@timothy_stanley Yup. Journalism will do that to ya.

Another fascinating dream: I was meeting with the Chinese ambassador at the same time as my mother was hosting a rowdy bridge party. I’m trying to negotiate world peace, and guests kept trying to tempt Mr Xi into a rubber. “You don’t respect what I do,” I shouted at mother.

TV reporter tells David Bowie the internet is "hugely exaggerated" David Bowie's response is the closest thing to perfection about the future.

Laminin, the molecule that holds the human body together, is shaped like a cross. God’s design is intentional.

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one. So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! Hallelujah!!

What's something most people think is healthy that's actually not?

NEVER AGAIN!

@LBFlyawayhome I still have my childhood collection from the seventies. Cherished old friends ❤️

I’m afraid my project to stop buying Ladybirds is not on track

A bishop is warning that Britain’s Christian roots are being deliberately eroded and says the King can’t stay silent forever. If the King won’t defend the country’s traditions, who exactly is supposed to?

@JimFergusonUK Maybe it’s the signal of a doom-monger.

🚨 STRANGE SCENES OVER TEL AVIV — THOUSANDS OF CROWS FILL THE SKY Footage showing large flocks of crows moving across the Tel Aviv skyline is going viral. At first glance, it looks eerie. Unusual. Unsettling. Almost unnatural. But there’s a reason for it. Birds like crows are highly sensitive to changes in their environment: Shifts in weather pressure Changes in light and temperature Noise, explosions, or disturbance Disruption to feeding or nesting areas When something changes… They move — often in large, coordinated flocks. So what are they reacting to? We don’t know for certain. But moments like this tend to happen when: The environment shifts Conditions become unstable Or something disturbs their normal patterns Is it a “sign of doom”…? Unknown but it is a sign that something has changed. And right now, in that region… A lot is changing.

My mother is still waiting for an ambulance. Its been almost 13 hours. Wales. She is bleeding profusely from her urethra & losing clots. A medical emergency. I've been advised to place more pads over the bleeding. She is soaked through with urine and blood. Where's her dignity?

@gotrice2024 Respect your elders, it’s simple. The student is a newbie, and their house has more cars. She should respect the established resident. There are too many cars for that tenancy.

This woman and her daughter come and knock on the door of this college house where the students get a parking spot in the driveway and the other two roommates park in the street. The woman is an asthmatic and claims that she always parks in a certain spot and that everyone else is aware and respects it. She tells them to move the car and not to park there anymore. The student refutes it and says it’s public street parking and she has no right to claim it. Why is this woman arguing with them when she can call the city and ask to designate a handicap spot for her, is she being out of line?

@_AhmadHijazi Ideology equals stupidity. Those unable to cope with ambiguity and with limited intellectual ability find their tribe as ideologues.

What is Stupidity, really? Sometimes with fuzzy concepts, the best is to ask: "So what can I do about this?" ahijazi.website/2024/stupidity…

@Anglojake @TheFamousArtBR @itvnews @BBCNews @SkyNews Go woke go broke.

So UK shop Lush has put this sign up in all of its shops across the UK. Imagine the family’s of those raped and murdered by asylum seekers having to see this. Why are high street shops allowed to put political messages like this up ? @itvnews @BBCNews @SkyNews

He pulled off the best video of his life.. 😊

@GBPolitcs Was the warning sexed up?

🚨NEW: Iran has developed intercontinental ballistic missiles that are capable of striking London, Keir Starmer has been warned

"They told us the paint was safe enough to eat. So we put the brushes in our mouths hundreds of times a day. And now our bones are still radioactive a century after we died.' They were called the Radium Girls. Teenagers who painted watch dials with glowing paint, who danced in the dark covered in their own light, who were told they had nothing to fear. Their employer knew better. They just never told the girls." Orange, New Jersey, 1917. Grace Fryer was eighteen when she walked through the doors of the U.S. Radium Corporation. The job seemed almost too good to be true: painting watch dials with luminous paint so soldiers could read their watches in the trenches of World War I. The pay was better than any factory work available to young women. The paint actually glowed. The girls painted their nails with it, their teeth, their faces—showing up to dances shimmering like something out of a fairy tale. They called themselves the Ghost Girls. Their supervisors told them the paint was perfectly safe. "You could eat it," one said with complete confidence. So they did. Every day. The technique was called "lip-pointing"—put the brush between your lips to make a fine point, dip it in radium paint, paint the number, repeat. Hundreds of times a day. Thousands of times a week. Gram after gram of radium-laced paint passed through their lips, settled permanently in their bones. The male scientists and supervisors working with the exact same paint wore full protective gear behind lead shields. They already knew what radium could do. They simply never told the women. By 1922, the sickness began. Teeth fell out. Jaws dissolved. Bones snapped from the smallest movements. And something else—something no one could explain. They glowed in the dark. At night, standing before their mirrors, their own bodies gave off pale greenish light. The radiation had buried itself so deep it was literally shining through their flesh. When Grace Fryer's symptoms appeared in 1923, she went to the company for help. U.S. Radium denied everything. Their hired doctors blamed syphilis—a deliberate, cruel strategy to label dying women as prostitutes. Grace found a lawyer in 1927. By then she could barely walk, her spine collapsing, weighing under 90 pounds. Four other dying women joined her. The company's legal strategy was simple: delay until they died. But when the women appeared in court in 1928, the public saw with their own eyes what the company had done. Grace had to be carried in. Quinta McDonald's face had sunk where her jaw was eaten away. The outrage was unstoppable. U.S. Radium settled. Each woman got about $175,000 in today's money. Grace died in 1933 at 34. By 1937, all five were gone. What they did can never be undone. Before the Radium Girls, companies faced almost no consequences for injuring workers. Their case changed everything—workers gained the right to sue for negligence, companies became legally required to warn about hazards, employers were held responsible for occupational injuries. Every warning label on a chemical container. Every required piece of protective equipment. Every workplace safety law. Five dying women built that. In 2014, researchers held a Geiger counter to Grace Fryer's grave. Ninety-one years after her death, her bones still registered radiation. They will glow for 1,600 years. "She could barely stand when she brought her lawsuit. Her spine was giving way. She knew she wouldn't survive. She sued anyway—not to save herself, but to save people she would never meet. Her bones still glow beneath New Jersey soil. Her name is written into every workplace safety law in the country. The company that poisoned her is remembered only for what it did. Grace Fryer will never be forgotten." © Tales Of Past #archaeohistories

This morning, @BBCNews eulogising their ‘beloved’ colleague Jenni Murray, while slyly insinuating she left Women’s Hour in 2020 for health reasons. Here’s Jenni in her own words, exposing the truth those misogynist bastards refuse to admit. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@BBCRadio4 @BBCWomansHour At least she knew what a woman is. Unlike you lot

Dame Jenni Murray, best known for presenting BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour from 1987 to 2020, has sadly died at the age of 75. Mohit Bakaya, Controller, BBC Radio 4 and Director of BBC Speech Audio has paid tribute tribute to Dame Jenni. “Jenni Murray was a formidable voice in British broadcasting who was warm, fearless and beloved by listeners,” he said. “During her decades at Woman’s Hour, she helped shape the national conversation with intelligence, rigour and a remarkable ability to connect with audiences. Jenni leaves an indelible legacy on generations of listeners. “We are profoundly grateful for her outstanding contribution to Radio 4, and she will be deeply missed.”
