The physics of carrying a cup of tea. When we move there are primary accelerations, both linear and rotational, involved in travelling from where the tea is poured to where it's going to wait for you to drink it. And of course there are secondary and lower order movements to consider.

For Israel it's self defence against an existential threat. For Iran it’s "retaliation". #BBC

Someone tell me this is parody. We've already been subjected to half an hour on the Today programme of some Reform idiot who's left the party and then not left after all. Bloody immigrants! The BBC is wall-to wall Reform. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Grok agrees with my prediction (and hope) that Trumpian chaos will cause America's world influence to fade, with EU bureaucracy taking over in the West and China ruling the East. The UK will continue to sink as it chases American favours.

When will Starmer go to jail? Ironic for a human rights lawyer to be jailed for genocide.

It seems that an old mill like this might be able to generate up to 10kW in ideal conditions, so realistically it's in the realms of a typical domestic solar array—and it wouldn't sleep at night. Plenty of space for a pile of batteries too, so scope for energy self sufficiency. That would be fun!

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

ChatGPT admitting as directly as it's allowed that it and western media outlets are censored when it comes to coverage of Gaza.
