#robinince and Clare Ferguson-Walker @Clarefrog22 were excellent; witty and funny, reciting their sometimes poignant poetry, along with backstories and observations of life. They deserved a bigger audience. If you get a chance, go and see them.

Rishi Sunak has saved us all from a bunch of taxes that never existed!

'Imagine what a decent government could have done instead of shifting billions to their mates...'

@mrjamesob pulls back the 'ideological cover' the Tories have used to justify austerity, adding lockdown could have been the time to resolve the unsafe concrete issue in schools.

Carl Sagan's brilliant explanation stands the test of time. Is that Al Gore in the audience?

The science of global warming beautifully and simply explained by Dr. Carl Sagan, ca. 1985.

Ciaran Jenkins dissects Rishi Sunak's claims and finds it wanting. This is Grade A humiliation.

#Springwatch (1/2) Purple Emperor (Apatura iris) taken with my Canon PowerShot SX730 at the Knepp Estate in Sussex on Saturday 24 June. The purple colour is iridescent so depends on viewing angle, as demonstrated in the photograph of the upper (dorsal) side of the wings.

William Shatner is right. The Earth is the final & only frontier & we are destroying it an an unprecedented rate.

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

"I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

"I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

"This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."

-- William Shatner, actor

Please listen to this speech by @GovPritzker. It perfectly explains both the cruelty and stupidity of the people now ruling Brexit Britain.
