A communion wafer weighs approx 0.25g, and estimates for Jesus's weight range from 70-80kg. Taking an average estimate of 75kg, there are 300,000 wafers per Jesus.

Oh no, how will my town cope with just two Poundstretchers, two B&M Home Bargains, and a Savers?

Thanks to all who thoughtfully replied to this yesterday. Do keep replying, it’s for anyone who’s interested/involved in the govt’s aim to hugely slash crime in the next decade - by targeting the national emergency of violence against women and girls. I’ll add the link to govt plan in comments.

Dr. Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry following findings that a GP practice in Brighton improperly prescribed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children. www.thetimes.com/article/cfde...

Interesting read. "For the zealots, the rights of trans people trump all other rights, and anyone who believes otherwise is, ipso facto, a transphobe and a bigot, and quite likely a neo-Nazi too." clivehamilton1.substack.com/p/my-trans-f...

This might be Polanski's fiftieth Bluesky post about Palestine (based on a very quick count of search results). He's only posted once about Ukraine. A post in which he also mentioned Palestine.

I renewed my house insurance recently... they charged an additional £165 to conduct a "rebuild valuation survey". The surveyor, who didn't visit the house or contact me, decided the house was made of rendered brick (it's timber) and included my neighbour's house as part of the property.

Oh mate, antisemites getting organised is not a new thing.

Excl: Pro-Palestinian activists ran an organised campaign inside the Green Party to recruit members, secure influential party positions and reshape its policies from within, The Times can reveal. (1/7)

Good news to wake up to...

Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes the rights of trans people, the equalities regulator has said. www.thetimes.com/article/5326...

A cargo ship, 20 crew, and a huge stash of cocaine: the seafarer imprisoned for smuggling – on no evidence

No wonder they want to ban the word nutters.

The Green Party has recently been spending £1million a year defending 'unwinnable' discrimination claims revolving around its treatment of gender critical members. Now it looks like the party might be taken to the cleaners by Jewish members too...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I thought I might never see a mushroom again, it's been that dry here. But today, a parasol!

Unbelievable... almost.

Honestly can't be bothered with these clowns.

Shot / chaser Iran now able to threaten 30% of the global oil supply. Another Trump masterclass.

Left wing sexism. Like the right wing version, but smugger.

The most surprising thing about the C4 Farage scoop is that he actually held a meeting in Clacton.

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

Check out the replies to this throwaway bit of misogyny from The Onion. How many men with beards can you count?

This is a great read...

Roses are red Smoked fish are kippers

This got me blocked by the Humanist Society Scotland. I'd have thought they'd have been in favour of questioning ideology.

Well, how's that going to work?

I have a new lodger. Herring gull chick, fallen into my garden from the roof of large commercial buildings nearby. He will require tinned fish and scrambled egg for two or three weeks, until he's mature enough to get himself off the ground.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains (I'm counting on someone else covering OK Computer and Dummy...)

Here is Magdalen Burns talking in 2018 about how, unless we act, we will be unable to use reality-based languages, lose right to free speech, not be able to gather as lesbians. Her video was in response to Dennis, one of the men in this case against Kirralie Smith. youtu.be/dE_-96DiX54?...

Fucked that there are a million songs about love but only one about baking me a cake as fast as you can

Check out the truly deranged hostility in the replies to this...

Only a phone camera shot, but rather cheerful.

Another huge whopper of an untruth from @amnestyuk.bsky.social It claims the 'gender critical' organisations making up 51% of its sample are 'anti-rights'. Including: @labwomendec.bsky.social @filiacharity.bsky.social @womansplaceuk.bsky.social @forwomen.scot

Welcome everybody to international 'Belgians Don't Buy Their Own Drinks' week.
