Opportunities to transform nature don’t get much bigger than this! We have the opportunity to conserve 340 acres (138 hectares) of biodiverse countryside surrounding the Cerne Abbas Giant, Dorset.
Aerial view of the Cerne Abbas giant - a landscape feature showing the white chalk outline of a naked man with a club raised in one hand. There is text over lay which reads 'It's a big one!'

Lots of ways to be a man! Problems can lie in fitting into societal expectations of 'manliness', and men can be crap at dealing with that. I've never wanted to hurt myself, but many do, and a British man kills himself every two hours. It's why I support www.mensmindsmatter.org #InternationalMensDay

If you're on Instagram, then please consider following instagram.com/picasso__film/. It's the production company in Prague for which I am now Creative Producer, and is helping make my series 'The Last Hunt for Nazi Gold'. There'll be plenty of behind-the-scenes stuff and all sorts!

Realised that I’m now treating funny viral videos in the same way footballers celebrate goals — 1) initial joy, 2 sudden panic it might be AI/offside 3) lengthy investigation as joy saps away 4) conclusion, joy modulated through fatigue if proven legit/onside, but angry and gutted if AI/offside

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If video games make you happy, keep playing. If they give you peace after a hard day, keep playing. If they help you feel emotions that you need to feel, keep playing. If you're having fun, KEEP PLAYING. Life is short. Do what makes you happy. Always. 💫

A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked. I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

Charles Rogers has been whitewashed off the DOD website by abhorrent incels who fear their own insignificance. Please, share his face & his Medal of Honour citation far & wide. My substack tomorrow will be dedicated to minorities and women who have won it because I’m furious https://achurchill.substack.com

Image and citation from Wikipedia. Citation reads: 

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.
Lt. Col. Rogers, Field Artillery, distinguished himself in action while serving as commanding officer, 1st Battalion, during the defense of a forward fire support base. In the early morning hours, the fire support base was subjected to a concentrated bombardment of heavy mortar, rocket and rocket propelled grenade fire.
Simultaneously the position was struck by a human wave ground assault, led by sappers who breached the defensive barriers with bangalore torpedoes and penetrated the defensive perimeter. Lt. Col. Rogers with complete disregard for his safety moved through the hail of fragments from bursting enemy rounds to the embattled area. He aggressively rallied the dazed artillery crewmen to man their howitzers and he directed their
fire on the assaulting enemy. Although knocked to the ground and wounded (continued on next image) by an exploding round, Lt. Col. Rogers sprang to his feet and led a small counterattack force against an enemy element that had penetrated the howitzer positions. Although painfully wounded a second time during the assault, Lt. Col. Rogers pressed the attack killing several of the enemy and driving the remainder from the positions. Refusing medical treatment, Lt. Col. Rogers reestablished and reinforced the defensive positions. As a second human wave attack was
launched against another sector of the perimeter, Lt. Col. Rogers directed artillery fire on the assaulting enemy and led a second counterattack against the charging forces. His valorous example rallied the beleaguered defenders to repulse and defeat the enemy onslaught. Lt. Col. Rogers moved from position to position through the heavy enemy fire, giving encouragement and direction to his men. At dawn the determined enemy launched a third assault against the (continued on next image) 
fire base in an attempt to overrun the position. Lt. Col. Rogers moved to the threatened area and directed lethal fire on the enemy forces. Seeing a howitzer inoperative due to casualties, Lt. Col. Rogers joined the surviving members of the crew to return the howitzer to action. While directing the position defense, Lt. Col. Rogers was seriously wounded by fragments from a heavy mortar round which exploded on the parapet of the gun position.
Although too severely wounded to physically lead the defenders, Lt. Col.
Rogers continued to give encouragement and direction to his men in the defeating and repelling of the enemy attack. Lt. Col. Rogers' dauntless courage and heroism inspired the defenders of the fire support base to the heights of valor to defeat a determined and numerically superior enemy force. His relentless spirit of aggressiveness in action are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself. his unit. and the U.S. Army.

Don’t call it an Elon musk salute. Don’t rebrand and de-historify a very specific action, purposefully done. Do not play into their hands, do not allow the creation of a culture where this is called something other than what it is.
