Searched my photo gallery for "Malta", hoping to find pictures of a recent trip. Technically this does contain "Malta", but it's so not what I meant

Nice

A great and terrifying chart from ten years ago

Sitting at the railway station in Crewe for an hour and a half is an essential part of travelling in this country (looking at you, Avanti West Coast)

Jenny Ortega stars as Wednesday on Wednesday (other days are also available)

The Economist features on the connecting wall, not for its erudite news analysis but for its meteorological suffix

Look ma, we made it!

What's that? You need a 2026 wall calendar with #maps? Try this for size. I get to be Mr February (Cheysson reproduction) and Mr July (Mars). Other months exist.

How big of a cat?

Fair enough, but that one looks more like Governor Elbridge Gerry than a salamander!

Printed in March 1812, this political cartoon was made in reaction to the newly drawn state senate election district of South Essex created by the Massachusetts legislature to favor the Democratic-Republican Party. The caricature satirizes the bizarre shape of the district as a dragon-like "monster", and Federalist newspaper editors and others at the time likened it to a salamander.

Had Federalist newspaper editors ever seen a salamander??

Shocking revelation about *checks notes* killer whales

Vladimir Putin killed this little girl

I connected to the WiFi then turned my hotspot on and connected the Firestick to that. I'm assuming it's all going through the WiFi. If I get a multi-thousand-pound data bill, I will of course update this thread🤞

The kid's reaction to a previous contestant's opinion ("she doesn't even go here!") has made it all worthwhile

Laertes and Anticlea might disagree

The hotel wifi connection settings are inaccessible via the Firestick controls, unfortunately

Mate, I've connected to this WiFi one (1) time and it's stayed connected at the pool, the beach and even the local supermarket!! I'm suspicious too but I'm saying nowt
