The spooky season has arrived, and that means Creepy Biology is upon us. It's time to talk origins. It's time to talk gore. It's time to talk about BLOOD. Specifically, YOUR blood 🩸 [a thread]

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Tomorrow (19th September) is #TalkLikeAPirateDay and your annual reminder that when we talk the way we talk when we're talking like a pirate, it's because of a film that was based on a book, inspired by an earlier book, inspired by a real life pirate from #Orkney! ARRR! 🏴‍☠️👇

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

As I approach my 70th birthday, I am increasingly convinced that NO ONE over the age of 65 should be eligible to seek elected office. There's a ton of stuff us wrinklies can contribute to society, but not by running for election. And "Lifetime appointments" should end at 70.

It's that time again, National Trust members. Please use the QuickVote or make your own choices but avoid Bonigala, Cristea, Goldman, Mealing and Omrani. Hopefully one day "Restore Trust" will give up trying to Restore Empire and deny our full and honest history as a nation.
Restore Trust
@RestoreTrustNT Sep 10
"The National Trust, too quick to bend in the wind of fashion, is making historical mistakes and confusing visitors."

Vote Bonigala, Cristea, Goldman, Mealing and Omrani. Leave the Quick Vote unticked.
