*climate events otherwise impossible till now* *never happened before* but… *1991-2020 that happened by this date in 0 of 30 years* Hardly *unprecedented* Just more climate catastrophe fear porn… 🙄
🚨 This has never happened before. The Super El Niño has triggered an unprecedented early November stratospheric warming event (SSW) and wind reversal. 100% chance forecast. We must prepare for weather and climate events that were otherwise impossible until now.

Wow, this is amazing, thanks to @elonmusk
🚨 Neuralink just delivered one of its most emotional breakthroughs yet Terry, diagnosed with ALS in 2024, is now speaking again using only his thoughts. The implant translates brain signals into words, with Grok Voice restoring his own natural voice. Watching him hear himself speak again is incredibly powerful. This is what restoring human connection looks like. Truly life-changing. As found.

Who could forget this classic scene…😂 She was a great foil to Clouseau RIP Elke & thanks for the laughs 🌹
Elke Sommer, the German-born actress who starred in several major 1960s films like “The Prize” with Paul Newman and the “Pink Pnther” sequel “A Shot in the Dark” with Peter Seller, has died. She was 85. She died just three months after her husband, Wolf Walther, died of cancer. wp.me/pc8uak-1lI34C

After all, what could possibly go wrong….. Aside from rapidly set up dubious *charities* ripping off taxpayer money Aside from rapey problems Aside from them not seeking work Aside from them not integrating Aside from wonton destruction…

Don’t tell me the Labour Government lied?!?! I don’t believe it… 🤥🤥🤥
🚨BREAKING: All Britons may need ID to use social media, the UK's online safety regulator today announces “This plan for a government ‘social media ban’ is a national ID system by the back door. Both the government and Ofcom have admitted that children will get around the ban, which means the real effect will be normalising adults and children alike to hand over their passports just to get online. Hundreds of thousands of people without ID, who tend to be poorer people, and many more who don’t want to risk handing their passports over to foreign tech companies will be locked out of huge parts of the internet. The plan will kill anonymity online, whilst the UK’s culture of speech policing is reaching a crisis point. The policy is painfully misguided, an Orwellian assault on free speech and privacy, and will make children no safer at all. The false illusion that children aren’t on social media will cause the companies to abandon all their child safety measures. The Government could be promoting meaningful safety measures and supporting parental controls that genuinely protect children - instead, they’re demanding government ID from the whole population just for uncensored internet access. It is authoritarian madness.” - Silkie Carlo | @silkiecarlo Read ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

How’s that sinking ship going? Bye bye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Christine, you won’t be missed…
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Today I am musing, as I have regularly since 1995, about how ITV got away with this.

Budge up! Budge up!
🌍 Ever wonder why Scotland & Wales have such different landscapes? Hundreds of millions of years ago, England & Wales didn’t even border Scotland! They were part of a microcontinent called Avalonia, sitting near the South Pole. Over 100M+ years, Avalonia drifted north across an entire ancient ocean, eventually crashing into Scotland around 440 million years ago. This massive tectonic collision welded Great Britain together and forged the rugged mountains of Snowdonia! 🏔️✨
