Same shit, just a little more extreme

A spiral galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the GEMS survey. It is at redshift 0.37 (lookback time 4.17 billion years) with coordinates (53.34035, -27.71963). 130 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.

I very much enjoyed the 45 minute queue at passport control at Schipol. So pleased to have access to all these Brexit benefits

The US sticking it's oar in other countries politics again.

No war for oil. Venezuela has more in proven reserves than Saudi Arabia. That's the whole story. share.google/6WtXYW1gA7A7...

Venezuela is not a major producer of cocaine, never was, and is not now. The DEA released an annual cocaine report in 2024, which identified Colombia as the primary source of cocaine (over 84%) seized by the US. The report does not even mention Venezuela. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

Venezuela is oil rich, and the USA has had their beady eyes on this for a while. Tantamount to state armed robbery

No war with Venezuela! www.stopwar.org.uk/article/no-w...

Who would have guessed

Indeed. Where are any flies? The insect population of the UK has declined markedly. Windscreens don’t get splattered in the summer months anymore. And it’s not good news.

Can I be the first person to ask : Where are the crane flies this year? Its November and not a single one yet.

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

@microsoft.com Making some awesome life decisions here... Also, if Grok shows up on my personal or work computers, I'll step up finding a way to replace Windows with a different operating system.

New polling shows Donald Trump has hit an all time low for his approval rating. Reading the transcript from last night's 60 Minutes interview should bring it down even lower ⬇️ www.cbsnews.com/news/read-fu...

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

🤔

Is this what Farage means when he talks about bringing Ice style raids to the UK?

How fitting! The Great Gatsby is a novel largely about the BS underscoring the American Dream myth and the corrupt, vacuous and grotesque excess of the nouveau riche elite

☝️👏👏💯💯 every Tory politician who slammed Mick Lunch should have their previous comments, video and audio recordings played back to them as they give “ heartfelt thanks”. We keep the receipts

About 10 years ago, a railway bridge over an estuary near us collapsed, just before a commuter train was going to cross, driver spotted in time and managed to stop with seconds to spare, would have been huge disaster if he'd reacted any slower. Is a huge responsibility.

Absolutely. It is also being reported (by British Transport Police) that the most seriously injured casualty on the train was an LNER employee: "Detectives have reviewed the CCTV from the train and it is clear his actions were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people’s lives"

As a son of a train driver of nearly 40 years who spent a great deal of his career actively fighting improvements in safety on the railway, he would be proud of the way the driver and train crew acted in this horrific incident.

Exactly, and the fact that a crew member heroically helped & undoubtedly saved lives & is now fighting for their life in hospital. I remember many being frustrated at the rail strikes - but one of the v things they were fighting for was to keep crew on trains. We can see this come home to roost 😞.

I put my life in their hands every time I get on a train. They know every bump, corner, tunnel, what is normal, what is not. In the dark, fog, snow, 5 O'clock in the morning and 9 O'clock in the evening. Worth every penny.

Listening to reports, putting himself in harm's way to protect his customer's lives, pretty much fits the criteria. Brave man. As you say, let's hope he pulls through.

"This casualty is a member of LNER rail staff who was on the train at the time and tried to stop the attacker. Detectives have reviewed the CCTV from the train and it is clear his actions were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people’s lives." www.btp.police.uk/news/btp/new...

You know what - it would be really life affirming if just for once - THIS 👇 was the story

So the assailants on the Train were both born in the UK. Watch Farage completely lose all interest now.

I'm trying to write something up and as part of that I'm digging into some old articles, and I simply don't understand how anyone can exist and not think Stephen Miller is a total psychopath. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Didn’t used to be that way, there used to be quite a bit of contention between the regular White House correspondents and the press secretary. That was the normal dynamic, regardless of party. Now it’s a love fest between a fascist Barbie doll and Trump‘s running dog fake news repeaters.

The WHITE HOUSE press corp are not reporters…the majority are allowed to be there because they DON’T ask the hard questions, they soft ball everyone!!!

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

I know the world won’t care because it’s not some EVIL thing Trump just did, but yesterday I marathon streamed for 11 hours and raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they say will provide 100,000 meals for people in need.

Trump is following Hitler’s playbook. Substituting the name Trump for Hitler, and the words, antifa for communists, masked ICE agents for German police, Republican for Nazi, and the Insurrection for Enabling, reveals the parallel.
