Housewife & reactionary subversive. Out of disfunction comes clarity. In a crazy world the last refuge for the sane is smut.

@paullewismoney "Cabinet Minister did not have to declare £6m loan from firm he was involved with, says watchdog https://t.co/EqL8yWIpv1 it was a private matter"

If borrowing from your OWN company is 'sleaze', and of interest to any others than #HMRC, something's very wrong with the system

In 1972, John Conway posed the following question with an associated $50 cash prize: in Game of Life, is there a stable configuration whose only father is itself?

Törmä and Salo found a solution in January 2022.

Once again it falls to @PrivateEyeNews to conduct real journalism.

🔴They reveal Kwasi #Kwarteng has had a second job with Cripin Odey's hedge fund as a paid 'political advisor' at £20,000 a month ever since he was elected as an MP in 2010.

Oh, is anyone surprised?

C1953 - Fleet Street - Printing started there in 1500 when Wynkyn de Worde (yes, really) set up a printing press in the area. Rupert Murdoch led the exodus away from Fleet Street in 1986 when the Times and Sun newspapers went to Wapping, and Reuters followed in 2005… #History

LITTLE KNOWN FACT ALERT - a few shots of the construction of the Royal Albert Hall in 1868 - did you know the roof is not actually attached to the rest of the building - its enormous weight is all that holds it in place without any bolts or other fastenings…

The Golden Heart pub on Commercial Street - this shot was long before it got adopted by the pratteratti - it now stocks some Tracey Emin artwork and has been run for over three decades by landlady Sandra Esquilant… #eastend #History #pubs

FUN FACT

There are 365.2422 days in a Solar year. The average Gregorian calendar year has 365.2425 days. There is a 0.0003 day difference between the Gregorian and the Solar years. For this reason the Gregorian calendar will advance 1 day every 3,333 years.

Amazon share price peaked July-Nov ‘21 - just before team transitory properly capitulated. Amazon and inflation don’t gel. I’ve long posited that Amazon was the command economy system (gosplan) the private sector enabled without even thinking about it.

Travel back to the auburn sunshine of Edwardian summers long passed: I have enhanced this autochrome from around 1909, of a young lady reading by sunlight. It is original colour (not colourised).

[Mark Kermode @KermodeMovie]

The fact that the Tories are now considering reinstating the disgraced Johnson as their leader proves the utter disdain with which they view the rest of us. They’re not a party; they’re a carnival of contempt.

[BabelColour @StuartHumphryes]

To cheer myself up (and you too, hopefully) I thought I'd re-tweet 4 of my favourite "October" autochromes. These 4 enhancements were all taken in Japan during the month of October, first is dated 1926 & the latter three were all taken 110 years ago, in 1912. None are colourised.

Apparently, after six solid weeks of practice, this will work for 96% of people who try the technique. Given it only takes two minutes each night, we'll be trying this pronto.
