Oh my God! I've gone down that rabbit hole now...and I'm left wondering if there's a direct correlation between "purchases premium ice cream" and "wines and spirits" and "gradually building home fitness set up".

What I want is a TV documentary channel entirely devoted to documentaries with no quick-cut montages of everything about to happen, which don't give a fuck about keeping my attention, presented by extremely knowledgeable people in a terrible mood who have no interest in trying to make me like them

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

And live in an open cat sanctuary? With surplus goats? And have a fabulous library/study and kitchen. Fireplaces everywhere. Obvs. (Soz, I may be projecting my lottery win thoughts 🤔)

Picking on the RNLI and thinking you are the good guys is such a great example of what is presumably an irreversible brain rot, like if you opened up the bonnet on those heads it would be like when a peach has gone too mushy to be saved

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

if last of the mohicans was already too hard for you and you're an editor in chief i'm not sure whether that reflects worse on your baseline reading comprehension, the schools you went to as a child, or the current state of journalism overall. i don't actually know if you can blame ai for this one

An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron. From Mörigen, 900-800 BC. 📷️ me

A corroded metal arrowhead displayed upright on a thin stand. The triangular point is heavily weathered and rough, with two short side barbs extending from the base. Its surface shows a mottled texture of rust and mineral deposits, giving it an uneven, pitted appearance

Do read the short story in this repost folks…it’ll make you do things like this. I peeked through my hagstone at the window, not realising next door’s cat was watching. And now I think he’s dialling 999 on me.

A hagstone - held in the light of my window so that I can peek through it, not realising I should be pointing it at next door’s garden.
