I can smell that from here...

Exciting to see progress in the creation of a community garden and new #Allotments.

This was just an old unused Council compound, but Medway Council decided to reuse it to allow the community to grow more fruit and vegetables.

This is Hank. He is incredibly invested in this plumbing project that does not require him in the slightest. 13/10 (TT: compound_interest_)

I have spent more time than I care to admit looking for dramatic shots of octopus punching fish. So, believe me when I say this is one of the best yet!

Holy shit. It’s time to subpoena Trump! 😡

The Expense.

The fuck kind of answer is this

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.

When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.

He then got detained by Saudi guards.

Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. “It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.
“Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” 
“I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. “I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.
“That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.
“C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.” “Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.
“Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.
“Here he comes now!” Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston

In celebration of World Book Day, here’s a poem called ‘Book Group’.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

I caught a trailer for this a day or so ago and that literally starts with Armstrong saying "India is a land of contrasts", and truly it is time to nuke the "middle-aged-white-man-makes-cliche-laden-travelogue" format.

Love the fact there is a community garden here at Lewes FC. A woman tells me “it’s for people who live in flats who don’t have a garden who can come down and enjoy it.” She adds that “behind the chip stand there is also a community allotment.”

Before & after at the allotment! Now my half is ready for planting (well, once I spread the new compost, that is). However it will be a little while until it's warm enough to start sowing. My onions & garlic are coming on strong in the meantime. #AllotmentLife #Allotment

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited both teams to his office for a photo op. He felt bad for the American women's team not going to the White House.
Safer in his office than in trumps...

Menfolk who maybe don’t want to vaccinate, please google “orchitis”.

It occurs in 20-30% of post-pubertal boys and men who contract mumps.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

A hand holds a tiny biscuit decorated to look like a teacup. A band of green encircles the rim of the white cup, and the words 'With fond love for thee' are painted on its side in tiny writing.

All designs painted onto royal icing by hand using food colouring gels and vodka.

The biscuit (cookie) flavour is based on a Victorian recipe for fig pudding. Ingredients include fig, candied peel, almond & sherry.

Laid out against a dark grey background are ten biscuits that resemble aged, chipped mudlarking finds. An oval biscuit in a rich, dark green looks like the seal of a glass bottle, and features a raised characterful face at its centre. Next to it is an unevenly shaped black biscuit with grey chips and the raised shape of a hare’s face, ears, and upper legs. There are two large biscuits with jagged edges, each decorated in blue and white to look like broken pieces of delftware plates. One features the shape of a small bird surrounded by swirling lines, the other has a series of concentric circles and curved shapes. A small biscuit with a multifaceted texture replicates a knapped flint arrowhead. Next to it are a tiny hammer-shaped biscuit in pewter with delicate cross markings, and a very small gold biscuit button etched with lines, circles, and a rough star shape. The smallest biscuit is made to look like a yellow glass cufflink with decorative circles in blue, white, and red. Another small biscuit has the appearance of an aged metal button edged with decorative white and turquoise dots. Finally, there is a small angular biscuit in a terracotta colour with raised lines roughly in the shape of two intwined figures.

Some mudlarking finds survived for centuries in the muddy banks of the River Thames. Others are freshly baked tasty snacks. 🍪

This biscuit (cookie) set recreates ten of the 350+ mudlarked objects in London Museum's Secrets of the Thames exhibition.

The exhibition closes on 1 March. Don’t miss it!

Did you know that Warriston Cemetery once had its own chapel? Built in 1842-3 & demolished by 1930, all that remains are scant black & white photographs, Victorian engravings & the original Edinburgh Cemetery Company plans that are held within the Peddie archive, now part of HES. 1/
