Watch The Widower | Netflix A charming husband hides dangerous secrets as financial deceit and staged accidents unravel a real-life story of manipulation, betrayal and murder.

"The Widower" came out in 2014, I don't watch TV so missed it then.
I watched it last night.
Phenomenal
@reeceshearsmith.bsky.social is an incredible actor, terrifying with a slight change of expression and muscle twitch.
It's a dark subject but therapeutic watch.

Is this one of those
“Roses are pricey, violets are cheaper” type headlines

Solidarity with the staff at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social, the people who actually make the place work, in the face of wretched management.

why the apostrophes?

Even as a Tory I must admit Reform MPs are devoted to serving their constituencies. For example Lee Anderson selling his ‘funny’ 30p football shirts in Ashdown & Nigel Farage’s outstanding work in Clacton.
Oh & here is Richard Tice working hard in his constituency of Skegness.

Tony Blair reportedly dropped from Trump’s Gaza ‘board of peace’ shortlist - what? they don't want a war criminal?

No Prince Philip either

I think amounts in publications are written down to up the word count - silly things like, `one eighth of a teaspoonful'!

Yes Alom, and I think there is fear involved at stepping aside from the herd.

And 100% of Labour MPs are doing fuck all about it.
Listen to your remaining members Labour.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

Another hell hole pig fHarm 👺Pigs covered with and lying in their own excrements 😱Why are you still consuming animal flesh? Why are you still supporting this? #LiveVegan stop the abuse in your name 🙏

Since the 1970s there has been a 71% decline in shark and ray species
Shark finning is the cruel practice of removing any fins from a shark (including the tail) before discarding the remainder of the shark at-sea to die a cruel miserable death

Can't even spell Hackney.

But still the MSM scream about how good he is. How bad Labour are doing & Nigel will save the country. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. It’s brainwashing. We all know how bad it will be if Farage comes to power. However, most of the electorate are brain dead anyway. As you said, they voted for Boris

If Christopher Harborne can afford to hand fascist Nigel Farage £9million he can afford to pay more tax, the little fucking parasite.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Americans will no longer get free entry to federal parks on Martin Luther King Day.

They will, however, on Trump’s June 14 birthday.

Literally the sort of thing dictators do.

My favourite! Here’s another fabulous ‘berserker ’ chomping away at the National Museum of Scotland

My photo collage shows a selection of bishop and warder chess pieces finely carved from creamish-coloured walrus ivory, dated c. 1150-1200 AD. Found in a large gaming hoard on the Isle of Lewis. On display at the British Museum. Photo top left: Two bishops and a warder. All standing. The bishops wear long garments, mitres, and hold a crozier with both hands. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and a conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces. He’s armed with a sword and kite-shaped shield inscribed with a lozenge shaped cross. Photo top right: A so-called ‘berserker’ warder chess piece. Standing, wearing a long garment and hood, armed with sword and a shield decorated with an interlaced saltire.

Photo bottom left: A standing warder and two seated bishops, one of which is partly obscured by the warder. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces, is armed with sword and shield.

The Lewis Chessmen

These 12th-century chess pieces are packed with personality, and have such charmingly expressive eyes! ♟️ 👀

This series shows how a damselfly reaches a dewdrop on a horsetail stem, turns its head, touches its eye to the drop, and brings it onto its face for a drink.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature! I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?
