Not entertaining per se, howeveer the ever-awesome David Squires has put together a cartoon in response to idiots who think mocking Hillsborough is acceptable.

I can't link directly to the cartoon, but worth a click.

I lasted ~5hrs and 23 mins on Nov 1, (was asleep for the first 5hrs and 15mins)
How are the rest of you guys getting on?
To collect mistletoe and boughs of holly, obviously.Niegs wrote: Thu Nov 24, 2022 9:24 pm Billy and Tammy wondered what Santa was up to. Thankfully, he'd just wiped the blood off his sickle and they wouldn't have a clue, for the moment...
(Why did old timey Santa carry a sickle!?)
And going by what's in his left hand, heads for ritual shrinking.

Shortest day of the year yesterday, so the crusties made their annual pilgrimage to Brú na Bóinne
What happens during sunrise at Newgrange?
Newgrange, which has a stone age passage tomb that's older than the pyramids in Egypt, is located in the Boyne Valley, Co Meath. It features a 19m-long passage that leads into a chamber with three alcoves.
The passage and chamber are aligned with the rising sun on the mornings around the Winter Solstice.
Above the entrance is an opening called a roof box, through which a beam of light penetrates the roof box and travels up the length of the passage and into the chamber on the Winter Solstice.
As the sun rises higher, the beam widens and the whole chamber is illuminated for 17 minutes.
The OPW says the solar alignment of the passage tomb at Newgrange to face the rising sun on winter solstice is a significant astronomical finding of global importance.
Newgrange was re-discovered by Professor Michael J O’Kelly in 1967 and analysis of high-resolution imagery taken during last year’s research programme adds to a convincing body of evidence that the solar illumination was an intentional feature of the tomb.
