So imagine if the part of SpaceX Rocket that accidentally hurtled into the moon, weighing 4,000kg hit Earth 😱😱 Musk’s rockets blow up, smash into planters, his cars catch fire, fall apart and crash killing 65 people as of 2025 and injuring scores more And he’s called a genius FGS 🤦🏼‍♂️

The stray piece of the Falcon 9 rocket is about the size of a five-storey building, with a weight on Earth of at least 4,000kg.

It so annoys me that the Tories so buggered up this country over the last 80 years and they get to have any say at all on the current government trying to fix things with one hand tied behind their backs by an electorate who want Rolls Royce public services for clapped out Ford Escort level taxes.

Badenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight

I grew up among Conservative politics. This is beyond that now. Defending a neo-nazi candidate shows how far Badenoch has shifted them to the far right. There is now no difference between her party and that of Restore and Reform. That should not be normalised. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

In 2016, I was in the Loch Ness Inn in Lewiston drinking a pint after a lovely day of hiking and such, and saw Bear Grylls on the pub TV bite the head off a frog he’d dug out of the ground in a desert. I’ve hated him ever since with the same passion I usually reserve for mass murdering dictators.

Bear Grylls really fucked up that genre of masculinity while Ray Mears is there doing the thing and doing it better

I really think some of my colleagues in the Parliamentary lobby need a bit of a break. The reporting at the moment is so frantic and a bit hysterical. Today Burnham is being accused of a major U-turn because he said he would look at something and then said he won't move ahead with it currently.

Science not being 100% right does not mean science is 100% wrong. There will always be areas on the margins of science that seem incomplete or disputed. That doesn't mean the other 99.9% of science is made up. Just in case Lewis Goodall needs help understanding this basic fact.

I want to go back to a country where people looked out for each other, you could leave your door open, and everyone knew right from wrong. That's why I'm voting for the sleaziest collection of corrupt f***ers the world has ever seen to do that for me.

🇺🇦 FM warns of a 🇷🇺 campaign using #Ceuta pictures to sow destabilisation. Are 🇮🇹🇫🇮🇩🇰 governments talking of suspending Schengen—not mentioning that (a) 🇪🇸 quickly got the Ceuta situation under control & (b) there are border controls between Ceuta and EU mainland anyway—aware whose game they are playing?

“That the richest man in the world and the biggest donor to the president and ruling party of the United States openly and repeatedly endorses ethnic cleansing and insinuates violent threats ought to be of greater concern to the world’s power brokers.”

They’re very ignorant and behind the times, ADHD is now being recognised as much more than ‘just’ a neurodevelopmental disorder, latest evidence suggests it comes with physical health effects that extend to the whole body. Dr Jessica Eccles (Bendy Brain on SM) is doing some brilliant work on this.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.
