Am heutigen 28. Oktober begeht man in den USA, im Rahmen der kuriosen Feiertage, den Tag der wild wachsenden Nahrung (National Wild Foods Day) wie diese Seite (www.kuriose-feiertage.de/tag-der-wild...) zu berichten weiss. Ob dazu auch Spaghetti zählen? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_...

"Opposition parties need a leader, not just a platform, and here are my thoughts as to who will inspire and lead America into a true golden age of prosperity for all" writes Guy Anthony Ayres

The same is true for the UK as @bearlypolitics.co.uk wrote...

Nothing as yet on the BBC News site about the US 'No Kings' rallies today. Hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting & not a word from our national broadcaster. ITV is carrying the story. BBC not fit for purpose when it's deliberately covering up momentous events such as these.

I hereby declare war on premature Christmassing.

Any shop caught doing this before 1st December must be shut down and turned into affordable housing.

A photograph of a group of reform politicians. Including: Richard Tice, Fuhrer Farage, 30p Lee and two others I don’t care to know. There are 5 males in total and 1 woman, with Fuhrer central smiling with his hands out. The red are all in some form of smile except 30p Lee who is most likely wondering where he is and what party is paying him today. Text from the top to the middle says: ‘A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking to punish, to revile, to dehumanise. They’re empty without that.

These people will never face any kind of consequences. But we will. And for a very long time.
Engage your brain and then engage your rage towards the problem, not the distraction.

On 9/16/25, celebrate a date of mathematical beauty Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

Congratulations to everyone who gave out and proudly displayed EU Flags at tonight's Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall!

Sady, following today's Idiot Rally in Central London, our own national flag is no longer a symbol of unity and pride.

But this one is! 🇪🇺

Funding for Cambridgeshire river and cathedral near approval Paul Bristow says it is

People have been trapped on houseboats for months, but the council did nothing until the punting companies (quite rightly) start complaining, and (miracle) there's money.

The Belly of Paris Although he managed to escape Paris – and starvation – during the Prussian siege in the fall of 1870, the French novelist Émile Zola returned to the city in March 1871, in time to witne…

"Often identified as the first gastronomic novel, the Belly of Paris is more than a foodie reverie, it’s a political cri de coeur. In page after page thick with luscious descriptions of cabbages, turbots, and boudin noirs, he strives to convey the moral ambiguity of the French cult of gastronomy."

Thanks for asking Jane. In truth l’ve been better (currently in hospital after a knee op), but, as my old Granny used to say, worse things happen at sea. And you?

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

He had planned to return to Ireland in December, but was briefly unable to fly due to a health issue, his medical records show. He was only three days overdue to leave the US when an encounter with police landed him in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody. Continue reading...
