A terrible trailer for a bad looking Christ biopic. It doesn't even have Robert Powell in it!

Dickens would have hated this. And the number of actors I like(d) that are voicing this Christofascist propaganda is worrying. Everyone's hard pivoting to the right, it seems.

Black and white photography of the drains, mines, caves and tunnels of the Peaks and Pennines. It'd be awesome.

Just been on the other place and people are rhapsodizing about Dubya Bush because he was slightly chummy to Obama at a funeral. How quickly we forget he was the turn of the century's Trump. And good Christ stop mistaking civility for justice. War criminals smile & laugh, and he's among the worst.

"Pali High" or Palisades Charter High School, which can be seen in films like Freaky Friday (as "Sunset Ridge High School")(2003) and used for exterior shots in Brian DePalma's Carrie (1976), and literally dozens of TV shows and films, burned to the ground tonight.

#Arriva thanks for putting out a tweet saying that there would be no services in the centre of Melbourne today at 8.02 am, half an hour after the only bus that gets anyone to work on time diverted with no warning and left a couple of dozen people stranded. Brilliant. Well worth the extra quid. πŸ™„

It's just occurred to me that I Saw The Devil is the Korean Dead Man's Shoes. You're rooting for him until you realise that he has no interest in the collateral damage, and that he's just as bad, if for very different reasons. But you also want to still see him really hit those guys...

The cat was going spare with his catnip toy at the top of the stairs, so popped up there to check he was okay. His toy was in the centre of the stairs. As I picked it up to throw it him, I looked back downstairs and there was the cat. So now I'm going to sleep on the sofa tonight.

This is a reminder that 30% of California’s firefighters are inmates who are working in dangerous conditions for ~$2 per hour; many of which are not eligible for a job with the dept upon release despite having training & knowledge.

Trump is horrendous and his geopolitical ambitions chilling, but any British person laughing at his 'Gulf of America' schtick should recall that the North Sea was the German Ocean until we got a bit jingoistic about it.

Try being an A level politics teacher right now. I've given up lesson planning, I just stick the news on and weep in the corner.

Got on the bus in Chellaston, took half an hour to get to Swarkestone, and now we're stuck. That's a mile and a bit. Swarkestone Bridge is gridlocked. It's backed up to the A52. The bridge in Repton is shut which isn't helping. Absolutely not Arriva's fault btw. I just need to get across the river!

Oh yes. Repton Bridge is shut so the only river crossing for 15 miles is Swarkestone. Chaos

Traffic chaos in South Derbyshire my ducks, avoid Stanton by Bridge if you can, the roads from Melbourne, Ticknall and Swad are chockablock. River Trent is about the highest I've ever seen it and so the Ingleby road is impossible by all accounts.

Trump wanting Greenland because he doesn’t understand the Mercator projection…we live in the dumbest possible timeline.

This is in a thread on the bad place about Greenland, and I would absolutely put money on the same guys who think that the US is the most undefeatable military force in the world, also being 2A guys who think they're going to overthrow it with their handgun collection.

What's up folks? Today's past explore is the Harvester, a nice little culvert under the dual carriageway on the way into Loughborough. Short and sweet concrete fun!

Today's past explore is the Crypt of St Wystans in Repton, burial place of Mercian Kings, an unbelievable survival under a fairly innocuous parish church!

Today's past explore is Farley Hurker Hermit's cave. Was it the summerhouse for a now demolished hall? A robber's den? A mystic's shelter? Well, after a night using it as a camp site, it was certainly that last one!

Today's past explore is the cave in Portobello Pit, in the Ticknall limeyards near Calke Abbey. An underground extension of a small limestone quarry, it's now flooded, and a bit crumbly...

Today's past explore is the Breach, an astonishingly vivid culvert in Oughtibridge, running beneath railway and works to the river Don. The vivid colours come from ochre which was mined in Wharncliffe Woods.

Yes, it's very accessible but hasn't been trashed - some kids have clearly set up a little chillout zone in there, and fair play to them - but it's in great condition. And because it's more or less exactly east-facing it must get the dawn light a lot!

Today's past explore is the Butterhouse or Ryefield Tunnel, near Manchester, which we popped into a couple of years back. Lovely brickwork!
