But then I couldn't vote in any leadership election.
Change comes from within.

A study finds that deep sleep rewires the brain to eliminate anxiety.

My own study suggests that anxiety rewires the brain to eliminate deep sleep.

Weird. I'm pretty sure that before and during quite a lot of the Tudor period nobody in Britain ate turkey at all, ever.
I'd wager that turkey only became the most popular xmas meat in the 20th century.
Beef or gammon are more traditional, no?

In 2023, 173 people in Surrey reported finds to the PAS, equal to 5.7% of the membership of this club + I'm sure there's plenty of other detectorists in Surrey, showing once again that despite claims to the contrary, only a tiny minority of detectorists report any finds to the PAS #ancientbluesky

My membership was renewed last month. If it were this month I would not have. My only hope is a left wing candidate in a leadership election. But that is a slim hope.

Just as the BLM movement showed us who is actually racist, and the MeToo movement showed us who is actually misogynist, the reaction to the Epstein Files is showing us who actually
thinks sex with minors isn’t that big of a deal.

Did you know Liechtenstein was the only country to come back from war with more soldiers than had left for war?

And if you did believe that video, you can relax

No one other than the council can decide who can and can’t sell alcohol or have music licenses

Not to mention that the Muslim behind the mosque has been busy adding bars and restaurants to the rest of the Trocadero for years! 🍷🍹

Much like the British grooming gangs. The perps are treated VERY differently, as are everybody with the same ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Odd that Musk and Fox 'news' went on about brown muslims in English villages but not about white billionaires in McMansions. I wonder why?

A black and white cat is trying to sleep on a white and russet duvet. His paw is covering his nose and his unusually straight tale is touching his ear. White belly fluff is poking out.

In agricultural archaeology we say fertile crescent, but not many laymen know where that is.

The Irony of Hitler’s Junk A slightly different take on the news that Hitler’s DNA reveals some genetic anomalies. The most interesting thing to me is that history has a profound capability for irony.

Good piece here by @adamrutherford.bsky.social , as I'd expect.

If I remember correctly, the pope gave a special dispensation to those football players who crashed in the Andies.
I would guess it's a legal grey area in most places, with people charged with things like murder or improper disposal of a body rather than cannibalism when it's not cos of starvation.

Is it just me or are more and more replies on this site just rephrasing the post or reply they are replying to, more verbosly and very gramatically correctly?
Am is me just getting paranoid and seeing AI everywhere or is AI everywhere?
