Doctor Who, Jacob Rees-Mogg and his assistant Steve travel to Clacton in 2046, where the phallic-neck Daleks have seized power.

Their only hope? Return to 2026 and find Count Binface to take on Nigel Farage.

@CrankyFed Hey @grok is true that British engineer Keith Wright (who worked on scientific experiments for the mission at Kennedy Space Center) secretly sketched a small Union Jack, along with his signature and “UK,” on the back of a bracket for a solar panel.

Pigs with completely severed spinal cords are walking again, thanks to an experimental 'fusogen gel' that helps reconnect nerves.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers fully transected (cut) the spinal cords of pigs, then applied a polyethylene glycol-chitosan gel that acts like a molecular weld, promoting axonal fusion. Treated animals regained sensation within two days, bladder control by day five, and full walking ability by day 60. Untreated controls stayed paralyzed with scarred, disconnected nerves.

The gel fills the gap, prevents scar tissue, and enables immediate nerve membrane fusion. It’s a leap beyond conventional approaches, showing rapid functional recovery where paralysis was once considered permanent.

This points to a future where spinal cord damage no longer means lifelong disability, it really is an extraordinary step towards ending paralysis.

"So certain things deserve an immediate response. Donald Trump's statements are totally invented. I am frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way with his own allies — and it's not the first time this has happened.
I can only say that it's a shame he doesn't show the same determination toward the enemies of the West, toward the enemies of the United States, toward leadership with which he is instead much more accommodating.
But one thing he should remember: Neither I nor Italy ever beg."

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

I've had a lot of questions about Hantavirus recently - and some alarmism in some places. It's been a while since I wore this hat - but let's chat! 💬

Noah Hawley attended Jeff Bezos's private Campfire retreat in 2018. His wife broke her wrist. He told Bezos directly - not as complaint, just as human information from one husband and father to another. Bezos looked horrified, an aide materialized instantly, and he was whisked away.

No "I'm so sorry." No "do you need anything." Just escape.

Hawley's thesis in The Atlantic is not that the ultra-wealthy are evil. It is something more precise and more unsettling: that moral reasoning develops through consequences, and the environment of extreme wealth systematically removes consequences from a person's life. When you can buy your way out of any mistake, fire anyone who disagrees with you, and exist in a social circle entirely composed of people who need something from you - the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark.

This is different from classic narcissism, which typically masks insecurity. What Hawley is describing is something rarer: a self-definition in which the individual has genuinely grown to the size of the universe and the universe has contracted to fit. Elon Musk calling empathy "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." Trump asked about checks on his power saying the only thing that could stop him was his own morality. Peter Thiel concluding that freedom and democracy are incompatible.

These are not poses. They are the logical endpoint of a psychology shaped by years of operating in a world that never pushed back.

The Bezos encounter is the piece's sharpest detail because it is so small. He was not cruel. He was not contemptuous. He simply could not locate, in that moment, the impulse to respond like a person who understood that another person's wrist hurt.

Keith is a three-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat in a field in Devon.

Keith has opened 7 gates, occupied a barn roof for 11 consecutive days, cleared an entire knotweed stand worth £4,000 to remove chemically, eaten Steve's bindweed, been in the churchyard twice, been in the road an estimated 14 times, eaten the water heater instructions, been in Dave's kitchen (standing there, not eating anything, just standing), and filed the structural details of every fence on the farm into a memory that has never once been cleared.

He has done all of this while also being the single most cost-effective conservation intervention on the property.

These are not separate facts. They are the same fact.

Keith does not distinguish between the work and the escape. The escape is work. The work is escape. The fence is a project. The project is completed. The project leads to the next project. The knotweed leads to the churchyard. The churchyard leads to the road. The road leads back to the east ditch. The east ditch was cleared in one season.

There is a man named Steve who has filed twenty-nine formal complaints about Keith.

Steve's bindweed is gone.

Steve does not yet understand that these are the same story.

Dave has £387 in gate receipts, a positive net outcome column on every row since entry seventeen, a churchyard booking for next month, and a corner post with a 4mm flex that Keith has known about since Margot's visit and has not yet acted on.

Not yet.

Keith is not done.

Keith is never done.

Keith is ten thousand years of Zagros Mountain goat compressed into a Devon field, and the fence between him and the rest of the world has always been a negotiating position rather than a boundary.

Be ungovernable. Do the work. Leave the field better than you found it.

The knotweed is at 6%.

Keith is thinking.
