Why is the number 33 called Sherwood Forest in Bingo? - All the trees!

"Shove thy neighbour" - Republican Jesus

He told one biographer, ‘I don’t like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see." This indicates either extraordinary restraint and self awareness or an utter lack thereof. Or both.

I suspect this might less a function of requiring very little sleep than of Trump’s agitation at being unable to manipulate his unconscious. Four hours might be as much loss of control as he can tolerate. We’ll never know and neither will Trump...

"It is deeply unfair to say that Trump lies all the time, I would never suggest that he lies when he’s asleep. On the other hand, he famously gets by on only four hours a night...

I have a habit of buying books and leaving them to gather dust. Separated this lot from the bookshelf and plan on working my way through. In reality I may have just moved them from one shelf to another 😬 #Booksky

The Ramnamis of Chhattisgarh: Wearing Ram in Defiance of Casteism | Sahapedia The Ramnami community of Chhattisgarh is a low-caste religious movement whose followers tattoo their bodies, including in some cases eyelids, with the name of Lord Ram. The movement, which is more tha...

The Ramnami community of Chhattisgarh stuck two fingers up at casteism & not being allowed into temples by tattooing the name of Nirgun (unmanifest) Ram all over themselves and reciting the Ramcharitmanas daily to display & remind higher castes that God is omnipresent and accessible to everyone #RAM

The mysterious black fungus from Chernobyl that may eat radiation Mould found at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster appears to be feeding off the radiation. Could we use it to shield space travellers from cosmic rays?

Life finds a way. Scientists say a black fungus discovered in Chernobyl seems not just to survive but to “eat” radiation, using it like energy in a process called “radiosynthesis”. Could this weird adaptation help clean nuclear sites, or even shield astronauts from cosmic rays? #Science #Chernobyl

Ancient DNA studies show that the originators of the Indo‑European languages, spoken in 400+ languages worldwide lived 6,500 years ago in what’s now Russia’s lower Volga Caucasus region. Their descendants (the Yamnaya) spread across Eurasia, carrying those languages far and wide.

NHS/CAMHS waiting times are a joke, so if this review actually fixed that, it would matter. It could also highlight the social factors driving mental health issues. I know right wing parties would review this too, so want to believe Labour’s approach will be fairer, though I’m not holding my breath.

Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnoses The health secretary says the aim is to tackle a rising demand for services and pressure on the NHS.

As a father of AuDHD children, I’m a bit concerned about Wes Streeting’s review of mental health & ADHD diagnoses. Feels like a knee jerk reaction to rightwing political rhetoric and I fear it could justify cuts to support. Still, part of me hopes it leads to something better...

One of only three in the world's Slave Bible's, an abridged version of the Holy Bible that was heavily redacted, removing passages that might encourage rebellion such as the Israelites escape from slavery. Published by the Society for the Conversion and Religious Education of Negro Slaves, an organisation founded by Bishop Beilby Porteus who was, paradoxically an abolitionist.

"The Slave Bible" One of only 3 in the world @ The Bodleian Library Oxford. Designed to convert in a way that encouraged loyalty & obedience to enslavers by removing passages that might encourage rebellion such as the Israelites escape from slavery in Exodus
