Picture of Earth taken by the Artemis II mission

Ich see trees of grene
Redde roses too
Ich see them bloome
For me and you
And Ich thynke to myselfe
What a wondirful worlde

Ich see welkin blue
And cloudes of whyte
The brighte blessid daye
The darke sacred nighte
And Ich thynke to myselfe
What a wondirful worlde

Tut.

Somebody recently disagreed with my appraisal of the performance of the UK labour party. This site is doomed.

I love the first episode where you can tell Sisko hates the absolute fuck out of Picard for killing his wife while Borgified and I think it struck such a clear note about what DS9 would be: it would embrace the open mindedness and dream of utopia while also showing the damage of actual life

Ptoo-DING!

ok if we just shut up and give them this one then play the long game, it opens up a lot of poetic irony come 2028

Good but where is the money being taxed going? Build houses and fund public services is not in this copy pasta

may you live in interesting times

If that were really true then something effective would have been done about it a long time ago. They are not powerless. Build houses, tax corporations and the wealthy more, fund public services properly. All of this is possible with MPs who are not in the pockets of the people hoarding wealth.

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

David Hughes tweet, 2015 Judas: still on for Friday? Jesus: Friday? Judas: yeah, the last supper Jesus: the what? Judas: supper. Normal supper with the fellas

Talking of banger tweets

Tony Benn would have been 101 today.

His "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?"

Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

He died for our skins and rastas

This is so, so well-articulated.

COPYRIGHT LAW?!!

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters"

one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals

the internet truly is a magical place

When i was a kid in Switzerland, there was a family circus that used to come to town regularly, and my dad became friends with some of the people running it. We used to go down and see the show and I remember there was a guy who span plates as an act and one night he just kept smashing plates…

You can stop flames from spreading by not turning people's homes into a gigantic flammable wind tunnel by lobbying to deregulate combustible cladding then covering people homes with it.

Market sentiment:
"Oh god! Oh no! We're doomed! Doooooommmmeeeed"

This has 2001 space odyssey retro futuristic aesthetic vibes

That bald guy from the telly is in this one.

No, the other bald guy. He was in our friends in the north before he was bald.

No, that's that guy from cracker.

I support this one but reversed in order to mess with cockneys

Industry fair banner for Allegheny shredders that reads: The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. Don't fall behind the times.

One of the great slogans of our age.

Something I really miss from 80s/90s movies are made up superdrugs. “They call it Skeez. It’s like triple strength cocaine and black tar heroin and it gives you kangaroo strength.”

At least we had Dredd.
