She played a vital role in the first moon landings, but remained largely unknown. A software engineering pioneer. Margaret Hamilton August 17, 1936 – September 30, 2026

What a stupid way to write opening hours. I thought it was only open for half an hour on Friday and Saturday, until I looked at other days and saw it was am and pm. It also amazes me that 24 hour time still isn’t the standard used everywhere.
Screen shot of opening times showing:

Thursday - 9:30 - 5:00
Friday - 9:30 - 10:00
Saturday - 9:30 - 10:00
Sunday - 9:30 - 5:00

Why don’t we talk more about how one of the most prestigious global culinary awards is given out by a company that makes car tyres? I know the history of it, but it’s still pretty weird, right?

Opponents to PR claim “it will lead to unstable coalition governments”. The only prime minister to have served a full term between two elections in over 20 years was David Cameron, between 2010 and 2015 … whilst leading a coalition government.

I always thought Alice Blue was called that because of the Disney Alice in Wonderland film. Turns out it’s actually named after Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt. I did always think it looked nothing like the dress from Alice in Wonderland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_b...

Ugh. Yes Starmer needs to go, but, for Labour, Wes Streeting is probably the WORST possible choice to replace him. Streeting has absolutely nothing about him that will reverse Labour’s fortunes, and will almost certainly accelerate the rate of people fleeing to the Greens. So, go for it, I guess!

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Argh, it’s so fucking annoying that BBC keep switching the curling to different channels during a game. It’s especially annoying because I’m watching on iPlayer, not even an actual TV channel.

I’m all for Starmer going, but who the hell would replace him? Hopefully Streeting is sullied by Mandelson associations too (as he’s the worst). Which leave Rayner? Anyone else? Miliband return? Cooper? What a mess!

If only there had been any kind of warning from history about Mandelson’s trustworthiness and honesty. If only. But no, Starmer had no reason to doubt him.

The most generous interpretation of the evidence would seem to be that when ICE agents heard he had a gun they panicked and overreacted, not realising he’d already been safely disarmed. Even given that most generous interpretation it is obvious the Trump Administration is lying about what happened.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."

Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces.

Proud to be an American today!

USA 🇺🇸"Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster."

Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars

If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position"

Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

@herring1967.bsky.social - I may be completely misremembering, but I remember you interviewing someone on RHLSTP (RHLSTP) Book Club about a book about a functional crime writer. Someone who invented an alias for themselves as a crime writer. They sounded pompous (the character). Something like that?
