Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from all of us at Deep Field Games. Thank you for making this year one for the history (and science) books. See you in 1996 - and the many portal worlds beyond!

SMOKING GUN. Final letter from Epstein to another convicted paedophile. "We shared one thing … our love for young ladies. Our president [Trump] also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch’" #Epstein www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's the nonce trifecta!

A majority (71%) found 2025 was good or average for them. Only 27% found it was bad But 66% thought 2025 was bad for the UK That disparity between what people are actually experiencing and how they think the UK is doing, suggests the latter is more to do with perception than reality

Blindingly obvious and exactly what I said to the New York Times at the time. So the question is, why did the useless British media carry, hysterically, coverage of a UK (Not Very Good) Lawyers for Israel press release? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Biologists poured cold water on Colossal Biosciences’ claim to have brought the dire wolf back from extinction, and some worry the overblown headlines will undermine conservation work

This is a fair and important question. Trump is a criminal, running a criminal syndicate from the Oval Office.

📆 Barnsley v Wycombe Wanderers rearranged for Tuesday 3rd March 2026

Something tells us that we're going to be correcting a lot of people today... maryrose.org/discover/his...

Community. Note.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

🚨 Gary Rowett sacked as Oxford United Manager after 12 months in charge. A bit harsh, considering he helped keep #oufc in the Championship last season. Could backfire this season. www.oufc.co.uk/news/club-st...

So my @wwfc.com January wishlist is Aaron Morley, Cameron Humphreys and Sam Smith. Even if we only get one of them I'll be happy. If we end up with all 3 by some miracle I'd love to have any 2 on a permanent deal. If 2, 1 permanent would be good, if it was Smith I'd be v surprised. 🤑 #Chairboys 💙

This is pretext. Trump’s been obsessed w/wind turbines for decades, which began after Scotland put some in near his golf course. He sued the govt & lost, which is why he claims they cause cancer, mental illness in whales, bird extinctions, etc. Welcome to the 19th century. bsky.app/profile/atru...

My “London is falling” moment: some company called Until has hung giant shiny letters spelling out their name in a curved window on Charing Cross Road so the UNT really stands out as you walk down and nobody, not one of you, has added a C. For shame, London. For shame ☹️

History will record that Kimmel and Colbert were among the shining brave lights of our time.

FYI, across Christmas, the BBC is showing brilliant Hitchcock and Billy Wilder classics in the daytime, as well as screwball delights like What’s Up, Doc? and Bringing Up Baby Also, Paddington 1 & 2, and Spiderverse 2 So many cinematic masterpieces to enjoy with your turkey

Kamal al-Helbawy, the spokesman for the anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood, appeared on BBC only one time, in 2011. Nigel Farage, the anti-Semitic head of Reform UK, has appeared on BBC QT 38 times since then, is a nightly feature on the news, and had his own show on GB News Who is the bigger danger?

Direct Bullion paid Nigel Farage £189,300.00 5 December 2024 £91,200.00 6 January 2025 £135,000.00 31 October 2025 each payment says it was for 4 hours work a month members.parliament.uk/member/5091/...

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to) I've written this document to try to explain WHY it's a bad idea rather than just forbidden fruit. #AI #genAI

⚽️ Matchday Burton Albion v Wycombe Wanderers #chairboys team news Out: Fink, Taylor In: Casey, Lowry Come on Wycombe 🔵

Big test for Lowry today? Easier to try and then sub him if needed than just take up a bench space? Burton squad is short of players, only 6 on the bench and 2nd league start for their keeper this season. #Chairboys 💙

Is it like all those Christian nutcases who arrived on the shores of the land that would one day become the USA?

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency. This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Danish intelligence accuses US of using economic power to ‘assert its will’ over allies. Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance. Europe needs closer economic & military cooperation.

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬 He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

Whispers "perhaps the problem is *you* Graham... and not all your many ex friends."

Incidentally, the Bible is very much anti performative prayer... oh and is quite big on the "Love your neighbour as yourself" thing. But hey who cares when you've got social media to post

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair. At @thenerve_news we’ve tracked Blair’s influence - & his billionaire backer Larry Ellison - behind a policy that nobody asked for & almost nobody wants. 1/

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous. People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border. We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Trump: Ain't he a grumpy old fuck?
