BREAKING🚨: It's Official. There's a Black hole on the loose in the Milky way galaxy
Astronomers have officially confirmed the first-ever rogue black hole drifting through our Milky Way galaxy!

Using data from Hubble and Gaia, scientists spotted this cosmic ghost not by its light (it emits none)

He also wants to start watching good/classic horror films.

14yo wanted to watch The Matrix for the first time. Oh god it still looks so good. I remember watching it when it came out, it felt transformative.

Glorious watching it as a trans allegory too...

This was great, do go and see it if you have the chance. Fascinating parts woven together into a compelling narrative that's surprisingly relevant 1500 years later.

Plus a photo of a dig dog. What more do you need?

I’m back on tour with my new book DOMINATION this week - travelling to Bradford, Sheffield, Newcastle, Hull & Northampton. Expect plenty of monasteries, basilicas, hypocausts as I explore the end of the western Roman Empire and why it’s still relevant today!

Half the audience going "hypocaust" has been my favourite part so far (alongside Jenrick criticism, wish is always welcome!)

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

I get that filming The Battle of Hastings is challenging: trying to balance individual combat with the big picture. But the dialogue in King and Conqueror is excruciating.

Love Tron, but I can't imagine anyone I'd less like to watch in a sequel than Jared Leto.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Today I & three friends were arrested under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act in Trafalgar Square for holding a sign I Oppose Genocide. I'm
now banned from attending any Palestine Action demos. Whilst the real terrorists are free to continue a Genocide with impunity and govern in our Parliament

Pretty badass fight between Melina and Lori then let down by the dumb line "consider that a divorce" after Quaid shoots Lori. He still has the memories of being married to her, so the callousness doesn't sit right

Jeremy @jeremycarter42.bsky.social · 11d

The scene where Edgemar and Lori try to persuade Quaid that he's still in Rekall is probably the most Phillip K. Dick moment
