Mel Gibson pictured with his doctor in 2004
It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Ed Milliband on Elon Musk on LBC, "Just because you're a billionaire doesn't give you the right to tell us how to run our country" "This guy is a publicity seeking narcissist, who is inciting violence on our streets" "As the Americans would say: butt out of our politics"

Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables. Come on world, this IS possible! And it will only get better (meaning: cleaner, healthier, less intrusive) 🎉 (graphic from grid.iamkate.com )

“Trumpian politics is about activating your base, so you get every nutter you can to vote for you. In Australia everyone has to vote, so it’s not about activating any base. It’s about appealing to the largest number of people.” I love that you all loved @peterfitz1.bsky.social as much as I did. A x

A view of the The Shard and the moon (London Bridge) from the Northbank - literally without my glasses on! 🔎😵‍💫
A beautiful blurred view of the The Shard and the moon (positioned directly above) at London Bridge, from the Northbank. The lights are large, blurred circles: circular smudged blobs of red, amber/gold and white running along the river horizon, against a dark night sky
