We've been conned in believing sourdough bread is superior. The crust is too solid and the inside is just fluffy and floppy. It's inferior as toast or as a sandwich. It's just a con.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Most album reviews are disposable because they're written too soon.
"what do I think after two listens?" Is a shit way of reviewing. Some albums take years before you realise how great they were, or how over hyped.

A $2.5 billion robot has been alone on another planet for 13 years and is still doing science. The scale of that sentence gets worse the longer you think about it.

Curiosity landed in August 2012. Obama was president. Instagram had 80 million users. The iPhone 5 hadn’t shipped yet. The rover was designed for a two-year mission and 20 kilometers of driving. It’s now driven 35.5 kilometers, climbed over 327 meters up the side of a mountain, drilled 46 holes into Martian rock, and is currently running its fifth mission extension.

The computer running all of this has 256 MB of RAM and a 200 MHz processor. Your AirPods have more computing power. Every command sent from Earth takes 14 minutes to arrive. Every photo sent back takes the same 14 minutes. When Curiosity drills into a rock, the team in Pasadena won’t know if it worked for half an hour. They’ve been operating on that delay, every single day, for 4,846 Martian sols.

The power source is 10.6 pounds of plutonium-238 generating about 110 watts. Less than a ceiling fan. It will keep producing electricity for decades because the half-life of Pu-238 is 87.7 years. The rover will run out of moving parts before it runs out of power.

And those wheels. Machined from single blocks of aluminum, 0.75 millimeters thick. Half a dime. JPL watched them get shredded by Martian rock starting in 2013, rerouted the entire mission path, taught the rover to drive backwards, and kept going. The wheels look like they lost a fight with a can opener. The rover is still climbing a mountain.

Every iPhone you’ve owned since 2012 is in a landfill. Curiosity is on Mars, 140 million miles from the nearest repair shop, running on a ceiling fan’s worth of nuclear power, sending data through a 14-minute time delay, on shredded wheels, doing geology that rewrites what we know about whether life ever existed somewhere other than Earth.

We built that. With 0.01% of the federal budget.

If my gas Bill goes up I’m not paying it. @OctopusEnergy send the bill to Israel or the cock in America so they can pay for shit they have caused. Thank you

I purposely bought a radio without a volume knob at a car boot sale so I could tell the wife 'they offered it to me for only a fiver, I couldn't turn it down'. She didn't get it. It's in the bin.

Military drones spell the end of humanity. Once the jeopardy of war, life loss, sorrow, risk, is gone, there's no stopping it.

“My message to you is clear, plain, and simple. Never trust a Tory. Did you get that? I’ll repeat it. Never trust a Tory. They will always let you down, they will always betray you, Reform UK are the real deal.”

Farage has welcomed 26 current or former Tory MPs to Reform.

Neither of them telling the yank to watch his mouth with any conviction though are they. Wet blankets the lot of them

Compare the language. Farage: ‘take issue with’, ‘object politely’, ‘not quite fair’. Starmer: ‘insulting, frankly appalling’, ‘I’d certainly apologise’. First real test and it’s Farage, not the PM, who proves the bootlicking coward unable to stand up to the anti-British bully.

@rhysmcc44 Some dick head accused me of being a Chelsea fan on the train before the game wouldn’t believe me I was Charlton until I got my season ticket out and when I told he best apologise for being a prick he grabbed me round the throat. I just laughed in his face. Mug
