While screencapping this episode I tried to read some of the messages left at Danny’s memorial, but could only make out the top center one “Dear Mr Pink, I am really sorry. You were the best teacher ever. I’ll miss you and the school. [something something] Sally” and the odd “RIP Mr Pink” here and there. This is where having the episodes in high-def would be handy…

BBC’s Norman Smith calling Farage a cunt.
That must be the first truth I’ve heard from the BBC in quite some time.
Comparing Terran and Martian sunsets
The two photos here have been scaled to depict the same angular width, so that the sinking solar orb and the dance of its light in the atmospheres of two worlds could be viewed side by side. The most obvious difference is the colour, an eerie bluish grey on Mars contrasted with the deep multicolour palette of a wordly evening.
There are several reasons for this, one being the layered nature of our atmosphere, and the contrasts in dust and aerosol content between the layers. Another may be the nature of the dust: scientists don’t understand as yet why the Martian examples have a bluish tint, but speculate that something in the nature of Martian dust and its interaction with light is probably the cause. The Arean orb also appears slightly smaller than ours due to the greater distance of Mars’ orbit around the sun.

MISC
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ARE GROSSED OUT BY UNUSED TAMPONS. THATS LIKE BEING GROSSED OUT BY UNUSED NAPKINS, OR CLEAN SHEETS, OR CLEAN UNDERWEAR. LIKE OMG ITS NOT GOING TO HURT YOU. ITS CLEAN. TAMPONS EXIST WHY DO WOMEN HAVE TO BE EMBARRASSED OR HIDE THEM. ugh
Once I had an unopened box of tampons in plain view and my stepdad acted like that was some huge breach of social etiquette. I asked why on earth he was acting so weird about it, and he said, “Well you wouldn’t want me leaving a box of condoms lying around would you?”
Okay first of all, that you’re even implying that tampons and condoms are comparable items is fucking stupid since condoms are used for sex and tampons are used to like, you know, not bleed all the fuck over ourselves during this biological function none of us can stop. So that begs the question of why the fuck you’re sexualizing periods or items required to live hygienically during one, wherein the answer is that you believe vaginas are inherently sexual and only exist as something to stick your dick in. Because me leaving an unopened box of tampons in view is literally the same thing as leaving a stick of deodorant or a bar of fucking soap out on the counter if you’re considering them by their function. But God forbid I remind you vaginas exist in neutral everyday circumstances and that they don’t just manifest when you wanna fuck one.
Lots of important lines in here

Secretary of State for Culture, and former political secretary to Thatcher who will “oversee the future of the BBC” – has a “pro-gambling” stance on betting addiction, claims that the BBC license fee is “worse than poll tax.” Also voted against same-sex marriage, against the fox hunting ban, and against a bill which required companies to reveal the gender pay gap. According to Work for You, he has voted against laws to promote equality and human rights consistently.
- Justin Tomlinson
– Minister for Disabled People – voted against protecting benefits for disabled children, the long term sick and disabled, and those undergoing cancer treatment. One thing he did vote for was the “bedroom tax,” which has already been ruled as “discriminat[ing] against disabled adults” in 2013 by a High Court – however, this was deemed “lawful”.
- Priti Patel

Minister of State for Employment at the Department for Work and Pensions
