Well…

Objectively true, I suppose

Worth remembering that when he turns up here

An early morning balm for imposter syndrome.

Often thought this trend was dangerous.

Some feasts for the eyes here. No wonder you don’t see grapefruit around much anymore.

Reports of up to 40 planes having been damaged, 4,000km from Ukraine, with FPV drones. If I were in charge of any major air force at the moment, I’d probably need to breath into a paper bag. Warfare is undergoing a revolutionary transformation akin to what we saw in WW2.

The Crick is paying £800,000 in visa fees alone. Britain is choosing to turn inwards, away from the world, and to destroy its own future. That is not Britain. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

A bold first move by the Pope would be to post an AI generated image of himself as POTUS.
