New Friday routine: breakfast in The Green Man & watch the world go by for 1/2 hour.

Seagulls are big here (Folkestone)

Who should be in charge of the Louvre robbery case?

On retreat in the middle of nowhere in Kent. Just scored a tasty Chinese though, so that’s a win.

The fact that Sadiq has cut vehicle emissions by a phenomenal amount and made the air cleaner for people to breathe healthy air after about 200 years is an astonishing achievement. More than any other London mayor has ever done. No more children dying from pollution related illnesses.

Sprog2 has a lizard that wants all the cuddles.

‘Spooky month’ is for me thanksgiving month. Harvest is one of the most important themes of the year- if we don’t give thanks for the blessings we have, all the that we lack seems to be overwhelming.

Achievement unlocked- Proper Sarf-Londoner: ordered crab sticks in the club.

We have a bar lizard now. Can’t decide whether to call them Norm or Morn.

Testify!

We're ruining (or improving) Bond posters on @b3ta.com this week

🚴John Betjeman said that it was worth cycling 40 miles in a headwind to see them. 🪽The early C16th Angel Roof at St Wendreda in Cambs is adorned with over 100 oaken angels.

My Uber is here.

Licence to ill.

Most of the reporting today basically boiled down to: A tad depressing, but at least we’ve dragged the press beyond Connery to Moore, I guess.

My brain at 3 in the morning: Hey hey, where can you find conspiring chickens? Me: where? My brain: … a chicken coup :3

XENO MORPH

This erm exists.…..

24 years ago, somehow.

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

End of a long week.

"Careful, buddy. That foreigner wants your cookie." [Via Robert Reich]

“I’m trying to find a monastery where all the monks are over six foot five” “That’s a tall order”

Autumn sun worshippers.

Me lit up at the Foodbank. Snapped by one of the volunteers.

Happy Earth, Wind and Fire Day to all who celebrate!

Spots Pat Tallman in an episode of DS9: “A stunt’s about to happen” Pat flies across the sickbay.

Can’t recommend David Bryne’s new album, Who Is The Sky highly enough. A blast of joy in the midst of the world’s current darkness.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

Thought this was a Blockbuster for a minute. Big disappointment.

Never a dull moment on Bromley Road.

Immigration is a net contributor to the UK economy. The only difference in academic studies is by how much. Pass it on.

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr:

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

Some wholesome Trek content to start the week right #startrek #tng #voyager #ds9

Desperate for a cuppa, but pinned whilst writing my sermon by this oaf.

Received many DMs asking me about this week’s #strangenewworlds episode and why I won’t be reviewing it with @strangenewpod.com - here’s the short (and the long?) answer 🖖🏾 #startrek #startrekpodcast PART 1 :

Why can't the whole government be talking like this? Instead of working so hard to look like reform

I'm sorry I let down all the members of the Tommy Wiseau novelisation book club. I clearly didn't read the room

Post a movie from the year you were born:

The man in the photo, Justin Normand, shared a post of his own, identifying himself as a Presbyterian and reflecting on what motivated him to make the show of support to his Muslim neighbors. (2016) sojo.net/articles/tex...

Happy St Bartholomew's Eve to those who celebrate. #DoctorWho

That’s just too many words for “is racist”

Finish watching the latest Alien Earth episode & it suggests I might enjoy 1979’s Alien. I mean, there’s an off-chance I will.

I hope that moving church doesn't go rogue and start eating up smaller, slower-moving churches.
