Oh dear, what have they done to the #sciencemuseum ☹️. It's been 'modernised', no doubt made 'more relevant' for modern youngsters, but for my money they've ruined it. OK, I'm old and first came here in the mid 1960s, but I won't bother coming back ☹️

"Hard left" = the wild notion that a country should own its own infrastructure, that people should be treated equally and taxed fairly. Join the "hard left". The big money seems to be afraid of us. join.greenparty.org.uk

Anyone who still thinks the way Jason Arday was hounded to his death was "fair comment by a free press" should read this brilliant thread from the Emma which lays bare that the "fair comment" and "free press" goes mute when it's one of their own accused of much worse than Arday ever was. 👇🧵

Interesting, I usually read my Gmail messages via a proper email client (Thunderbird) where folders do show as conventional 'folders'. The Gmail app however shows them as 'labels' 😠. Why do you have to be 'different' Google 🔨

Andrew Plant G0MBL @plantfamily.net · 08/10/2026

God, this led down a rabbit hole. Apparently Gmail doesn't use 'folders', but 'labels'. No doubt everyone else already knows all about this, but I only use Gmail as secondary/throwaway email accounts so have never had reason to be aware of it! I'd have to research the differences

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

The fact that many of the people on UC are also working is not mentioned until way, way down in this Times story. Same for the detail that lots of previous benefits have been phased out and rolled into UC. But above all, the TPA is a pressure group funded by people who avoid and evade tax.

Jesus was a refugee, who fled to Egypt to escape King Herod. He praised the Good Samaritan - someone who helped an outsider. He said "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." You can't be a Christian and anti-migrant.
