Has anything really creative and original ever come from this exercise?
Apparently this is right-wing coded now, but I wouldn't have thought for a second before selecting historic milestones. I am, as ever, utterly alienated from the British public.
Example of why it's a stupid Idea to ask people what to do.
It's an abduction of responsibility by someone.
"The gas-powered data center craze has come to Europe."

"What does this mean for Ireland's climate goals? According to my estimates, this single project will increase the entire country's annual GHG emissions by ~1%."
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
It’s not wrong. #UrbanTruth

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.
If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.
Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
"The War in Iran was started by WOKES!"
Colin from Portsmouth says that the war is a ruse by carbon neutral lobbyists to put up the price of oil so we all start investing in green energy.

Today we’re launching London’s new Vision Zero road safety plan.
I’m proud that the bold steps we’ve already taken have saved lives - helping make London’s roads safer faster than the rest of the UK and now safer than major cities like New York, Paris and Rome.
A Roman coin depicting two people either side of two military standards
On #findsfriday looking forward to highlighting a couple of discoveries made by the op nightingale veterans (including this coin with military standard appropriately) to the Roman Finds Group. From Buckspool (with @henebtwa.bsky.social ) to Anglesey. #archaeology
CENTCOM: U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing.
Despite heavy U.S. and Israeli strikes, about 60% of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed—little change from last week—showing how difficult it is to locate the small, mobile systems.
Deranged or, more likely, getting money from gun manufacturers
Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again.
The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

Private Eye response to the pearl clutching by the media about Peter Mandelson's appointment as our Ambassador to the US
Don't have that photo but this is Private Eye's response to the pearl clutching by the media.
Before we do anymore consultations about putting animals on things, can we check people know that badgers and beavers are not the same thing?
Anyone who doesn't know's vote will be discounted.
The Tory party coming out against middle aged nature lovers who respond to public consultations about bank notes absolutely shows that they have no idea who *any* element of their putative coalition are anymore

Picture of an otter who is called Steve. Steve is on a rock, looking like he’s thinking hard, chin resting on paw. Says: Do beavers even know what they're doing or do they just see water flowing down a river and think "Absolutely Not" It’s a good question Steve
I don’t want to think about Farage & the nonsense he spews-
But his tweet reminds me of this fabulous meme from Steve, of @in-otter-news.bsky.social

Many have asked what 'Woke' really means, suggesting it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'. Now, we have a definition and, yes, it turns out it's meaningless or just means 'things I don't like'
a sign that reads: PARK HERE "ONLY WHILE" AT "LIBRARY" The stuff that's in quotes is also underscored, because why not.

The "replies" to this are very "amusing"
