I’ve built a time machine which needs a little tweaking because so far only Minchin, Burton and Robbins have come out of it.

Posh families used to send their useless younger sons into the army, or failing that, the church. Now they end up as simpleton columnists with the self awareness of a water flea.

I believe we should be making more of a fuss about this, guys. Our objections only gets traction if we make politicians very visibly aware of them. Email your MP! Write a letter!

@pippaheylings.bsky.social Hi, I’m concerned about the rise of far right activists blocking infrastructure and threatening RNLI volunteers at sea with apparent impunity. Is they any pressure you can put on the government to ensure these actions are appropriately responded to by the police?

I’ve written to my MP, the Home Secretary and the PM this morning demanding that the government take action to defend the RNLI and clamp down on these far-right “activists”, who need to be arrested and charged for the criminal offences in this thread alone, as well as others in recent weeks.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Looking at a big UK Facebook thread on prepping for the worst, stockpiling, what ppl think of the possibility of war. Almost everyone has something to say about 'if we get nuked.' Given many wars are currently raging in world, none of them nuclear, why do most people only ever imagine this outcome?

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.

Ultimately, this is all downwind of the fact that public attitudes to shopping have fundamentally changed from the Janet and John era and no amount of fiddling with business rates is going to alter that. We have too much commercial space for demand and we should just reduce and rethink the space.

Entomologist here. Great question! It may seem surprising that the scientific community could miss an entire bug species after all this time, especially when it’s THIS big. The answer might surprise you more. Let’s dive in (1/?)

@theoceanblooms
can I ask a question: how does something like this go undiscovered until now

(quoting:)
@ABC
Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.

@MNateShyamalan
he look like stick (2/2)

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
