranian regime might not execute him tomorrow. #ErfanSoltani

Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours. He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death.

@BBCr4today Will Cate discuss the sustainability of the massive concrete bunker like second home she's built overlooking the beach in Cornwall - it has been a building site with lorries coming and going for ages. She was not to keen to listen to the local "activists" - who didn't want it !

@Glinner @ChayasClan Big Train was brilliant - there is nothing like it on TV anymore. The "Ralph McTell - Streets of London" sketch is perfection.

This photo from 1930 shows Afghan women working as medical professionals at Kandahar Women’s Hospital. Nearly a century later, in today’s Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, women are banned from studying medicine, working, and attending university.
