30th December is also the birthday of both Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones so here's something brilliant to remember them by. I think I'll spend the day with The Monkees.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.
This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.
But it's not very far off.

Starmer is 'a day late and a Euro short' with this message.🙄
@pimlicat: "The PM is saying what Brits have known for years, that Brexit was sold to them on false promises.
Young people have been at the sharp end of a Brexit they didn't vote for, which has taken away freedoms that other generations took for granted."

I was in the queue at the Post Office (which also sells booze) just now, and the guy in front of me bought 18 cans of Carling for £16.99. How can this be?!?!? Game’s gone.

On Saturday, @boakandbailey.bsky.social unearthed 1974 BBC video of Hook Norton—an amazing document, and not just for the reasons you might imagine. The brewery, then as today one of the most traditional in the UK, was making some interesting beer that sheds a lot of light on the way things change.
