A view of the Eildon Hills this morning. I'll add a pic from the same spot every time I do the little walk around my village in 2025.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

There are going to be some really weird documentaries if we ever manage to dig ourselves out of this shit.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Sunak saddled us with 25 year contracts with Freeports that's why Labour says we can't join the single market. And my local MP confirmed it. We have been really stitched up. UK Freeports are incompatible with EU ones because companies pay no tax on customs and excise.

October was a very busy month in terms of Roman Festivals. Today we say Happy Fontinalia!

On 13th October, #Romans decorated fountains & wellheads with garlands to honour Fontus, god of wells & springs.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

George Orwell's writings warning of the dangers of totalitarian and authoritarian states gave the English language the term "Orwellian." A new documentary called "Orwell: 2+2=5” argues that Orwell's greatest fears are coming true. https://to.pbs.org/46O1vdj

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With

Worried that AI will destroy work? Well, Sam Altman asks if you've considered what a farmer from half a century ago thinks of your job, first.

He definitely looks like a good un! I had a Polish grandad who was a miner in Derbyshire, he was a bit odd but cooked *amazing* food and took me foraging as well as to the bookies 😂. I don't have many pics of me as a kiddy due to family nonsense but this is the fave from what I have.
