Blakeney Point, Norfolk - a dynamic shingle spit shaped over ~4,000 years by longshore drift. Extending ~6 km from Blakeney, it shelters saltmarsh and shifting tidal creeks. Beautiful but hazardous: fast tides, soft sands & shifting channels. A National Nature Reserve #Blakeney #NorthNorfolk #aerial

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

It’s weird…..at home I refuse to sleep in my dog bed if anything is in it…..

Only 2 more nights and bossies will pick me up! But I’m not complaining, this is the best hotel!

Turning increasingly windy tonight and into Wednesday morning across southwest England The strongest winds are likely around exposed coasts and high ground, with peak gusts of 50-60 mph in a few places and locally higher in the vicinity of Dartmoor

USS Enterprise corridor, Production Design by Jonathan Lee, STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022) "Something I wanted to do from the very beginning was expose the structure of the ship and, where possible, expose the technology... So what would happen if you took off those grey walls in TOS?"

Oh by the way: it’s real and it’s SPECTACULAR.

Duh, no. It’s a wind instrument.

Good morning, everyone! Tuesday mood…

I thought Jamie Oliver did all this 20 years ago..?

Put another way, I think the Jewishness of the army and the state is basically incidental. This is simply what happens when you have a racial supremacist state and a racial supremacist army and a racial supremacist law. The soldiers, regardless of the particulars, will act as if they are supreme.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

The French Revolution was not kind to The Aristocats…

I speak to a lot of people about JK Rowling - many once close friends with her. I was once friends with her. And they all say she is now very changed. To pretend she is not radicalised, to give succour to her views on trans people, is an astonishing thing for Kezia, as Chair of Stonewall, to do.

I'm pretty sure Kezia comes from a well-intentioned place. And I'm all for good faith engagement with people whose minds have been poisoned against trans people. But this is madness: JK Rowling is a toxic sewer of hate, aligned with fascists, and it's unforgivable for Stonewall to praise her.

Another sun-soaked spot , taken up by today's #FoxOfTheDay from Clare Prowse !

So my role at my job is an inspector, I look at CCA's (circuit card assembly) under a scope all day for this kind of damage, and flag it if I find it, to either be scrapped or repaired. I'm not involved at the repair level, so this was fun to watch for me.

This is the best video you’ll see today. In an aquarium in South Korea the otters help cleaning their pool by gathering their toys and get rewarded with ice cubes. 🥰

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Today is #internationalbatday and we have lots of bats around the site (but sadly, no belfries). However, they are notoriously difficult to photograph so we found these instead.

The Ogham stone is a unique and fragile artefact. This battered column is inscribed in Ogham, a Celtic script. It was found in the Roman town of Calleva. View a 3D replica, in stone. In the Art Gallery alongside artwork ‘By Association’ by Adi Toch. 🪦 1995.1.24 Reading Museum #FridayFinds
