It’s 156 years since French lawyer/politician Léon Gambetta decided, during the Franco-Prussian war that Paris under siege wasn’t the safest place to be, so skipped town in a coal-gas-fired balloon

October 7, 2014 – Say you’ve got to skip town in a hurry. Maybe you owe somebody a lot of money; maybe the mayor’s daughter is in love with you and you’re below her

While best known for wine, the McLaren Vale region has become home to plenty of local beer since 2010. In our latest Crafty Crawl, Briony Liebich from Flavour Logic guides you through the eleven venues with their own beer on tap located there and in the wider Fleurieu Peninsula.

Say: “McLaren Vale” and most people think wine. It’s a fair call as there are more than 80 cellar doors in the region. However, anyone who spends time there knows there’s a plethora of options for cra...

Photo of a Tiliqua rugosa, most commonly known as the shingleback skink, shingleback lizard, bobtail lizard, and the two-headed skink (often simply shingleback or bobtail); is a short-tailed, slow-moving species of blue-tongued skink (genus Tiliqua) endemic to Australia. Three of its four recognised subspecies are found in Western Australia, where the bobtail name is most frequently used.

‘Throw your medals in the bin,’ Roy Keane tells Manchester City players
* ‘They won the titles because cheating was going on’ * Micah Richards says he is ‘devastated and heartbroken’ The former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said he would throw the “medals in the bin” if he were a Manchester City player following Premier League confirmation on Tuesday that the club were guilty of all charges related to their financial rules and boosted their income by more than £900m after arranging “sham ­contracts” with commercial partners. City, who continue to deny any wrongdoing, won eight trophies, including three Premier League titles between 2009 and 2018, the period under investigation. Keane said the achievements of City’s players had become redundant because of the “cheating” that took place during that time. Continue reading...

1. #MedievalSky, grab a lifejacket and a seasickness bag, we’re casting off on a thread about the Norman invasion fleet in 1066! 960 years ago, the Normans landed at Pevensey and established a base at the Roman shore fort which was already succumbing to erosion from the sea on its south side. 1/20

Have recently discovered that Neal Asher, the SF author, is a big #SpaceKaren fan. That's him off my reading list. I read one or two of his Polity books and found them to be not that engaging, a little too much like Heinlein. Glad I didn't pay for the books, don't want to support a nazi 🖕

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

Britain doesn't change. I'm rereading Holmes. It's 1887 and the Daily Telegraph speculates that a murder must have been perpetrated by refugees or socialists, and advocates a closer watch over foreigners, while the Standard blames such outrages on a liberal government. A Study in Red, White & Blue?

Most astrophysicists believe time is a landscape like space, meaning the past you remember still physically exists even though you're no longer standing in it.
