#TheNightManager anyone else noticed that Tom Hiddlestone has started to look like Peter Cushing?

Watching Bowie:the final act on #C4 & remembering the utter gut punch when I heard he'd died. For me, it marked The Year Of Disaster - all those deaths of fantastic creators, & the rise of all the hate- #Brexit, then #Trump, & all the spite & hate, as if hell were opened

MAHOOSIVE hand axes! V pleased that I found them exactly where I predicted they'd be :)

#archaeology there are three creatures in the centre of the picture - can you spot them?

Egad. These three cost me a lot of nettle stings! This looks like it goes from late Mesolithic to Neolithic!

More #archaeology from the same site - what looks like a broken-off blank for a #neolithic axe

Hi, #archaeology people - need a bit of help with I'd on some of these: top row are all 'dont know' bits. The rest, with the exception of bottom left two, are Mesolithic, I think. Bottom left 1st item is sandstone from same area: a hammer stone? Left 2nd - Neolithic?

Sometimes you've got to celebrate something just for the hell of it - here's this: I found a paleolithic hand axe that's almost HALF A MILLION years old, and also managed to correctly identify lithic tools - all confirmed at Reading University! #archaeology

Evening all - one for the #archaeologist Bluesky folk - this is fresh out of the ground - am I right in thinking it's Palaeolithic?

JD Vance: Why are you NOT wearing a SUIT? Why are you DISRESPECTING ME? Oh My...is that..is that a DRESS you're wearing? ARE YOU A TRANS MARXIST WOKE PRIEST? I...I did NOT sign up to Catholicismistickness for THIS!

Yep - this was with wotsername :)

#totp 1988, and #Bananarama in the SAW phase - and all practised dance moves rather than their gloriously drunken hot mess moves of before...

Thanks to my various allergies, my nose doesn't always work very well - but on some days, my olfactory bulb kicks in properly, and it's like an extra couple of dimensions have been added.
Today is one of those days, and everything gloriously REEKS!

Daft TV series hypothesis: #DeathInParadise, the rather soppy long-running BBC murder mystery series, occurs in the same fictional universe as Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes, except instead of being zapped back in time, detectives are whisked to a tropical island purgatory.

#filming yes, I am a tech exec or something....it's been a long week!

Filming next week - feeling nervous as I only got the last of the script last night! Eek! #acting

view of milky way behind a mansion house, showing light from near the Galactic Core and two dwarf galaxies either side.

In my free time, I like to take photos :) This is the Milky Way over where I live, shot using a Pixel 9 and edited in GIMP. It blows my mind how phone camera technology has become so much better.

And why did Musk call it 'X'?
Because the ASCII code for 'X' is 88.
Look up the connection of that number to the Far Right....

For the record...

*on a train*
Standing passenger to sitting one: Can I sit here?
Sitting passenger: I don't know...do you have any communicable diseases?
Standing: No!
Sitting: Would you like some? *Grins manically*
*Standing stares openmouthed at Sitting, then slowly walks away.*

View of the parade of planets plus a waxing moon in a panorama shot

You'll need to open this pic up, but it's the Parade of Planets, taken from outside my home. L-R Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Venus and Saturn.

I just changed 'Alexander' to 'The Fat Controller' and said it in Ringo's voice

wrote this in 2016 for Trumpelstiltskin's first bite of the cherry - think it'll need an update for Trump 2.0 #Inauguration2025

New studio monitors! Hoorah! #voiceover

Meanwhile, over on Space Karen's Hellsite:

Of course, it could also be that he's forgotten how to do punctuation, so:
'Fucking pigs? Just turned up at the house - I am IN!'

‘What have we here?’: how asking yourself a simple question can transform the way you think about your life Forget generic self-help advice and focus instead on the unique set of hang-ups, character traits and personal circumstances that stop you living your best life One problem with trying to improve your life is that, all too often, the improvements you’re…

‘What have we here?’: how asking yourself a simple question can transform the way you think about your life

If you want to know what Hell is like, just go to the 'For You' section of The Other Place - just full of scaremongers, gaslighters, whiners, racists, grifters, snake oil merchants, Nazis and the terminally lazy, all howling their hatred into the void.

Satisfied my intellectual curiosity on the #Solstice to see if this line that intersects two Bronze Age barrows in my local park aligns with sunset - and it does! #Archaeology

Is there a name for that phenomenon when someone in a group forgets the name of someone or something, and everyone else simultaneously forgets it too for at least ten minutes?
