Proud to say that I managed a mathematical heckle at a science comedy night.

Collections: This. Isn’t. Sparta. Part I: Spartan School This is Part I of a seven part series (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, Gloss., Retrospective) comparing the popular legacy of Sparta (embodied in films like 300) with the historical ancient state. Toda…

Anyway, if you want to read too many words on why Sparta was terrible and people who like Sparta are terrible for liking Sparta, check it out: acoup.blog/2019/08/16/collections-this-isnt-sparta-part-i-spartan-school/

Do they have an alibi?

Breaking news: man who could end world hunger and make serious roads into contesting climate change but instead chooses to make porn-AI accessible and cheerlead for fascists can’t work out why he’s not happy. 🧐

Into That Darkness A Cautionary Tale

A cautionary tale from history:

Opened the TripAdvisor app on my phone to see it was logged in with someone else's profile!

I once saw the Labour Foreign Office minister, Robin Cook, in a church in Florence. No bodyguards. I considered haranguing him about Iraq, but decided against it. He resigned on principle a week or two later. So I am glad I didn't.

Sing like no one is listening.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Email like you are going to be included in the Epstein files.

Say what you will about Hitler, at least he knew which countries he was invading.

My PADI Open Water certfication card looks rather faded. PADI want $56 for an electronic version to add to my phone! I don't think so.

My son likes likes to put pineapple on his pizza to troll his Italian flat mates.

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

So to be clear we have actually reached the point where NATO states are deploying tripwire forces to deter *another NATO state* from invading *another NATO state.*

I struggle to communicate the strategic and just regular insanity of this moment.

It is the Templar cross, with all the baggage that implies.

Last year, London recorded just 97 homicides, a record-low rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people. Lower than Paris, New York and Berlin. Don't believe all the BS about 'no go zones'.

Do they mine eyeliner in Greenland?

Legs too close together for a proper power pose. Suggest you study Brian Cox for some tips.

It was rather careless of the USA to put so much of their oil reserves under Venezuelea.

Maybe the Nazis were just playing the long game?

Not even policeman. Gangster perhaps.

My garden Robin, waiting to be fed.

Bandit at 12 o'clock.

Pigeons are not my favourite animal, but they are beautiful in their own way.

Urban deer.

A (rather unwell looking) fox in our garden, this morning.

I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.

Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.

Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

Looking at my water bills since 2007, the cost of a m^3 of water has gone from £0.99 to £2.47 (249%) and waste water has gone from £0.48 to £1.54 (320%). Inflation went up 70% in the same period. Thames Water is taking the piss in more ways than one & the government is letting them get away with it.

Will it be painted gold, with chandeliers?
