I’ve never watched Person of Interest before but it is on Netflix so I thought I’d give it a go. Given season 1 was pre AI it is definitely interesting. Season 1, Episode 11 has some interesting thoughts, “It is a black box”

Hurrah, my spitting spiders are back. This one is really tiny and needs to eat. One day, I'll get to see one catching something.

Scared of Spiders? The Real Nightmare Is a World Without Them

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Lovely naturalistic relief of a Hoopoe and Ibis, carved by an Egyptian artisan some 4,500 years ago! Limestone wall relief from the 5th Dynasty mortuary temple of Userkaf at Saqqara. Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

this photo leaves little to the imagination

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

'Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens.' Rodgers and Hammerstein predict the middle aisle of Aldi.

btw how the NHS works here is that every specialism is at a different hospital or community clinic site, so if you don’t drive then you’re paying £££ for taxis or taking all day taking three buses each way to get to an outpatient appointment. This is one of England’s biggest cities

If you want to know why we don’t have a tram or metro…most of us in Leeds use buses and they work on a hub and spoke system just in and out of the city centre and even then…nothing really works

I started my career as a Körner implementation clerk in 1987. Since then I have spent most of my career in jobs with data, information or analyst in the title, all working with NHS data to try and improve public health. I retired last year. This is one of the most exciting developments I’ve seen.

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

I’ll just check my unique and witty take really is unique before I post it!

On a audio-only call and there was a bit of a kerfuffle in the background. Explanation: his cat has worked out that the most effective way to get his attention is to press the chair lever that makes the seat sink towards the floor, which is my new favourite mental image. Is this a common cat trick?

Seeing another post made me think of this. Antibiotics are less than 100 years old. Before then you could have died of many STDs or just a minor cut that had gone septic. The first NHS kidney dialysis unit was opened in 1956, 60 years ago. Without artificial kidneys people just died.

Stay well, feel as positive as you can. Today we get 9:26:21 of daylight. Tomorrow we get 4m30s more than today. If you can, take a stroll, breathe some air, get some light on your face. #daylightbot

The study found that children enrolled in Parton’s Imagination Library “were 5 times more likely to be interested in reading, 11 times more likely to be interested in books, and 15 times more likely to join in during shared reading, compared to children who aren't enrolled.”

do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

Daylight is changing, day by day. Today we get 4m26s more than yesterday and tomorrow we get 4m28s more than today. Every day, things change. #daylightbot

Just going to leave this here

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok. If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

@jeremybartlett.bsky.social I don’t suppose you could help?

Honestly, 2026 is getting weirder and weirder. A first world war shell was found in the rectum of a patient in Toulouse.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Three men hunting for a rat in a bale of hay in the Holme Valley. I watched a bathtub career down a hill near Marsden. All those moments will be lost in time, like stockings on a clothesline in the wind.

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25

How British queues got out of hand timharford.com/2026/01/how-...

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Age gating VPNs is a truly horrible idea. Teenagers deserve some kind of private access to the internet – which might mean LGB resources, or access to contraception or abortion advice, or resources to help with parental abuse. Shutting them off puts them in greater danger. This is just bad policy.

If I need to get away from things, I go to a motorway service station. Everybody is self-interested. Nobody cares what you're up to, to the point where you're invisible. There's just something funny about these tiny islands of hyper-busy civilisation, in the middle of nowhere.

A life without #dogs is possible but pointless! A tiny yet marvellous figurine of a dog (height 1.6 cm) made of blue glass and decorated with yellow and white threads. The unique figurine was found in a Celtic burial at Wallertheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, dating 2nd c. BC. 📷 Landesmuseum Mainz
