Dr. Jack Cooper 🦈
@CooperPalaeo
PhD in sharks & their functional diversity. Science communicator & researcher of megalodon. Scottish. Cyclist, climber & moviegoer. Cat person.
Like everyone else, I'm slowly leaving twitter & going elsewhere. Why? Coz it's a nasty place spewing far-right, anti-science loonies. You can now find me on BlueSky, & I've even caved & made an instagram too where I'll share SciComm on fossil sharks. Hope to see you there! 🦈
Time and time again, the Prime Minister says the situation in Gaza is intolerable… but he keeps on tolerating it. Palestinian statehood was literally in his own manifesto, so why won’t he recognise it now? I wonder if Donald Trump is stopping him.
You can officially call me Dr of Sharks now! 🦈 Delighted to have graduated from my PhD yesterday; & to get to celebrate with my family & girlfriend & my brilliant supervisors Catalina & John. The support has been immense & I've made some great pals in Swansea over the 4 years 🦈
If only words of condemnation would feed the starving children of Gaza. Enough statements. The people of Gaza need action and they need it now! End arm sales to Israel. Impose economic sanctions against them so they feel international pressure and let aid flow into Gaza.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
no mention of Israel, no demands on Israel, no suggestion of any kind of action to stop Israel.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Again, pretending to find a conscience now, as we enter the endgame stage of a genocide you did PR for, is not going to wash. The BBC should never be forgiven for its complicity, its self-censorship, and how it allowed itself to be pushed around by lobbyists to hide the truth.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS According to the Wall Street Journal, this is basically how it went in May. Trump: We will release the Epstein files. Bondi: I have the Epstien list on my desk. Republicans: Release the files. Department of Justice: Mr. President you are in the Epstein…
What did you do @Keir_Starmer ? What did you do @DavidLammy ?

South Park kicked off Season 27 by putting Donald Trump in bed with Satan. Trump is going to lose his mind.😆
UNESCO’s mission is to promote peace, education, science, and culture. If the U.S. no longer aligns with that, maybe the problem isn’t UNESCO. 🤷♀️
I said this before, but it is incredibly weird how RWBY critics unironically say that they want the show to be about nothing, mean nothing and do nothing outside of cutesy slice-of-life with no narrative or story beyond "I gotta pass the next exam!"
RWBY needs a hard reboot and if it does, it should be kept strictly a magic academy series.
Stop selling arms to Israel then.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
No, Israel does not have the right to starve 2 million people. "But Hamas" No. "But the hostages" No. "But Oct 7th" No. "But self-defence" No. "But Israel's right to exist" No. "But Israel is a democracy" NO. No. No. NO. There are no excuses. Stop it now.
After every genocide people ask "how could fellow human beings commit such horrendous crimes against one another?" The answer is always the same - because the victims were dehumanised. Everyone should be outraged & demand their Government stops its complicity in this genocide.

And this is the cunt you want to vote for? Unless his answer is ‘small boats’, then he has no idea! Wake up you fucking idiots.
No policy Nigel "I've no ideA" "I've no idea" Repeatedly, like a broken record.
This says so much about him. He takes an award he didn’t earn and that has nothing to do with him.
My god Trump really pocketed one of the championship medals meant for the players smh

If you thought Superman was right for fighting fascists in the 1970s but now you think he’s wrong for fighting fascists in the 2020s, then Superman didn’t go woke… you went fascist.
Is there honestly anyone out there that still believes this isn't a genocide? Israel has become a rogue nation, slaughtering children with impunity. To world leaders: your words are no good, your condemnation is worthless, the children of Gaza need action and they need it now.

Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?
