Mostly happy. I probably don’t know half of what’s going on.

A good reason to restrict political donations to UK only.

After previously donating £1.8m to the Tories and a further £1m to Boris Johnson, a Thai based crypto investor donates a record £9m to Reform UK whose leader actively promotes the stablecoin Tether whose key investor is the same Thai based donor to Reform. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Crypto investor donates record £9m to Reform UK
The sum from Christopher Harborne is the largest ever single donation by a living person to a British political party.

If you're missing Wombie, take a look at this video he recorded to promote the release of our book: Agents of Secrets & Lies, Book 1 of the Summer Realm Trilogy.

This is his character Cleaveskull who's hilarious.

Grab it a special pre-order price now.

It is December now in Australia, and soon will be elsewhere in the world.

Here's a #Whamageddon rules refresher if you need it.
WHAMAGEDDON THE RULES THE 1ST RULE The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas". THE 2ND RULE The game starts on December 1st, and ends at midnight on December 24th. (Yes, we're European heathens) THE 3RD RULE Only the original version applies. Enjoy the fuck out of remixes and covers. THE 4TH RULE You're out as soon as you recognise the song. BONUS RULE Post on social media with the #whamageddon hashtag when you get hit. PUP? While we can't stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale. So don't be a dick, mkay?

@aptshadow.bsky.social just remembered that you’re a friend of Max. Shame he’s not over on BlueSky - had some good chats with him over on the other place back in the day. - Alt-text on first photo tells how we met. If you see him give him my best wishes 😀

Max Barclay of the NHM with the beetles collected by Darwin and Wallace. Story of how we met in Alt-Text.
Picture of Max holding a tray of preserved beetles from an air conditioned temperature controlled storage cabinet housing many trays of beetles. Next two photos show red dots and spidery writing by the beetles / hand written by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. My wife bought two tickets for TEDx at the Albert Hall in 2013. Both her and her colleague then couldn’t go because they were called into a meeting. I took one ticket and advertised the other free-of-charge on twitter. Max (who I didn’t know then) said he’d like it. I knew nothing about him but we arranged to meet at the NHM near RAH. When we met, Max said he wanted a ticket for his brother. Max is the curator/curations manager of beetles at NHM and Max was giving a TED talk on beetles. Before the show he asked me if I’d like to see the behind-the-scenes beetle collection including those collected by Darwin and Wallace. What an amazing stroke of luck and an unforgettable opportunity.

In October, we reached our first £500 and we were able to send loads of books to Harlands Primary School!

We're now approaching our second £500 and Blackwood Primary in South Lanarkshire are the next recipients.

I've emailed them and they've sent me a lovely wish list of books
A load of kids from Harlands Primary School, holding up books they got from the 500 Club.

This is a bird we go looking for periodically and this afternoon we were lucky enough to see it.

It perches quite close to a road and you can see cars in the background.

😂 “spidery writing by the beetles”

I meant “by the side of the beetles”

The beetles didn’t write it themselves
