I’ve posted this multiple times before, but I’m going to say it again as my mind is still blasted from knowing this:
- Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff took a “career break” in the 1980s to run a pub in South Armagh (which to the unfamiliar was an area of, shall we say, “active community involvement” in the fight for Irish freedom)
- Keir Starmer defended Berlusconi as part of his legal team during his appeal at the European Court of Human Rights
- Keir Starmer was part of the legal team that got the murder conviction of Sergeant Lee Clegg quashed
- Keir Starmer played with the Parachute Regiment in an 11-a-side football “grudge” match against the Royal Military Police
- Keir Starmer decided as Director of Public Prosecutions that an MI5 agent should not face torture charges for participating in interrogation at Guantanamo Bay. Starmer then attended the leaving party of the head of MI5 a year later
- Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions when the Criminal Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute Jimmy Savile in 2009
- Keir Starmer is advised by Peter Mandelson, who according to an internal report by JP Morgan had “a particularly close relationship” with Jeffrey Epstein
- Keir Starmer served on the Trilateral Commission
- Keir Starmer secretly assembled a leadership campaign team days after Mike Pompeo’s private comments were “leaked” to the press wherein Pompeo pledged to “do [his] level best” to prevent a Corbyn premiership
- Keir Starmer’s campaign instructed its candidate running against Nigel Farage to leave the constituency, banned from printing leaflets, blocked from using campaigning software and had access to the campaign’s social media overridden. This happened after the candidate started being a threat to Farage. Farage’s party’s vote share drove Labour’s victory, in a reversal of what happened in 2019.
But reassured, Keith is a normal, regular guy who doesn’t work after 6pm on a Friday.
Starmer accuses Sunak of 'Jeremy Corbyn-style' manifesto
Absolutely fucking rent free in Keith’s head. The Corbyn manifestos were fully costed and Keith der Sturmer stood on them as a member of the shadow cabinet.
Can’t wait for the look on his face when the press turns on him.
My company hired a bunch of lower cost engineers in Chile without considering local labor laws, and were upset to discover that the Chileans refused to respond to being paged out of hours when systems were failing…and there was nothing they could do about it 
Tonight’s H5N1 posting
Some veterinarians working with dairies in Texas believe the virus is more active than current data suggest. Nick Schneider, a consulting dairy practitioner, is one of them.
“The thing is, when you get into the Panhandle of Texas, I’m not sure there’s anybody (dairy farms) that did not have it,” says Schneider. Texas is home to 335 Grade A dairies with an estimated 625,00 cows, according to information on the Texas Association of Dairymen website. More than 100 of those operations are in the Panhandle.
The virus likely is being under-reported by the dairy industry because the presence of the virus in dairy cows is new, and there are no reporting requirements, Russo says.
…
Petersen says she has worked with people infected by H5N1 who do not interact with dairy cows. “I'm talking owners and feeders who don't usually touch cows,” she says.
…
Moving forward, the U.S. livestock industry might operate in a new world – one where the H5N1 virus is endemic.

This comes after a lab at Ohio State University detected genetic material of the virus in 38% of retail milk samples they’ve tested, data that also suggests the current outbreak is being underreported.
“A colleague of mine, he told me, ‘You know what’s strange? I went to one of my dairies last week, and all their cats were missing. I couldn’t figure it out — the cats usually come to my vet truck,’ ” Petersen recalled. “And then someone called me and said half of his cats had passed away without warning, and so then all the alarm bells start going off in your head.”
The cats had died from swollen brains, a potential result of influenza. They didn’t have rabies.
