The exploding whale is my all-time favourite vintage internet gem 🐳
#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

OK clearing continues, so here's a set of books to give away: it's the 12-vol Delphin edition of Pliny's Natural History (London, 1826). The set is pretty battered - but was in The House of Commons Library for over a century, so just think who read it! Just RT this to enter draw.

Ministers have just approved a new oil field in the North Sea & have plans for more, claiming they’re “compatible” with climate targets. The science clearly says otherwise. Have your say on this absurd greenwashing👇@friends_earth act.friendsoftheearth.uk/tar…

Spaces of sanctuary or celebrations of identity; the places in our care are filled with stories of those who challenged conventional ideas of sexuality.
To celebrate #Pride, we’re exploring the LGBTQ+ histories we look after, and the hidden lives of those who shaped them. (1/13)

In 2017 a long standing #Bristol rumour was proven to be true. Vale Street in Totterdown was officially declared the steepest residential street in England. It has an average incline of 22 degrees. Cars have to be parked diagonally to prevent them from rolling down the hill

The ridiculous #ReesMoggConga continues for the 8pm vote on the Boundaries Bill. I’ve joined the queue that is already snaking around Westminster. This new voting system is farcical, discriminatory, undemocratic and ridiculous. I am not a fan.

#QuestionTime I work for one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of ventilators and the UK govt have ordered only 350 vents from us but 10000 non-existing and untested vents from Dyson. How can this be right?
