She wrote all that code by hand and it landed on the moon. Such an iconic photo. Here’s to Margaret Hamilton (1936–2026). What an incredible and pioneering woman for science. An inspiration to us all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So that guy who live streamed himself trying to drown someone by stabbing their boat with a knife and who has been continually blocking ports and intimidating communities with a band of masked thugs. He’s surely just going to be arrested right? Right?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202.... “Many of the people at that march were brave, passionate patriots who had very real reasons for covering their faces, including the very real fear of losing their jobs” - so it’s fine to cover your face if you know what you’re doing might have consequences?

One of the great wins for 'don't know' in recent times. That will give supporters of not knowing things a lot of confidence.

In response to Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts, the Public Safety Act 1936 made it an offence under to march in uniform. The Crime and Policing Bill 2026 gave the police the power to order the removal of face coverings at a protest. We cannot stand by and allow the normalisation of fascist intimidation.

Dear Burnham Labour government, There are uniformed fascists on the streets of Dover. You have done and said f*** all so far. Not good enough. You'll lock up pro-Palestinian grannies and young climate activists - but you ignore fascist thugs. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams “America of America by Bryan America” and Spirit of Radio by Rush is now “America by America”. He’s gone too far.

If you want the opposite of being depressed you need to listen to "It's a Superpower??" As well as being affirming, it's the funniest audio series I've heard since I was listening to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy late at night in 1978. thedailytism.com/podcasts/its...

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

I want to pay taxes for roads I don't drive on, schools for children I don't have, training for doctors to do operations I will never need, and I don't understand how hard it is for some people to fathom that society, humanity is caring about things beyond one's own personal benefit.
