This is one of our National museums. Being closed indefinitely due to failing #infrastructure.
This should be a source of national embarrassment. I wait to see if Keir #Starmer suddenly announces a fully funded refurbishment a la The #Louvre. Not holding my breath.

Holgers going to have a flock by the end of the series 😂

And not a second sleeve in sight.
Almost like you can't do an entire sweater in ten hours.

I need someone to convince me that Holger isn't an undercover comedian doing a bit.
He's so extra, I love it.

What even is my job.

Looks like Woolwich Common is on fire. All seems to be under control, which is good for City Airport.
As an aside, this is my other half's second wildfire of the summer. Doesn't feel normal or okay.

Spotted this beauty on the train home - I think it's an Ermine Moth? He's a handsome bugger, regardless.

Is there anything quite so reassuring as the train needing to be turned off and on again to get the brakes to work?

Dear @serailway.bsky.social,
Every single train I've got on this week (four) has been half as many coaches as planned.
This is completely unacceptable, I pay a small fortune every year for my season ticket, I don't think it's too much to ask for a seat every so often?

I will always be mildly obsessed with the Antikythera mechanism; it's just so fascinating!

Turns Out, the Antikythera Mechanism Didn't Function Well, Study Finds
Researchers have created a computational model of the Antikythera mechanism to test how it worked. It was prone to jamming and break down.

17:20 - six coaches, instead of twelve. Yikes, that's a busy train. I'll just wait and get the next one.
17:50 - six coaches, instead of twelve. FML. Guess I'm standing for the next hour.
Glad I'm not paying as much for my season ticket as I am for my GODDAMNED MORTGAGE.
