What a picture
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

Good piece
take a guy with a history of mental health issues. put him in front of a crowd actively trying to push him over the edge. throw in some petty English nationalism and a recent bereavement. and you get what happened to cameron menzies, today

The Scotsman is a wry, slightly daft ex-plumber who wears his heart on his sleeve. So why does the Ally Pally crowd enjoy goading him?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

That's amazing 😂
Saw a gig poster for Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich and thought "surely they're all dead" and oh boy this makes the Black Lace timeline look easy.
They're onto the 3rd iteration of Mick and Tich, with Beaky the only original, although they did burn through two more Beakys in the 90s and 00s.

Great story, brilliant pic 👏
Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

On this day, 5 May in 1973, the legendary #Secretariat won the #KentuckyDerby, setting a record time in the race that still stands today. He went on that year to win the other two legs of the #TripleCrown of US racing, also by records that still stand today. #TremendousMachine
