It's 39 years to the day since Colin the House Dalek was seemingly talked into self-destruction in Remembrance of the Daleks, episode 4. In reality, he ended up as a dinner lady at Coal Hill School until joining our family as childcare. #DoctorWho

The word "accidentally" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this headline.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

Russel Brand likes to use big words doesn't he? He should be ok with a long sentence.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

As well as being a famous Hollywood actress JULIE NEWMAR — still with us aged 93 — was also a patented inventor, real estate magnet & classically trained concert Pianist. Here she is playing a bit of Chopin on the TV show ‘My Living Doll’ in 1964.

Houthi attacks are expanding beyond Saudi Arabia’s southern provinces. Nearly a quarter of the group’s attacks and attempted attacks from 13 July to 14 October targeted oil facilities, risking longer disruptions.

I remember that. Although, I think it might have been "Do no evil." They intended it to distinguish them from Microsoft 😂

🧵 It’s close to Samhain, the Celtic feast appropriated as Halloween. It’s a time when this & the Otherworld are nearest. A time of creativity, magic & fun! It’s these colourful ideas that form the inspiration for my ink drawings, as you can see in this thread! [1]

Solar farms in the Gobi are cutting dust storms. A study of 17 farms found the panels slow surface winds by more than 9% and make soil up to 17% less erodible, reducing springtime dust by about 352,000 tonnes a month. RenewEconomy buff.ly/bambHT8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

I saw a screenshot of this and had to go and check if it was real. How can you be the BBC’s cyber correspondent and not have heard of PHP before yesterday? *And* now be talking confidently about it on the news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Wonderful thread, and very true to my own experience as a preacher as well. I’ve often finished writing a sermon, felt very satisfied with myself and then as I read it back over was absolutely certain I could hear God asking: “You sure about that?”

In 1958, Muriel Billes hit upon an idea. Why not introduce a form of store currency in the form of a coupon? She took her idea to her husband Alfred, the president of Canadian Tire. Thus Canadian Tire Money was born. This is the story. 📸 Canadian Tire 🧵 1/8

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

As Margarine Thatcher releases yet another book attempting to persuade us that HER delusions should also be OUR decisions, let me just remind you of how remarkably, hilariously, terrifyingly bad she was. No paywall. 725 jokes. (Kwasi did the maths) russincheshire.substack.com/p/it-would-a...

Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

Archaeologists thought they understood Inca history and chronology based on historical documents. It turns out a 16th century Spanish priest just...made up those dates. So scientists are starting again, this time with radiocarbon www.science.org/content/arti...
