Tweet archive 09/07/2018 According to @citymetric, lanto's Shrine was 67th on the list of Cardiff's top attractions in 2016. Since the sad closure of the @DW_Experience, lanto must have moved up at least one place…

It was 67th in 2016…

It´s kind of amazing watching the UK political class of the last ten years, from Boris to Liz to Starmer, it´s like they´ve collectively forgotten how to govern.

At 70, I'm trapped in my £850,000 family house - I can't sell it Maureen Evans, 70, wants to downsize and give some money to her children

Everything about this story makes me feel faintly stressed. 1) Just accept where the market is and sell your home for c£700k. 2) For god's sake don't move into a smaller home on two floors, why do you want to do this again in 15-20 years? If you can't find a bungalow, this is what flats are for!

"People have asked me why I don’t just drop the price again, but I refuse to give my home away cheaply just because of the ridiculous economic climate we’re in"

The Prime Minister doesn't understand his job.

The Chancellor has given up.

The Home Secretary has radicalised herself.

There isn't a foreign secretary.

A government on autopilot into oblivion.

NASA just shared the closest image ever taken of Jupiter...

Each one of those swirls is a storm bigger than the entire Earth and going on for centuries. Let that sink in.

[Question: did all those pubs have overnight B&B rooms? Aside from the usual culprits of decline in sociable beer drinking and availbility of cheap supermarket booze, was it the Travelodge & Premier Inn that actually killed off the highway pub?]

A picture of four of the lost pubs of Cambridge and the text "There have been 23 pubs on Newmarket Road - now only three remain. I'm making a documentary about these lost places for Cambridge Radio and I want your memories to share. You can send me an email at james@cambridge.radio if you would like to contribute"

FYI Cambridge people!

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

Roy never sleeps. Or rather he now sleeps forever, sadly, so has plenty of time on his [gloved] hands to keep the archive open 24/7.

Here at the Moley Virtual Museum, our MVM archive contains mainly faux fabricated files and outlandish alien conspiracies in the monetised just-for-the-clicks-and-giggles pseudo-archaeology section cared for by our virtual archivist, the late comedian Roy Jay.

We know we're biased, but ours are better.

It's a snip from another platform. A man sleeps while an huge crab looms over him. Captions say "Don't worry you are not alone" and "We've hired a crab to watch over you". The comment on the post is "Crab Museum takes no responsibility for it smashing your flat to bits in search of tidbits of algae, whale flesh, or a simple good time. Frankly, we're as baffled as you are.

Why isn't Margate's Crab Museum on Bluesky?

Again, where the fuck have AAPG, GSA, and AGU *been* in raising alarm about this shit?

All three geological and geophysical professional societies have *direct interests* in at least getting the public aware of what an absolute disaster the targeting of civilian energy infrastructure is.

We are therefore left in a curious position. The civil service is effectively saying the appointment was politically questionable, but that once made, the processes operated as they should. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister appears to argue the reverse: that the appointment was defensible, but that officials should somehow have stopped it after the fact. That he should have been told he could not have what he wanted. An unrealistic expectation of officialdom-and a complete failure in the relationship between state and elected government. Beyond the particulars, the fact of Robbins' testimony once again brings the Prime Minister's political judgment into question. It is clear that No 10 overreacted in the wake of the initial Guardian story. They could have stuck to the formulation that there was no clear pass or fail and clung to Robbins. Instead, for the sake of a news cycle and to give Starmer yet another fall guy at which to appear indignant, they handed Robbins a microphone to tear No 10 to shreds- an extraordinary act of prime ministerial self-harm. Labour MPs will inevitably be left wondering if this is just one mistake too many, albeit on an issue about which most of the public are unaware or uninterested.

Omega meanwhile remains a bit more inscrutable behind that mask (for all we know he might be smirking everytime he goes off on a rage).
