SAM: Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

HUGE News 🚨 Balamory is BACK! Two decades after being produced between 2002 - 2005, the pastel-hued fictional town is set to be revamped for a whole new generation in 2026, the BBC have announced. Commissioned for 2 new series on CBeebies, once again to be filmed in Scotland!
“Do you have a plan to improve NSS scores?” Well, I have the concept of a plan…
Everyone is freaking out over this, but there are many logical explanations. Although Starliner is *most* likely haunted, it could also be aliens, space whales, sophon interference, forever lost cosmonauts banging on the hatch begging to be let in, or simply the Babadook.

In four days, we could be seeing "unprecedented historical events" every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes
All I'm saying is that if *I* was trying to pull off the biggest jailbreak in history, I'd establish myself as the world's most beloved keycutter, and then get appointed Prisons Minister.
Our work with @SALT_Astro has been really rewarding - amazing technology in a beautiful country! @DerryckReid @HWU_Physics
