A huge pile of rock, chalk and soil that has fallen from the sized cliff side to resemble a frowning, aquiline-nosed, bearded man

A huge pile of rock, chalk and soil that has fallen from the sized cliff side to resemble a frowning, aquiline-nosed, bearded man

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

I watch it on discovery+ app! No need for a login too which is very handy indeed.

Noone ever speaks about streaming but a chunk of us stream rather than watch "live" nowadays

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’

It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

So let me get this right, they're going to bring back the two child cap but they're also going to give incentives to women that have more than one child? 😂

Clear view of Euston station concourse devoid of its departure trees

Morning all Monday is here again

If you pass through Euston you’ll now see the second inside departure tree has now been removed leaving the concourse clear again .

The outside trees remain whilst the former inside one have been stored for use elsewhere

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.

If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?

Few people asking how to relax their toes.

Lay (or sit) down. Stretch and tense your toes for 3 secs. You'll feel what muscles that uses.

Release the stretch and focus on letting those muscles you felt go.

It should feel like its beneath your toes, back of the foot and weirdly your lower back

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

There's something very satisfying about the noise Duolingo makes when you hit your streak milestone

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

PwC somehow more lucid on AI and education than most university leaders these days

personally i'd just ask my wife what she's called. sorry if that's 'woke'

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

I am HERE for my regular* Olympic national uniform watch at the flag parade, and it's the winter one so look out for superb coats. #WinterOlympics

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

"Pull factors" on steroids.

Bannon's involvement in Brexit was well documented, but nobody cared. The right wing media wants to carry on the Brexit charade at any cost so will continue to con people gullible enough to believe Brexit was ever about the interests of the people.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Almost halfway!

Dara looking very surprised infront of the Mock the Week logo as he's advertising the very show I'm halfway through watching

My favourite thing about Mock the Week being on TLC is that you now get adverts..

...which are seemingly just @daraobriain.bsky.social advertising Mock the Week.. whilst in the middle of watching Mock the Week
