This guard did not appreciate our humour.

Remembering the time I annoyed the Swiss Guard by pretending they were toys and nearly thrown out of Vatican city. Here's the offending photo, taken moments before I got shouted at 😂

Venus and Jupiter are in conjunction tonight! Look towards the West and you'll see the two brightest planets almost kissing! Should be visible for a little while yet, and they won't appear as close for a couple of years!

If this image doesn't make every American cringe with embarrassment,I don't know what will. So deeply, deeply pathetic. Trump is the living embodiment of Nekulturny.

Alright, alright, alright.. Dazed and Confused was set 50 years ago today. If it was remade today, it would be set in 2009 and the soundtrack would be Lady Gaga and The Black Eyed Peas. Fellow GenXers, you're welcome.

My attempts at trying the generator

A lovely walk through the Surrey countryside today and a glorious collection of bluebells! #wildflowerhour

I don't think I've shown this off before, but it is a thing of beauty! I got this for my nerdy nanochemist wife's birthday a few years ago (and also because I've always wanted one 😂). It's a display case with a sample of every naturally occurring chemical element, displayed proudly in our lounge.

Nonce, Rapist, Sexual Assaulter, Racist, Transphobe, Cunt? I'm not sure how I feel about the updated names of the Trumpton firemen....

"Countries need AI" warns man paid to promote AI An absolute non-story from The Guardian. The writer should be embarrassed to have their name on this.

No! Be fabulous and try some of the anti AI face makeup instead!

Here's the gleeful section of the US press release where the are so very happy that the UK is being forced to pay 25% more for new drugs. That the UK Gov is making this out to be a good deal is quite frankly ridiculous. it's just one more step in destroying the NHS, spurred on by Streeting et al.

Hi @bsky.app Just wondering when you will ban this account for clearly breaking your "no threatening people with death" rule.

I really enjoy Parisian graffiti! From the bear ubiquitous space invaders, to pretty little stencils like this adorable kitty cat!

Murder is bad. But this prick was a fascist, a racist and a Christian Nationalist. He was probably a sociopath, having said empathy was a "made up, new age term". He called the civil rights ovement a "mistake". And the BBC are sanitising his hate filled rhetoric.

So Michael Deane- one of Northern Ireland's leading chefs is a racist dirtbag. Don't eat at Deanes. There are a lot of better, cheaper, less racist restaurants around Belfast.

For those not getting the reference, JD Vance's South Park character is a take on Tattoo from Fantasy Island.

If you STILL support Israel's genocide, murder, starvation and collective punishment of innocent Gazan citizens you're either: •a sociopath; •so unbelievable gullible and dumb you will believe any of Israel's blatant lies; •an evil, genocidal fuck. Fuck Netanyahu, fuck the IDF, and fuck you.

Tom Jones- 85 years old and still putting on a banger of a concert

Odious grifter Jordan Peterson takes his lobster obsession to a new level and tries to BECOME a lobster through sheer force of will. Jokes aside, this does not look like a person who is well- physically or mentally.

The world's loneliest dweeb, who is so insecure, he pays people to cheat at video games for him. With his poor gender affirming surgery and his botched penis enlargement you could almost feel sorry for Musk, if he wasn't a Nazi, a liar, a cheat, a con man and a drug addled fuckwit. Allegedly.

The Monarchists didn't like this one at all. Which made it funnier.

Still very proud of this. It annoyed a lot of Monarchists, who got offended because Philip was old. They really wanted me to know that actually this wasn't funny (it was) and Philip looked nothing like Peter Cushing (he did).

Stop! If you see this post, repost with your cat(s) Faraday

This painting in the Doge's Palace, Venice. It's a painting of hell by Herri met de Bles, a follower of Hieronymous Bosch and I found it mesmerising. So much so I had to get a canvas of it for my home office.

Personally, I love the look of the Enterprise-A (and obvs the original refit), Constitution II class. Second would be the Enterprise-E, Sovereign class followed by the G, Constitution III class.

Viruses are small. Like, really really tiny. If a cold virus was actually as large as my perfect replica in the image below (accurate in every detail, except for the eyes. And the fur. And the colour) the equivalent person would be about 9000km tall, with nostrils about 50km wide.
