Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Why is this flap-necked chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) moving erratically across a South African road & what does it have to do with pigeons bobbing their heads?
The chameleon's disguise isn't complete without this herky-jerky motion.
Let's learn about saccadic movement!

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

During these challenging times, we could all benefit from a smile, so I would like to present the oldest smile in the world: the Mannetje van Willemstad (the little man from Willemstad, Netherlands).
The Mesolithic figurine, dating about 5400 BC, was carved in oak wood. 🧵 1/2

The lessons to take from this:
1) If you're in the US, leverage that legal protection to say these things for your UK friends who can't!
2) Stop fucking giving Head Bigot JK Rowling money to finance legal terrorism against people who identify raging bigots as raging bigots.

Migrants moving to your local area is not a “legitimate reason” for racism.
LGBT folk being more visible in schools is not a “legitimate reason” for homo/transphobia.
Women not wanting to date you is not a “legitimate reason” for misogyny.
