Being bitten by a radioactive spider is always a bit of a gamble tbh.
19th century wooden “walking” doll with a wheel of eight legs ~ when costumed, the doll’s long dress would cover most of the leg mechanism, allowing the doll to “walk” when moving, while appearing to have only two legs at any one time www.theriaults.com/events/listi...

He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

Leading French automaker Renault is reportedly converting some production sites to make military drones.
It’s stirred discontent among car workers in France, who say they didn’t sign up for Europe’s rearmament push.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Servalan has spent the last hour pressed up against the fence quacking. It started off in response to Sarah Jane's disappearance indoors but has become distinctly Pavlovian since she realised I'm prepared to buy her silence with mealworms.
