Chesters Hill Fort in East Lothian in Scotland was probably built in the first millennium BC, and was occupied into the Roman occupation of Britain in the early centuries of the first millennium AD. The remains of several houses are visible within the fort. #HillfortsWednesday

I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic
It won't matter because, like Trump, anything Farage doesn't like will be labelled "fake".
Just look at the Congressional hearing going on with Kennedy.
It's farcical.
But it's good for clicks online and that's all that matters to the media.

It may not be a 'statutory entitlement' to car-driving legislators, but universal public transport is a fundamental part of any civilised society...

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

These people are jealous but they should think themselves lucky. Being as gorgeous as you and I can be an absolute curse sometimes.

Collage, on the left is unit 7032 on the last day of D78 stock operation at Earl's Court platform 3, and on the right the same unit at the same location with Joe Brown driving it.
#OnThisDay 9 years ago the last D78 Stock ran in normal service for LU (they still survive on the Isle of Wight, Borderlands Line and Greenford branch). Here's 7032 on the last day at Earl's Court buff.ly/UbjL81i and me driving the same unit, same place, 17 years before.
Archaeologists in southern Georgia uncovered 168+ sites — settlements, forts, and burials — on the Javakheti Plateau, revealing a long-lasting, mobile civilization (3500 BC–medieval) with repeated occupation, trade links, and complex highland life

Photo of yellow crepuscular rays stretching down onto a puddle of yellow light on dark blue sea in front of the outline of a small humped island silhouetted against an orange stripe of sunset sky. In the foreground, bare trees are silhouetted against those pastel blue sea nearer the shore.
Sunset over Ynys Enlli / Bardsey Island just now.
This is real, on the I-Player 20/04/26, Breakfast News 6 minutes 20ish into the programme. This is enraging and hard to believe anyone thought this was impartial.
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

This is my poster for Doctor Who: The Gunfighters. It features the First Doctor holding a gun, coloured in blue and red, with little figures behind him, coloured in blue. The background is a light yellow. On the top left, it says "All he wanted was a dentist. He got a shootout instead." On First Doctor's body, it says "William Hartnell, in a episode directed by Rex Tucker", "The Gunfighters - a Doctor Who original", 16mm - Black & White" and "With Peter Purves & Jackie Lane". On the bottom, it says all the other cast members in the episode. My watermark is on the bottom left corner.
NEW ARTWORK!
It's been 60 years since Dr. Who visited Tombstone for a dental emergency and what he got instead was a gunfight. Yeee-haw!! 🤠🐎
My group of artist friends wanted to make posters for The Gunfighters for its anniversary, so I had to join and make one! #DoctorWho #WilliamHartnell
I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".
Tories have selective memories. The serial liar Boris Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary by Theresa May having failed his security vetting. He then ‘evaded’ his minders to attend a party overseen by the Russian FSB, and promoted a Russian agent to the HoL. Where was the outrage from the MSM?
