Halloween artificial cobweb material: It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them. And it's not only birds. I've had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs. The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries. When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds. These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death. Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue. Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated. Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror? And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless. Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive. If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now. Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.

Ukraine will win

Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Ike's swords. The Eisenhower presidential library said it could not provide one because it is government property and illegal to give away. Now the library director has been fired. @jennyschuessler @minhokimdh nytimes.com/2025/10/02/arts/…

NEWS: A court just told Trump he can DEFUND Planned Parenthood while they review their case. In the meantime, 200 Planned Parenthood centers could close. How many people will be denied cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing? Millions. It's horrific.

Alabama school lunch lady fired—for collecting donations to pay for student lunches. She respected donors' wishes to stay anonymous—school board said she "could not be trusted." "I made a mistake... I don’t think I should get terminated just for not telling," she testified. Funds must stay above $200 in the PTO bank account—and she just didn't want any kids to go hungry. Avette Dunn argued that her job description never said she couldn’t collect the money—and the donors reached out to her in the first place. Shelby Elementary School is located in Shelby County, Alabama. #DemsUnited

Trump’s America. Do your thing internet. Make her famous. @TizzyEnt

🚨BREAKING: South Korea is FURIOUS that Trump deported 450 Korean workers during an ICE raid of the Hyundai battery plant in GA. The country invested over $1 TRILLION in U.S. factories - and now they’re questioning it all. Trump is a f*cking idiot.

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country." Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy. (thread)

Great idea.

So now the @USArmy can’t recognize Tom Hanks, someone who has done more for veterans and portraying the sacrifices of American soldiers than almost anyone in the country… all because he doesn’t align with Trump. What a disgrace. washingtonpost.com/national-…

apparently this woman works as a school admin which is just absolutely insane to me

The biggest issue with Phillies Karen is how strongly the issue resonates across America. My theory as to why that is has to do with teachers' unions and HR departments. Most Americans are tired of being heckled by middle aged Democrat women with authority demanding that we all acquiesce to their crazy ideas lest we be fired or kicked out of school.

Dad was able to get a HR ball for his son but a Karen in the section was not gonna let him keep it

Who is this Karen?

Now, imagine if men’s healthcare rights were taken away, insurance companies quit covering their procedures, the government took away their research, and this were a room full of women having a meeting making more decisions about men’s healthcare.🤔 Yeah, that would go over like a lead balloon.

Trump is stiffing the National Guard as he deliberately calls them for 29 day assignments knowing full well that one additional day more will provide them a 2500.00 BAQ housing allowance. Trump will then renew the 29 day assignments to screw them again. The NG is pissed and MAGA is noticing.
