“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

Simon Singhs books are universally excellent.
Katie Mac's "The End of Everything" is fantastic too.

When in the last 2 millennia would this sort of prediction not have been true ? It predicts earthquakes and weather, hardly divinely inspired.

Good call yeah, I moved it after that shot last night. There's no particular direction they recommend but I just assume you want as much sky as possible. I moved it to take the light and the house out of field but there's a new light in the bottom left corner now. I'll try to find the sweet spot.

Perfectly orthodox christianity. A heaven, that exists outside of the known universe, an omnipotent and omniscient being who had his son put to death to cleanse a sin from all humanity. The son rose from the dead and will come again but is currently riding horses with Charlie Kirk. Religion !!!!

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 2d

A tearful Kim Robinson reports that God showed her that Charlie Kirk was rewarded with a horse ranch in Heaven and she saw "Charlie riding on a horse, with Jesus."

The very first image captured by my Global Meteor Network station. Obviously, I'm in Ireland so might have to wait a few years for a clear sky but when it clears I'm hoping to detect my first meteor. Couldn't be more excited.
