Guys guys guys, I found the archive of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (it's not an achievement, they've not hidden them) - you can watch every single one since they started televising them in the 60s: www.rigb.org/christmas-le... I love watching them every year, now I can see them all!

Watch the Royal Institution CHRISTMAS LECTURES archive

Watch all the Royal Institution CHRISTMAS LECTURES back to 1966, when the lectures were first televised.

It’s okay to spend Christmas Day alone. It’s okay to spend it painting miniatures listening to your favourite episodes of a podcast or audiobook.

2521 years ago, on the 17th of December 497 BCE, the first Saturnalia festival was celebrated in ancient Rome. It served as the dedication anniversary of the Temple to Saturn. The festival was later expanded to last 7 days, until the 23rd, coinciding with the winter solstice. #otd #history 🗃️

If someone officially joins the @greenparty.org.uk do they have to stop calling The Wrong dishonourable “member” for Clacton a “Self-serving, frog-faced opportunistic Nazi cunt who’d serve the world infinitely better by tap-dancing for landmines in Cambodia.”? Asking for a friend.
