Usual Twitter transfer. Dog walks, phone photo's, dad puns, education, some politics, some family stuff, trying to maintain a 600 year old house. Please excuse the typos.
Sign of the times from Lincolnshire. Derelict golf course to be converted to 'shepherd's huts', holiday lodges and residential bunkhouse for educational purposes. The golf clubhouse becomes a cafe, shop. A lot about wellness, padel, pilates, wild swimming
They become radicalised by joining the Young Conservatives. Next.
In a post on X he says he’ll instead be advising the Conservative Party on how young men become radicalised
sometimes there is absolutely nothing more fun than understanding works of art through people's varied professional perspectives
You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Female blackbird with a berry, kestrel with lots of berries. #birds #photography

The return of white-tailed eagles to England has taken another step forward with the release of six young birds in Exmoor National Park - here's the moment the first eagle left the pen....
Went to Seaton today (dinosaurs! Trams!). Cruise ship passing along the coast. Mobile phone cameras are just incredible now. All unfiltered images.
This thread from the Spanish Foreign Office is really useful for anyone faced with mis/disinformation about the situation in Ceuta. There is one hell of a lot of that about at the moment!! Please use it to counteract ignorant claims, wherever they're from. It's available in French and Spanish too.
1/5 🧵 Entering Spain irregularly through Ceuta or Melilla does not grant any right to remain in the country, travel to mainland Spain, or move freely within Europe. It also poses a grave risk to life. No court ruling has changed this. 🔗 www.exteriores.gob.es/en/Comunicac...
This whole chest check thing is ridiculous. Will riders be checked to ensure that what's under their skin is not the result of surgery? If it is, would there be sanctions?

And for all those who doubt this'll work, please know they regulated the length of hat pins after women used them in self-defence: "The following year, legislators in New York argued that hatpins should not exceed 3 inches because of the physical damage they were doing to men across the nation."

Hands up if you think this is a trend we should bring back!

If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.
People commenting they're flying over a parched English landscape and "isn't it awful" perhaps need to consider cause and effect.
Just name the ones who haven't got a history of violence against women, it'll save time.
Far right thug who marched as "defender of women" battered his own mum Alan Miller took to streets on march to "Protect Our Women and Kids". We can now reveal that he was convicted of assaulting his own mum at her home www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/far-rig...
View from the deck this morning is misty and low cloud. Humid.

This is brilliant, (the explanation is in the replies).

Canberra's concrete bus shelters added to the ACT Heritage Register
'Icon of our history': Canberra bus shelters added to heritage register
Canberra's bus shelters were described as "concrete monstrosities" when installed in 1975 but have since been noted for their brutalist architectural style and functionality.

The Wurzels should cut an "I'm an AI Hater" cover of I'm a Cider Drinker. "I hates it all of the time." Could be an anthem.
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
This popped up on my Youtube recommends the other day and I watched it, perplexed, and I said, "I assume this is a reference to a very specific commercial unknown to Americans" and it is, but fortunately they play the actual commercial at the end
Perhaps the unlikeliest of comedy sketches to crop up in 2026, but also one of the funniest:
"We want to attract..." Dude, there was nothing stopping them up until this point. The userbase you have is the one that you're stuck with. You ain't going to slice anyone off from elsewhere. Those boundaries have hardened.

The Home Corner in any reception class is always an eye opener for teachers as the kids play out their own experiences. "Just go to f***ing bed!" at volume across a room of four year olds will always gain attention.
