How do you date a find like this? and why it was in the middle of a field? where are the houses or Roman villa nearby? was Mildenhall a Roman settlement? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildenh...

Greta Thunberg issues a statement about Donald Trump’s temper tantrums:

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

Greta Thunberg is obviously a heroic person by any measure, she is quite obviously the kind of person who any decent society would hope they see their reflection in. It is remarkable how cruelty is so common place that people will openly hate her, and in really vicious ways, with no shame.

The UK household debt is over £2 trillion. Debt once public now loaded to households e.g. student debt. Energy debt rising. People borrowing for healthcare. Mortgages 7 times salary being issued. Soaring rents. Real average wage stuck at the 2008 level. What could go wrong?

They're going to tax foreign languages, aren't they?

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ and systemic problems, study says - Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

The 'statement of reasons' given by enviro minister Murray Watt approving the North West Shelf gas project extension contains some astonishing mental gymnastics. He assumes the same level of emissions could occur even if the project didn't proceed epbcpublicportal.environment.gov.au/_entity/shar...

Textbook drug dealer's defence (note: some drugs are good and cool) You don't hear it about other harmful stuff ("If we didn't build and sell defective, deadly children's toys, others countries would just fill the gap, so we gotta do it")

Why is Ealing Council removing trees healthy trees from the streets of our borough? No pruning or pollarding trees; completely gone! Pouf! Nothing but woodchips left behind.

Once more I'm postimg risking my life from that dangerpus place called London where I include some photographic evidence for your consideration:

You should probably go back to the mid-90s, where your knowledge appears to end.

Last time I've posted this Patreon made the photos disappear! "The pleasures of this world are six: food, drink, clothing, sex, scent, and sound. The most eminent and perfect of these is food, for food is the foundation of the body and the material of life.” www.patreon.com/posts/lamb-r...

And people will still ask why Greta Thunberg is protesting for Palestine. Palestine and climate justice coincide with each other. Palestine coincides with virtually all other causes: disability justice, racial justice etc can all be fought for in the context of Palestine too.

Good morning! If you listen to podcasts, enjoy food traditions, have a listen to my latest episode about Ukrainian food, history, tradition, family & land! It's an interview with the super-talented @oliahercules.bsky.social who I wanted to speak to for years! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Yeah man, imagine a party falling apart because the niche obsessions of the people running it had no relationship to its membership or the electorate. Good job that won't happen to any of the other very functional and popular parties in the UK.

A text from my mum. The general population appear to be losing their minds

Aside from the content of this, I will never understand the BBC's insistence on one sentence paras in non-breaking news articles. Do they think their readers are near illiterate?

Meanwhile, in 'ya don't f*king say' land, Reform discover that governing ain't quite so easy... ' "Everyone thought we'd come in and there were going to be these huge costs we could cut away but there just aren't," said a third senior Reform cabinet member in Kent. '

I understand a court of appeal ruling is due this month on the question of whether a judicial review of the ban can go ahead in November. The government is opposing it, but I think they might be wiser to get this cleared up as soon as possible. The current situation looks awful & is not sustainable.

As far as we know, the BBC didn't officially refused to interview @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social during conference - but leaving out our Jewish party leader in the week a terrorist murdered and terrorised Jewish people in his own city feels like a very deliberate editorial call

Had to reserve VIP seats for the bots.

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

"I spoke to hundreds of puppies and kittens who all hate you personally, Shabana Mahmood, why haven't you sorted this out, many years ago, before you were in power, by banning all protest, and also why are you restricting protest, you authoritarian monster?" Kuenssberg is just so exhaustingly shit.

For those who take a niche interest in the Americanisation of UK rightwing politics, formerly Tory-linked student group Turning Point are increasingly going down the Charlie Kirk-type evangelical path. [Not the point, but I love the idea of 2025 Soho being some hotbed of sin]

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

All the comments below the article are "we didn't used to eat out" or "once a year/special occasion" "I'm scottish i don't like spending money" "i drink the bathwater after i have a bath to save money" etc... jfc why are the Brits such joyless motherfuckers? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Such an easy country to govern- just encourage people to gripe at anyone trying to enjoy themselves, and you can get away with anything while they do just that.

Have to say, this is quite weird

Gaza protest in Amsterdam now.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Θυμήθηκα έναν Σεπτέμβρη στο Κερατσίνι μια γιαγιά που είχε βγει με υψωμένη γροθιά στο μπαλκόνι και έλεγε «Καποτε ήμουν κι εγώ εκεί, μαζί σας» και το μαθητικό μπλοκ της φώναζε «Γιαγια, γιαγιά, για πάντα Αντιφά» κι αυτή γελαγε κι έκλαιγε.

When your colleague brings some of his leftover home grown produce to work to share!!!!😁😁😁😁

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

They just literally aren’t Christians. They like pictures of the aryan Jesus and they like the music hall theatrics of american evangelism, but when confronted with actual Christianity they tend to feel very offended. ‘Churchgoers’ I suppose you could call them.

I can’t remember where the article was from, but I remember reading a thing a while back that it’s now common for pastors to be pushed out of churches by congregations for preaching parts of the New Testament that they don’t like.

I've never seen Love Island (no shade to reality tv, I just never got into it)

Here's an 11th-century Jewish manuscript that refers to God as Allah and wishes for the reader to have "jihad of his soul in love for his Creator"

The most egregious one for me - as someone who was raised in a far right Lebanese Christian environment - is when I found out as a teenager that in the West the word Allah means ‘the God that Muslims worship’ whereas for me it just meant, you know, Jesus’ father.

On top of my head: -Rohingya muslim genocide/ ethnic cleansing. -Darfur genocide. -Bosnian genocide. -Uyghur persecutions -Palestinian genocide -total destruction of Chechnya Millions of Muslims suffering in recent years, and yet, the Islamophobia and racism in the West is beyond comprehension!

There is a looming, societally-explosive, crisis of climate collapse. And there is a veritable governmental stampede into unprecedented restrictions on political freedom. They will tell you these are completely unconnected things. Perhaps in their tiny minds, they are. But.

There weren't even that many people, a few hundred, living in tents and washing in communal basins. Why can't my country care more about giving people dignity and safety, and focus on that being our pride and legacy?

Just took a wrong turn and accidentally drove by a refugee camp in Dunkirk. We could absolutely house these people. We could help them. And our human rights advocate PM would rather use them for point scoring and civil unrest in an ongoing bid to become the most blandly evil man in the west.

No they haven't. You have read David Brooks in the NYT and let yourself get fooled that because he wears a sweater vest he must be intelligent. The right have been fascists in waiting, bombing abortion clinics and trying to ban gay books from schools for my whole life. You are objectively wrong.
