WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"

A 6,000-year-old necklace with three marble pendants. The beads are made of jet and limestone, which results in a black and white contrast that is typical of the jewellery of the Neolithic Schussenried culture, which was widespread in southwest Germany.

Every few months there's a story in the newspapers about someone who has gone insane trying to explain the meaning of all the carvings in the caves below Coreham. Doctors call it 'manic pareidolia'. I cal it mystery arrogance. Not everything is meant for solving. – Dot Ash #VOH

Boris Johnson is still repeating his completely untrue claim that “Brexit saved lives” with the vaccine rollout - and he’s now doing it completely unchallenged. How many times do I have to correct this boll****

A simply extraordinary Iron Age staircase, preserved within the wall thickness of the ruinous #Broch tower at Dun Carloway, Isle of Lewis, in the Outer #Hebrides.

The sophisticated pre-Roman architecture here blew me away when I saw it this June - a real bucket-list moment

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

The fact that UCC hid a 3000-year-old mummy under the floorboards of a lecture theatre on a campus where two and a half tonnes of uranium rods were being stored in a basement nearby and DIDN'T end up with a zombie-pharaoh apocalypse is both a mystery and endlessly disappointing

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
