Deranged? That’s Elon Musk FRS

@royalsociety.org

I've seen comments along the lines of why did the police not shoot the perpetrators of the #Huntingdon atrocity, because it's cheaper to kill them straight away than keep them 50 in gaol.

Turns out, that may not have been a good idea...

It’s a great article Leo

Graph showing: Total number of hydrogen-powered cars in the Norwegian fleet

Norway's fleet of hydrogen fuel-cell passenger cars has halved in size since its peak less than three years ago. The all-time peak was 0.0084% of the fleet.

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"

But I'm not sure he would get the reference

President Trump hosts a lavish “Great Gatsby” themed party at Mar-a-Lago on the eve of millions of Americans losing their essential food benefits~😡
How appropriate…
“The Great Gatsby” published in 1925, takes place during the Roaring ’20s and explores the moral decay of the rich.

Ironclad proof that these people never read a book.

Just because Halloween is over, it doesn't mean Christmas starts. First we have:

Nov 5
Bonfire Night

Nov
Remembrance Sunday

Nov 18 - Nov 24
World Nursery Rhyme Week 2024

Nov 19
World Toilet Day 2024

Dec 10
Lager Day 2024

Dec 18
Roast Suckling Pig Day 2024

Then we can start Christmas 😁

Plus putting 1 GW into pumped storage and flogging 2 GW to our neighbours

The single platform at Trimley to the left, a disused second platform to the right. The right hand track serves only the port now. White on blue station name board on the left.

I’ve made it to Trimley. Not a whole lot here expect a lovely running-in board and the branch line into Felixstowe port. Hope a train to Ipswich in about half and hour and maybe a freight train first.

Map of the area around Blue Bsrn Farm with a brown 20 m contour line encircling my position.

I’ve summitted, at a little over 20 m. Total elevation gain for the whole 13.8 km walk will have been 30 m. What a work out!

Red Hawthorn berries

Mulberries perhaps. Not my specialist subject

Rose hips

Single track lane, somewhat sunken with hedgerows and overhanging trees

Hips and berries and lanes.

He’s so close but you know he’ll never get there…

Salt march at low tide

Farmland, dykes, reeds and pumping station.

Quite a stretch of this walk is below sea level. How very Dutch.

Empty mussel shell pairs on shingle

Golf green with a red flag

Mussel shells, mermaid’s purse and a good walk spoiled

Waves running up a shingle beach, row of painted beach huts beyond and just a little blue sky

Sun trying to poke through the clouds and reflecting of a grey sea

A lie surfer in amongst the surf with a black and orange kite above

A Martello Tower on the seashore and another just visible in the distance

Beach huts; reflected sun; kite-surfers and Martello Towers (tricky bloke the Napoleon, can’t be too careful even after all these years)

The promenade at Felixstowe back lit by a setting sun. The beach is empty; there was a cold wind blowing. A pier is just visible in the distance.

A foreshore of sand and single beach and beyond the massive cranes of the port. A massive green hulled contain ship sits beneath the cranes. It’s the Ever Greet

Stacks of brown and yellow containers with a port lorry shuffling on from one place to another.

Map showing my route today that circles Felixstowe Marshes and finishes at Trimley station for my journey home

I’m having a day out Felixstowe and walking Felixstowe Marshes. No really; @diamondgeezer.bsky.social blogged it. Gawped at ships and cranes last night. Real The Wire Season 2 vibes. There’s. Be more nature today.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

I’m sorry, but they’re not.

Stupidity and royal self-entitlement sank Andrew, and it may not be over yet Indulged by his mother and ignored for too long by his siblings, it is behaviour like Andrew’s that could ultimately kill the monarchy

Quite the sign off for this article “Ultimately it is entitlement, self-seeking and indolence that will kill the monarchy. In his stupidity, self-indulgence and venality, Andrew seems never to have learned that lesson.”

I was accidentally more flippant than intended once but pleased. Present was badly over-time, I said he had to skip to the conclusion slide; he said that the next two slides were the most important and without thinking I said that then perhaps they shouldn't be slides 32 and 33 in 15 minute talk.

I once physically disconnected the hdmi cable from the presenter's computer after multiple calls that the time was over and he had to come to a conclusion.
I don't remember who the guy was, but I can only assume he now hates me. On the other hand, now everyone wants me to chair their session 😉

I had a dude who overran and after 3 warnings I stood up and sang the little theme from Countdown when the time runs out. He was embarrassed. I was slightly embarrassed. Most of the audience thought it was hilarious.

It's like encouraging your kids to yell their heads off at a pantomime but sushing them up in the cinema. Handling contradictions and exceptions might even be the point.

UK laws and traditions continue to be both rigid and flexible at the same time. Until yesterday I have read numerous times that the title prince could not be removed, as that denotes the son of a queen/king. And then - just like that - it was removed by the King.

No Princes

I’d rather that was all in one go, but I’ll settle for one at time.
