It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded. Well, to be strictly accurate, today is the 68th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state. (Yes, sorry. This thread is absolutely disgusting)

Papal Swiss guards in costumes – and especially helmets – that could have come from the 1980 Flash Gordon film, flanking the dead body of Pope Pius XII in a big, posh room in a palace in Rome

Just a reminder: 163 articles were published on Jason Arday in the week after he resigned. Same outlets: 13 articles on Cambridge academic James Orr after allegations of misconduct & a broadcast showing him seemingly engaging in illegal activity. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

The Tech Bro Overclass act like these questions of worth and work and how to organise society have NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE. And someone who “thinks” that (and I hesitate to even use the word “think” here) does not deserve my attention, nor the world’s money and power. Too thick to live.

By @johnnorthside

Xanadu du du
Stately pleasure dome decree
Xanadu du du
Sacred river sunless sea
Fertile ground, girdled round
Blossomed incense-bearing tree
Come and dance every night, to the dulcimer lady

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Domestic abuse is so widespread an issue that a major employer is incorporating employees' need to deal with it into their employee benefits. Union rep: "said domestic violence and abuse affected the lives of at least one in five women, and he urged other employers to introduce similar support."

Does sportswashing get any more powerful than if it leads a football fan to declare that "I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next ten years" provided the owners of the club seek to persecute the people who exposed their monumental cheating?

Back on the foreshore, wash from a passing Thames Clipper nearly knocked me off my feet but also kindly deposited a lovely piece of worked bone waste. The small regular holes are evidence this was used for bead making, perhaps by the Paternosters, located nearby, who once made beads for rosaries.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.
