Way back in 1620, Edmund Gunter invented his chain. It was done in an attempt to simplify units of length and express linear measurements using base 10. Nowadays he‘s only remembered for giving the term “chain” to a distance of 22 yards. Also nowadays, Reform wants to bring back imperial units…

The secret to a stone wall that lasts is "one over two, two over one." Never line up vertical joints, because that's where walls split. Dry stone masonry is now UNESCO heritage.

Funny isn't it how the "we're protecting our streets" people always start menacing anyone who questions them

Chaos in Washington The new Private Eye is out now.

Does this mean, say, the station plays 25% of Crosby Stills Nash and Young and 60% of Fleetwood Mac?

“Stop Making Sense” premieres 42 years ago today. 🎂 “.. shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do,” said director Jonathan Demme. “Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There's no acting. I love it.” [“Slippery People”]

Laura Nyro made a rare recording of a non-original song when she recorded “Up on the Roof” for her 1970 album Christmas and the Beads of Sweat. Yesterday was Laura Nyro's birthday and we remember her with love and respect.

Beyond devastating, incomprehensible & unacceptable that we have abandoned our allies & our principles and really everything the United States of America once stood and fought for. Thanks to Trump & his gang of lap dogs - our close ally now is Russia -and possibly China

Being prepared for a BBC grilling!

The Manor House in Castle Combe, Wiltshire sits in the heart of the Cotswolds, a region preserved since the medieval wool trade collapsed into a landscape of honey-stone manors and timeless gardens. IG: @thetimeless.heritage

Explaining facts to MAGA or Reform supporters is like trying to have a conversation with a Boxing Day turd… Absolutely fucking hopeless…

Juvenile Barn Owls aprox 8-9 weeks old FIRST DAY out of their nest! Wings are weak and this little one got out and ending up hanging up side down to rest. Parents will feed them for up to 5 weeks now, until they learn to fly and hunt on their own. They live on every continent except Antartica.

Good night, dear friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with Ukraine and helping us through these difficult times. Please keep Ukraine in your thoughts. Ukraine will win.

A completely fair and measured response that I think we can all get behind.

They censor "protect the dolls" but broadcast some racist encouraging their kid to yell "sink the boats" because their job is to engineer your complicity with atrocity.

This hero doesn't need a cape she has a Primus T-shirt & good morals! ✨I love her!

So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

Tee hee 😹

Great result for The Conservatives! Labour-Just clung on Greens-Expected to win with their weird leader & failed Reform-Finished Lib Dem-couldn’t get a 1000! Restore-😝 People want to be able to leave £1M tax free for their children that’s why they are now turning to us Tories.🇬🇧

BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico: “I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“

They should be in prison!

What’s YOUR red line?

You're right, it didn't start on October 7. Palestinian children have been attacking innocent Israeli tanks in Gaza for decades 👀

It's like watching Bart Simpson doing a classroom presentation in front of Mrs Krabappel after zero preparation.
