High-resolution 3D models of over 60 ceiling carvings in Oxford's Divinity School have been published online. The 15th-century carvings include religious symbols, mythical animals, and coats of arms, but there is still debate over their interpretation. sketchfab.com/ARCHiOx/models

No trains are running through Didcot Parkway after reports of a gas main in the area being hit. As a result, the only trains running from Oxford station are Chiltern services to Marylebone. GWR says it is trying to organise rail replacement buses. www.gwr.com/travel-infor...

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

There are 3.4 million girls 14 and under in England. Elon Musk just wrote that 1 out of every 13 such girls is right now being “systematically raped by migrant gangs.” The man has gone utterly insane. He’s a sociopath. His latest post is—unambiguously—neo-Nazi rhetoric intended to incite violence.
