Apologies for the horrible AI illustration but, as Robin says, this is utterly fascinating.

SCATTERING half a
teaspoon of dried chilli
flakes over a cut grapefruit
half and leaving it overnight
in the fridge will make the
grapefruit taste of chilli. So
don't do it.

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I feel confident that the sort of people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying tax would say that those fleeing war in other countries are not our concern and they should seek refuge in a neighbouring country. In this case I’d suggest Iran, which they can reach by small boat.

The perfect Jurgen Klopp disguise
The perfect Jurgen Klopp disguise YouTube video by Olaf Falafel

Only knowing him from those Trivago adverts, my wife expressed opinions on Klopp's teeth so I had to show her this brilliant impression from the ever excellent @ofalafel.bsky.social

She was in stitches.

No actually I think its a great sign for British media that The Spectator commissioned a masturbatory piece from a convicted fraudster on how awesome Reform's deportation plans are

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please meet Tim Nott, the chair of the Reform UK Party in Bath.

He likes to do..."acting." (yes, that is him.)

One of the most tiresome tropes the Brexiters used to trot out was about "graduate unemployment in Greece and Italy" and that being a reason we needed to leave.

As with so much else they've shut up entirely about that one.

Don't be like that. It doesn't matter about the standard of singing, you're supposed to stick with it for batter or worse.

Just seen another cheap jibe against Stephen Graham for the crime of proley sameness. None ever uses that as a stick to beat say Nigel Havers or Peter Bowles do they? Or someone of colour trotting out the same old same old ethnic. Only the working class talents. Always always always.

​If you translate Bad Bunny's lyrics to English, he really isn't an appropriate pick to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show..
​"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. See, some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory."
​Oh wait..my bad. That's actually Kid Rock, headliner of the MAGA 'Christian' halftime show. So that tracks.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How To Find a Rainbow β€œThis charming story can be read on two levels – that of two sisters in search of a physical rainbow and that of emerging from a gloomy emotional episode and beginning to find joy again.Β  It …

Primary Teachers! If you’re planning to mark science week and want to do something cross-curricular with literacy and art for reception / KS1, have a look at β€œHow to Find a Rainbow”. I’d be happy to share a presentation and other resources and help you plan activities for FREE if you get in touch.

Sorry to soil my timeline but this did make me laugh…you?

Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
