It’s so weird to me how the American president has posted that awful meme with the Obamas and nothing will happen about it.

Curious - what powers do ICE agents have? Is it the same as the police? Are they allowed to shoot people as it seems like only the police should have the authority to carry a gun?

BBC Two - Once Upon a Time in Space The human story of space exploration.

Just popping in to say this is a stunning piece of thought provoking film documentary and thoroughly worth your time:

Autumn walks are the best

The realist in me thinks when I die, it’s the big sleep. The Buddhist in me hopes for reincarnation but the optimist really wants to be reunited with all my old animals.

Had the chance to watch AC/DC in Edinburgh last night as they finished up their tour and it was simply stupendous. Angus on the guitar is still a sight to behold, he was phenomenal.

How are we all feeling about Alien : Earth then? I watched the first 2 episodes last night and thought it was good so far. Particularly the eyeball with legs. Although I did think the alien had Turkey teeth veneers at one point.

Not enough education goes on in schools to show kids what a drug addicts life is like. After watching a family member on hard drugs for 20+ years, if you showed kids what their day to day life was like, they wouldn’t go near them. My kids have watched this unfold and it’s put them off for life.

I hear a lot about King Charles & his environmental concern but I would love to know if he’s extending that to his lands in Scotland which have for years been completely deforested for hunting/grouse shooting. Is he rewilding any of those? Or is it all just a show? Genuinely curious.

The Great Realignment Trump is giving the Russian dictator every incentive to keep killing Ukrainians.

Thanks to quieter decisions by members of Donald Trump’s administration, “the American realignment with Russia and against Ukraine and Europe is gathering pace—not merely in rhetoric but in reality,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes:

Unpopular view : I’ve tried reading the book Dune many times now and I just can’t get into it.
Love Sci-fi but I really don’t see what the fuss is about.

‘They are a species on the brink’: can trees save the salmon in Scotland’s River Dee? Last year, a single female was recorded returning to one tributary of a river usually celebrated for its fish. Now a plan is in place to change things – but it’s proving controversial
