If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a *really* good person.
After that excellent on-point sermon that sent Trainwreck Trumpy into a twist, she's been getting death threats (very Christian of them!).
Her response 👇
This is a beacon of light and strength - which puts the fear of God in Trainwreck Trump.

So last night was perfect for a long star trails run, with clear sky for most of the night, so that's what I did. I beat my previous time for this type of shot too - this image represents 12 hours 30 minutes of star trails! 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SciArt #Space

Yo-Yo Ma, lying on a bathroom floor, meeting Wilbur the wombat. Taken in 2011 by @petersagal.bsky.social at a benefit event for the Chicago Community Trust.
If this photo were used as album art for one of Ma's records, I'd buy it without even bothering to look at the track list.

Hope it's not apocryphal
When Niels Bohr fled Nazi-occupied Denmark in a fishing boat to Sweden, and then in a high-altitude plane to England, he clutched what he thought was a precious vial of heavy water used to moderate nuclear reactions.
In his haste, however, he had brought a bottle of beer instead!
