The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable bravery. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

Annual reminder that the Community Shield used to be called the Charity Shield, but so little money actually went to charity that the government told them to either start making serious contributions or change the name. So they changed the name.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

Took my registered blind 92yr old nan to the polling station. "Which way to vote for a free Palestine" she shouted and the whole place told her local elections are more about bins.

It's become common lately to hear people say that rising attainment in English schools has been bought at the price of mental health problems. Is this true? Have Gove-era reforms caused increased anxiety? I dig into the international data to see... substack.nomoremarking.com/p/do-knowled...

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights
A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

Big day to be a fisheries historian (fishtorian). Big day. When it comes to oily fish, the export market has always been the focus of British commerical fishing. Prior to the First World War, British fishing was dominated by the North Sea herring fishing; herring outweighed every other fish (1/?)

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
2.

Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
3.

Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.
4.

Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
5.

By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

The first time I ever travelled first class on a train, I was amazed that they had complimentary chocolate bars on the tables. I ate mine & then the man whose chair I was sat in came back & demanded to know why I had eaten his chocolate bar. Mortified.

My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper crazy stuff, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot gap to the roof of the neighbouring building. I shouted, "Jim, don't be stupid, there's no way you'll make that jump!"

Another site, a bit musky, is full of people (many bots, tbf) parading near zero understanding of English law or of the convictions in respect of the last 10 days’ or so violence. Nor does the US 1st Amendment mean what many (often Americans) seem to think. Frustrated? Maybe this can help. A🧵/1.
