@AJamesMcCarthy Absolutely spectacular photos!

Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad. I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

Six months ago, King Charles III received Donald Trump at Windsor Castle. Horse-drawn carriages. A 41-gun salute. A state banquet in St George’s Hall with 160 guests. Trump stood next to the King, visibly moved, and called it “one of the highest honours of my life.” Britain smiled, nodded, and filed that away. Today Trump posted a hostile video about the United Kingdom. Downing Street issued a three-sentence response and got on with its day. Because here is the thing about Britain that Americans never quite grasp: this country has been burying empires since before the United States existed. It has outlasted Napoleon, Hitler, and the Soviet Union. It will outlast this. Trump wanted a reaction. He wanted the phone calls, the grovelling, the desperate reassurances. He got a shrug from a country that invented the stiff upper lip and has been practising it for a thousand years. While Washington careens between threats and tantrums, Britain is quietly doing what Britain does. Building alliances. Signing defence agreements. Hosting the leaders that actually matter at Chequers and Downing Street. The adults are in the room. They just stopped expecting Trump to be one of them. The special relationship was always a polite fiction. Britain knew that. It kept the fiction alive because it was useful. Now that it isn’t, Britain is doing what any self-respecting island nation does. It moves on. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@RepJackKimble 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The crowd at the Olympics was not booing JD Vance. If you’ve ever been at a sporting event where they yell Coop or Lou it sounds very similar. They were yelling JD.

@campbellclaret “…Angles, metes and bounds…”??

This has to be the over reach moment when Europe stops pretending this guy is normal or can be dealt with normally, and they get their act together and fight back. He is an enemy over Ukraine and an enemy over a NATO country, Denmark, whose defence of Greenland has been weakened not by them but by the USA. He is a narcissist who cares only for himself and his fellow grifters and cultists, and his deeply fragile ego. He is a bully who will respect nobody and nothing that fails to stand up to him. I have many American friends and am deeply sorry it has got to this but while he is leader it is not a place we can support in any way. And given the chaos he is causing home and abroad it might be about time his NBF at @FIFAcom Infantino thought about shifting the World Cup to a country that wants people to feel welcome. 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 among the many who could step in. But for now he just needs to be told DO ONE DONNY

I wonder if FIFA President Gianni Infantino is getting quite enough public ridicule yet.

@KarluskaP Mate, the whole world burst out laughing.

CNN is trash- A CNN panelist burst out laughing off-camera as Donald Trump received the 'inaugural 2025 FIFA Peace Prize' in Washington, DC, on Friday - weeks after the president lost out on a chance to receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

This is some kind of sick joke, right..?

@felixpope_ What a load of absolute nonsense.

Near London, the Met have built a scale model of the divided and violent future that many fear Britain is spiralling towards. I visited last week to watch cops throw petrol bombs at each other and prepare for civic breakdown

@itvnews No.

Trump v BBC: Could the US president win a $5bn lawsuit against the corporation? itv.com/news/2025-11-1…

I don’t understand why institutional bias against Trump by intelligent, educated and experienced journalists at the BBC is wrong. Trump is one of the most loathsome individuals the world has ever seen in a position of power. Isn’t objecting to everything about him simply logical?

@trussliz You are a disgrace.

I'm glad the US President and the rest of the world are seeing the BBC for what it is. Its failure to tell the truth on everything from transgender ideology to economics to Gaza has done huge damage to politics and government in this country. This should be the end of nationalised broadcasting.

@dontforgetchaos Crete. Utterly gorgeous and not too far away. Definitely recommended!

Holiday recommendations for March/April? Nice hot weather so appreciate it’ll probably be long haul. Any ideas gratefully received. (Not Thailand as going back a different time)

@south_railway more signalling problems, more delays, more cancellations. What percentage of your mainline services actually run, let alone to time? Also, recorded apologies ring exceptionally hollow.

@RajSKohliexcop Fortunately there’s very little chance of them having the opportunity to bring this into existence.

Disgusting.

The UK looks across the Atlantic, observing the painful demise of the world’s most powerful and successful liberal democracy, and says, “yes - that’s what we want too”. Tragic times.

Agree with him, passionately disagree with him - however powerfully held opposing views can be, this is an object lesson in calm, rational debate of major issues. Violence is never the answer. Nor is jumping to incendiary conclusions around responsibility or motivation. Sad day.

@RupertLowe10 Cool story bro.

A terrifying number of parents have contacted Restore Britain, with evidence, proving that their school is serving ONLY halal meat to their children. This is a scandal. We are not a Muslim country. What the hell is going on?

The comments under this very funny post are absolutely brilliant.

@rickygervais I didn’t notice at the time but what a lovely touch. I don’t mind admitting - I bawled my eyes out at the end of this show. Hugged the wife and kids just a little tighter. Make the most of every moment. Thank you for such a gorgeous piece of television.

Be honest. Who noticed we made the leaves change colour & start to fall?
