All the food looks awesome too!

That stuff is the business - love it! Doesn't always tase the same but it's always been great, and it seems to keep well so fingers crossed for you🤞

Have been very much enjoying this year's one on the right! Powerful stuff with the red wine and peat....

Arrrggghh my eyes......

Skye light

A week away from the autumn equinox and we're blessed with this...
Layers of gold, a whisper of cool wind, moth wings and a soothing peace.

I hope you can find solace wherever you are.

Sunset views across the croft and sea to Skye.

I don’t really understand the FlashScore app’s commitment to being the last bastion of brilliantly terrible tabloid-style pun headlines… but why not.

Working on some academic writing about "bad shark movies," and feeling sad because the bubble may be about to burst.

Sure, 2-headed, 3-headed, 5-headed, and 6-headed shark attack were classics.

But where can they possibly go from here? 7-headed shark attack? No way, that's preposterous.

WTF? Really cool story.

Amazing!

Rainbow in a dark sky.

Well I never... a rainbow appeared before sunrise, created just by the light of an orange and red glow in the east. There's a first time for everything. I've certainly never see such a thing before.

So the lectern photo is genuine - it was taken at St George's Day celebration earlier this year. This is what Starmer said standing there. Seems spot on to me. He should say it again.

Yeah yeah, crawling with tourists blah blah. But that's because it's just an incredible place....Magical photo!

Labour's cowardice in the face of extremism iandunt.substack.com/p/labours-co...

Peep Show gif of Super Hans saying 'People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis'

Yep, but also hard to avoid thinking of this: You can't trust people Jeremy....

Farage is content with allowing people to be murdered and tortured. I'm not on that side and never will be.

Extremely gratifying to see so many people replying with their own favourites, and even more so imagining the bewilderment of people who have never heard of The Far Side.

😂 Definitely feels like something i could overhear in our household.....probably best to forget hearing it🤞

I agree with a lot in this article.

The secret weapon is a referendum on European accession.

This would be transformative.

And Labour does sorely need a game-changer.

The High Court judgement regarding Palestine Action's proscription and the enforcement of the order today from is the most extreme application of terrorism legislation we've yet seen in this country. It's so extreme, in fact, that it's causing the law itself to become openly incoherent. Thread🧵🔽

I guess you've heard some bad jokes about Fibonacci sequences?

Well, this one is as bad as the last two you heard put together.

A man wrapped up against the cold, surveys a frozen plain

The secret German weather station on the Arctic island of Svalbard. Part of the 'Weather War'.

The team, led by Lieutenant Wilhelm Dege, were the last German troops to surrender in WW2, finally doing so FOUR MONTHS after Germany had officially surrendered.

It was not for want of trying. /1

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

I have poked the @rsc.org on X/Twitter a bit over the years (sorry folks...), but huge kudos to them for leaving what has become even more of a toxic and hateful platform www.rsc.org/news-events/... 👏 #chemsky

Nothing bad happens if someone doesn't iron their clothes. It is a total eco-hostile waste of time and energy (both human and literal). There should be a worldwide campaign to outlaw it. People could opt to wear a little badge that shows "I'm creased because I care".

Have never yet made it to one of the lochs on Arran, but this looks amazing!

Whatever the history, it's an amazing spot. Ended up there close to sunset a good few years ago because we set off on the walk v late and it was spectacular!
