So important, lost my husband suddenly when my child was 4. It took much longer than 18 months to get back on track financially, emotionally. It's all so devastating anyway, add economic stress and it's an absolute shit storm

This is where all intelligent life exists in the universe. They know about us, but keep their heads down, cos we're the embarrassing uncle that just acts nuts and fucks everything up

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

A poignant moment #Artemis 🔭🧪

PHOTO OF THE DAY: Perhaps of the greatest photos ever taken. Captured by the crew of Artemis II this morning, looking at all of us through the window of the Orion capsule. The outline of the window is faintly visible in the photo. Breathtaking. (📸 NASA)

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

At 3AM, November 17, 1973, "The Colonels" sent a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It had been occupied by students protesting the fascist junta. Dozens died, mostly teens, 20s and one boy of 5. Over 2,000 were injured. The protests it sparked brought down the dictatorship.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇 1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK 2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves 3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

Describe a character in Greek mythology the way someone trying to defend a politician would. I’ll start. Oedipus: Like you’ve never had sex with someone and regretted it later

But supporting Palestine Action does make you a terrorist.

Friends, for your Friday, here's a new image of planets being born.

As the Gaza famine death toll rises, UK imports of Israeli fruit and veg have soared - £51.3m in just three months, up from £29.1m. While Palestinians starve, Israel’s agricultural exports to Britain are booming. Full story by ‘Slicker’ in the latest issue.

Here’s some dog content to temporarily distract you from the mess happening in the world

Here's an idea politicians! Why not chase the votes of the majority rather than a minority of racist thugs. Crazy thought I know.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

A volleyball game, at the beachbar next door, racks up at least 50 "μαλακά" per hour

NEW: 549 Palestinians now killed in the last 30 days. Itself shocking. But, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS KILLED AT A FOOD AID STATION. A unique war crime. Firing squads using aid as bait. Palestinians in #Gaza face two choices: starve to death, or risk death to get food. 🧵

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza. Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

Thank goodness everyone agrees we should crack down on tube fare dodgers. That'll stop them avoiding taxes, crashing the economy, dismantling the NHS, polluting our water, pocketing huge bonuses, making billions from dodgy government contracts, and buying yachts. About time.

This is incredibly powerful from the WHO’s Emergencies Director, Dr Mike Ryan, on the world doing nothing as the children of Gaza die. “This is an abomination.” (🎥 Middle East Eye)

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Greece became a net exporter of electricity last year, but at a cost for Greek energy consumers. Essentially, what occurred, was that Greek consumers paid high electricity prices to strengthen the electricity systems of neighboring countries. www.ekathimerini.com/economy/ener...

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

[making small talk with Ancient Greek Soldier who fought at Troy] ME: so... AGS: ME: Oh! You did the thing with the big wooden horse right? AGS: yeah that was us ME: loved that AGS: yeah? ME: I talk about Trojan horses all the time AGS: sorry WHAT horses? ME: AGS: WHAT horses ME:...oh no
