International brands have funneled over $60B into Russian taxes since 2022. You can now scan supermarket items with the Push To Leave app to expose active companies and find ethical alternatives instantly.

You absolute f**king clown. What a disgusting insult to all Ukrainians, to the relatives of POWs murdered, to baby Anhelina, murdered in a park this week. You call this indicted war criminal a "humanitarian" In any normal country you would be fired before you could resign.

Day 14 of #inktober2026, and the prompt word is LADY. Something different tonight - a character from a recent as-yet-unpublished picture book dummy. There is a story with this! #Inktober #Inktober_LADY #kidlitART #kidlitUK

This is a real image of what a new solar system looks like. The light from the central star is blocked, so it's possible to see the lanes of cleared-up dust around it. And that small, yellowish blob at lower right? That's a whole, brand new planet.

Asking for a friend. Hasn't Trump just broken the law? Genuinely, I'm not 100% on U.S. laws and Presidential powers. Do Republicans have the balls to impeach?

As with every year, I don't plan ahead with my #Inktober contributions, for me the fun challenge is to only check the prompt on the morning it's due, ponder what to do during the day and draw whatever comes to mind in the evening. Some days there's more times to do this than others !

Have scientists finally detected dark matter? - video

theguardian.comHave scientists finally detected dark matter? - videoFor decades physicists have been puzzling over the enigma of dark matter. We think it makes up 85% of the matter in the universe, but the mysterious substance cannot be seen or detected, and we know about it mainly through observations of the gravitational effects it has on other things. But now scientists believe they may be a step closer to detecting it. Science editor Ian Sample explains to Madeleine Finlay why, if confirmed, the finding could completely transform our understanding of the universe. And Dr Samuel Erikson, senior research associate at the University of Bristol, and first author of the research paper, explains how the finding has been received in the physics community

Many thanks to the Playhouse Bar for last night's gig. Special thanks to the lady who found my locking screw on the floor after my headphones fell apart! (thankfully not broken, just dissassembled due to the loose screw!). Lesson learned - always check equipment before DJing! #Norwich #DJJellyDrops
