Only natural fibres would definitely speed up the freezing to death process leaving the higher reaches of the mountain relatively corpse free.

Starting S3 of Silo and after 2 series, 20 episodes, I'm still strangely ambivalent about it. It's good, no doubt and exactly the sort of show I like. But is it good good? Do I really care for, or root for the characters? Still, here I am.

Cruel and unusual punishment for the prisoners he'd be banged up with. We'd have to leave the ECHR to make it work.

Triangulating every tax/spending/policy change on short term electoral cost is a recipe for long term electoral disaster. Fear is the mind killer.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

And then someone spoiled all the good work with roundabouting overkill.

The world's greatest artwork is that poster of the woman tennis player's arse and Happy Birthday to You is the best music ever written.

Clearing the in-laws house and found AJ owns a top hat. Because of course he does, no one ever doubted it.

Dearly hope you've got #TBIFF pencilled in. OK, it's for shorts, in January and tiny but it's in Morecambe like me and I really want to see your film. www.thebayfilmfestival.com

As my brother said, Barca had a good look, we're offered him for a knock down £25m and chose to spend 4x that on Antony Gordon.

Thing I don't understand is Ratcliffe sacked all the time saved backroom staff but still hasn't got round to whoever puts Mogadon in the pre-match tea.

It's all very familiar for United fans. It's not systems, tactics, incompetence or all of that guff. It's that players seem to down tools on managers so regularly.

All these years I thought you needed hard work and a little luck to become fabulously wealthy when in reality it's for nothing without also being a sociopathic shit for brains.

Classic 10 man turnaround. It concentrates the minds of the disadvantaged team, the other loses urgency.

They hoped it would invent its own profitable utility. They found it can't generate a plausible press release announcing it's failure.

What's the principal on the queue order here? It's neither date of death or number of victims. I can't see any of them turning up on a first come first served basis, not without a massive punch up.

Not Cameron or May. Cameron introduced the Act in 2011, May secured the 2/3rd's majority needed to call an early election in 2017. Johnson failed to win 2/3rd's in 2019 then introduced an enabling act allowing an early election the next day. Johnson then repealed what had become a dead duck in 2022.

Of those who actually gave an opinion 84% seem to be in favour of enriching the English language with French and The Harrowing of the North. The 1st is surprisingly high, the 2nd right on the money, I'd venture.

At last, a poll that goes someway towards capturing the true ignorance and apathy when questioned by polluters. Don't Knows and Neithers @ 69% is gold.

This why 67 % of even the smartest people are idiots. We've already got robots that can outpace any living creatures. But no, let's take the wheels off and give it legs so they can fall over and destroy themselves.

Even the very oldest human artefacts are many millions of years away from being bound up in rock like dinosaur bones.

Seldon Scott @seldon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Rock formation and archeology are only related in the most basic aspect. The timescales are unimaginable different. The soils where we find human bones and gold coins will take millions of and millions of years and go through countless other processes before they turn into rock.

New book tonight. Without reading a word it feels like it might funny but occasional read, not a start to fihish-er in one go type of thing.
