There he is. Relaxing after a hard day of sleeping or protecting the gaff from evil spirits or wandering between various sources of food and water while hooting and hollering. The magic man.

"There he is now, look, alone in his polytunnel with his pitiful competition onions, neglected for two weeks in Cuba. A no-rosette situation for Mr Galbraith."

To oppose trans people's rights and freedoms you break so many social contracts. We keep saying that trans rights are human rights, but conversely, human rights are trans rights, because the second you decide some people don't deserve the same rights and freedoms as others? You start to lose it all.

There is a certain type of older British male mind that firmly believes, with an almost unshakable conviction, that it valiantly fought and died in both the first and second world war.

Spooky Advent day 9: Binoculars behaving badly - A View from a Hill by M R James, adapted for television by Peter Harness, and directed by Luke Watson, broadcast first on 23rd December 2005.

A black and white illustration - two men are silhouetted looking out over the countryside from a hill. One looks through a pair of binoculars, and the other points ahead with a walking stick. Above them we can see what the man sees through his binoculars - on the left in the background, an abbey surrounded by trees, and on the right, nearer to us, a corpse swinging from a gibbet surrounded by crows

Amnesty International has published a landmark report concluding that Israel’s assault on Gaza constitutes genocide, in a move that may normalise the term within political and media arenas, writes @rivkahbrown.bsky.social.

Actually kind of shocked that so many on the so-called "left" on here would celebrate the death of the CEO of the Shorten People's Lives Factory.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

Selene, goddess of the moon. Moon itself. "Splendid queen of night, all-seeing power, bedecked with starry light, lover of vigilance, the foe of strife, in peace rejoicing, and a prudent life: fair lamp of night, its ornament and friend, who givest to nature's works their destined end." #tattoos

The Ballybeen Longstone. Erected in the bronze age, this stone now stands on a patch of grass in a housing estate. Some local folklore says that when a cock crows at midnight, the stone turns 360° around. #standingstone #bronzeage #ballybeen #northernireland
