British Theresa May Radiohead parody song
This is a parody music video from Britain, about Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May and the June general election.
It is a parody of the Radiohead song ‘No Surprises‘.
It says about itself:
Maydiohead – “No Uprises”
11 May 2017
A dystopian lullaby from Theresa May‘s Radiohead tribute band.
LYRICS:
A flat that’s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Basic rights repealed
You look too tired to try to
Bring down the government
You’re no, you’re no threat to us
Drill through your quiet life
Fill your home with carbon monoxide
With no unrest and no uprises
No revolt and no uprises
No rebellion and no uprises
Silence, silenceHere’s to a crushing landslide
Here’s to a power grab
With no unrest and no uprises
No revolt and no uprises
No rebellion and no uprises
Please

American robin nest feeding time video
This video from New York state in the USA says about itself:
Male Robin Feeds Chick (12 May 2017) on the Cornell Lab | Sapsucker Woods American Robin Cam
Watch live with highlights and information here.
This pair of robins has built a nest on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, right near the shore of Sapsucker Woods pond. The nest is an open cup of grass and twigs held together with a thick layer of mud and lined with fine dry grass. The female built the nest from the inside, pressing dead grass and twigs around them into a cup shape using the wrist of one wing. This nest site is well protected from the elements, tucked beneath an overhang and out of the wind.
The male will bring food to the nest for the nestlings, but the female (who wears a band on her right leg) will do all of the incubation and brooding. American Robins eat large numbers of both invertebrates and fruit. Particularly in spring and summer they eat large numbers of earthworms as well as insects and some snails. (They have rarely been recorded eating shrews, small snakes, and aquatic insects.) Robins also eat an enormous variety of fruits, including chokecherries, hawthorn, dogwood, and sumac fruits, and juniper berries. One study suggested that robins may try to round out their diet by selectively eating fruits that have bugs in them.

13 May 2017
The Dakota Access Pipeline has already spilled oil, and it’s not even in service yet. Even though it only leaked 84 gallons, this incident is a small snapshot of what’s to come, as Energy Transfer Partners (the company building DAPL) recently spilled 2 million gallons of oil from their Rover pipeline in Ohio, and has proven to be completely incompetent.

Trump’s EPA Wants To Ruin Alaska
13 May 2017
Scott Pruitt just revived a plan to build a controversial mine on some of the most pristine lands in North America. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, Aida Rodriguez, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
“The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has revived a controversial proposed Alaska mining project previously blocked by Obama administration regulators.
The EPA and a mining firm on Friday announced a settlement in their legal dispute over the proposed Pebble Mine near Bristol Bay in southwest Alaska, setting the stage for an eventual permitting decision that could allow the gold and copper project to move forward.
Mine developer Pebble Limited Partnership sued the EPA in 2014 over the agency’s decision to block the mine on environmental and tribal sovereignty grounds before the company had submitted its permit applications.”
