Impossible watching Strictly with this attention seeking madam in front of you. She loves teasing the ball then grabs it before you can 😁

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The Doomstone at York Minster is a remarkable survival from the 12th century, a fragment of the earlier Norman cathedral carved with a chilling vision of the Last Judgement. In the scene, demons drag sinners toward the gaping mouth of Hell, while a cauldron bubbles with the

A display of two ancient bronze cupping cups hanging from a delicate, metal stand  in the shape of grapevine with a round base. The cups have a weathered greenish patina. The setup is showcased against a dark background.

A grave of a Roman physician in Bingen dating to the 2nd c. AD contained a remarkable set of medical instruments, including cupping cups with a stand in the shape of a grapevine.
These cups were used for therapeutic suction or bloodletting, a practice with deep roots in Greco-Roman . 🧡1/ 2

An old advertisement sign in what is now the cafe. It is headed Bexhill West Station. The first part is obscured by a table so I can’t read it clearly but judging by the end of the words it says tea coffee bovril. The next part says chocolates sweets. Fruit pies 3 and a half d each. The last part reads tobacco cigarettes newspapers. Underneath it says railway Cos.

The old Bexhill West station is worth a visit. It was opened in 1902 by the South East & Chatham Railway. As part of the infamous Beeching cuts it closed in 1964. It’s now home to a cafe and an antiques shop but the interior is barely changed.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you β€” no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Being murdered doesn’t change who a person was. They’re still a hate spewing, conspiracy spouting idiot. Just a dead one.

I tell people that science is the miracle they’ve been praying for. He’s never going to reach down out of the clouds and do it for us. He blessed us with the ability to discover, to learn, and to seek out answers, and rejecting science is rejecting the One Who made us intelligent.

Typical. America’s leader announces everyone in Ireland is dead & I live on my own. I didn’t get to see the rapture! Why am I being cancelled & why are there all these dead birds in my flat? Why is it middle aged White men in Dublin who must suffer most? Seriously what’s with the dead birds?
