BREAKING 🚨: COP30 is flooded with 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists. One in every 25 people inside the climate talks is working for the industry that caused this crisis. They outnumber almost every country, including those losing lives to storms, drought and heat.

The Fermi paradox asks why we've yet to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The odds are we should! A NASA scientist suggests that "alien societies might plateau at modest technological levels and even grow bored with exploration." www.sciencefocus.com/news/aliens-...

Not to be this guy but I’m not sure doubling down on “climate change isn’t an existential threat to human society” is the most effective evidence-based, play-it-cool messaging that climate scientists have ever come up with

Do please free to share this post far and wide :-) Just how on earth do you get traffic to a website? Seems this is the domain of marketing and biznessey people. I've never been good at that tbh. Meantime, I need to earn next week's beer and can of beans. Cheers. When I'm rich, I'll buy you a beer.

Check out the latest chapter in my new series, Inside the Kremlin’s Global Far-Right Operations, on how the Russian Orthodox Church operates as an arm of Russian intelligence services to carry out operations across the West and beyond.

You have to read this. And then tell me you don’t need to read it again, or that you cannot get it out of your head.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Everyone is posting this video of a Ukrainian soldier shooting down a Russian Shahed drone with a "minigun," and it’s a great video worth sharing. I just can’t help thinking that they launch hundreds upon hundreds of those drones at us every single day. Every day!

A national campaign calling for higher taxes on Britain’s wealthiest individuals arrived in Newcastle this week, with the Patriotic Millionaires UK bus pulling up on Market Street in steady rain emblazoned with the message: “Tax us, the super-rich.” 👏👏👏

ICE sent 54 Iranians (dissidents, ethnic minorities, & Christian converts) back to a regime notorious for torture & executions. This marks a chilling new phase in Trump’s disappearances that tramples refugee law, human rights, & America’s reputation as a refuge for the persecuted.

To make you feel better about yourself. 😄

I am becoming really fed up with arrogant, bloody Americans telling my country what we should and shouldn't do. They trash everything with tariffs to bring manufacturing to the US, then object when the UK uses it's own companies to build in the UK?? Get stuffed. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’. But Govts listen to the City type. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.

Contrary to some media reports, heat pumps aren’t new tech — they’ve been around for 100+ years! ✅ First built in 1856 by Peter von Rittinger ✅ Zurich City Hall used one from 1938–2001 ✅ UK’s first in 1945 (Norwich) ✅ ~200 million in use worldwide today

Looks like Russia’s first homegrown robot had one too many before the big reveal… Can’t wait to see what Russian AI can do… 😂😂😂

When they complain about people not wearing red poppies… Disgusting 😡 total lack of respect for what the poppy represents for the men women and children who fought and died for 😡

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The three-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly now exceeds 1.50°C over the pre-industrial baseline, as of November 8, 2025. Are you there, COP 30? It's me, the Paris Agreement.

Nice high heels, Putin!

Acrocephalic [AK-ro-seh-FAL-ik] (adj.) - Having a pointy or conical shaped head. (n.) - A person with a pointy head. Used in a sentence: “I stopped watching Saturday Night Live around the time they stopped featuring the acrocephalic family from France.”

It surprises me that governments like that of the UK, which Musk is openly attempting to topple, continue to use Twitter/X for official comms.

Only in the USA could a parasite like Elon Musk make billions by the exploiting the genius and ingenuity of others, claim it as his own, finance the most corrupt politicians in history and be worshipped by a bunch of knuckle dragging pulpit pounders living in trailer parks.

This morning at the Remembrance Sunday service at our parish church, I read Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est. It is an excoriatingly angry poem and I delivered it as such. If what war does to human beings, especially the young, does not make you incandescently angry there is something wrong.

Wake up, silly Scots.

This is a billionaire who understood the assignment.

2m UK pensioners live in poverty, 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension. Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending. Britons receive pension for fewer years than most.
