When the world is upside down, and our young species is knowingly soiling its own nest, it is humbling and wondrous to explore the brilliant life of bees. Natural selection has acted on them for many millions of years and they’ve learned a thing or two! www.disneyplus.com/play/df1b937...

This is what we need to be focused on. It’s humbling.

Oh my giddy aunt this site following Artemis 11’s flight is amazing. Thank you NASA. www.nasa.gov/missions/art...

Lying in my bed in Rome awe inspired by Artemis take off crying my eyes out. Aged 14 I watched the first flight to the moon and will never for get the wonder. The courage of these men and this woman and their families is beyond words. The wonder of this stretches the mind, heart and soul.

Higgs boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces 'catastrophic' cuts. [It was an international triumph, technically, but I get it...] www.bbc.com/news/article...

New in House Magazine — a new short story by Guy Ware: Rubbish May Be Shot Here, 1937

But they will be wining and dining with someone mentioned in the files one million times. Go figure! It’s embarrassingly tasteless. No Kings! news.sky.com/story/no-pla...

One hates to think how he will vent to the King if Starmer is brutal enough to continue with the Royal visit. I think best to say his Maj has a jippy tum and sends regrets! news.sky.com/story/iran-w...

I’m not a monarchist by any stretch, but if Starmer is going to use soft power he should use it wisely. Perhps it would be better not to send the King to be greeted by a President mentioned in the Files, and to have the UK insulted in a speech. We all know it will happen. Date of visit TBA!

Things I never expected to say in my lifetime. Me: “Don’t flatter me. You are a useful machine don’t communicate as if you were my friend. Keep responces to my prompts direct and factual. I will investigate further using my organic brain.“ Claude AI: Understood. Post written by a human!

This is an encouraging article. “Reading is so sexy,” Kaia Gerber. I’m with you all the way Kaia. It’s also enlightening, enriching, fulfilling, heartbreaking and just plain old good fun. I’ll do it till my eyes burn out. www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026...

Nicholas Royle traces copies of Oscar Moore's "A Matter of Life and Sex" through charity shops, inscriptions & old business cards – a beautiful piece on books, strangers & the stories objects carry. His new book "Finders, Keepers" is out 14 April. Read it in House Magazine ⬇️

Kepp out of it Starmer. You can’t sit on the fence with this one! This is not our war. We were not consulted, it is very dangerous, and leave it alone. Spain has spoken loud and clear! Listen! www.bbc.com/news/live/ce...

Interesting article by Sam Freedman. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

edu.rsc.org/opinion/toug... This is so true! “...students are acutely aware of the sustainability challenges they face, and education is crucial to ensuring they are equipped to deal with these challenges and thrive in a green economy." Sadly we have a very long way to go! #science #education

I think the answer is yes! This is also true "the danger of AI lit: that it traps us in a doom-spiral of nostalgia, unmoored from time and space, just a constant remix of the past." The richer question is will writers still want/need to write? YES YES and YES observer.co.uk/news/science...

Happy 50th, Muppets! As a child, answering their fan mail taught me so much My extraordinarily lucky childhood spent sorting mailbags helped me understand the power of creativity and kindness, writes Erica Wagner https://bit.ly/3Zl4aGY

How did Hachette let this slip through the net? How many of their people read it before it was green lit? It’s just a tad depressing! #humanwriter www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/b...

“The rate of warming is entirely unprecedented...We have never had 8 billion people on the planet when it happened before...it is becoming increasingly clear that Trump’s policies will seriously hinder the world’s ability to slow the pace of planetary warming." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/c...

Love @bylinetimes.bsky.social I've been an avid reader since it began. Well worth subscribing to.

I’m no luddite. I see the value of AI but this no. On so many levels no! Actors, writers, musicians, artists: all in the creative arts need to be protected. Frankly if we also have to defend the dead from AI it’s getting a little silly. Permission from estate yikes! news.sky.com/story/ai-gen...

Fascinating stuff.

These are serious times. Rally together. Decisive party politics look foolhardy and selfish. Grizzling about change while the gov needs to keep out of one war, continue to fend off Putin while dealing with the consequences of 2 wars initiated by bellicose tyrants is daft news.sky.com/story/politi...

Starmer standing firm for UK and Europe and playing the long game. He is not a charismatic but his calm is needed now. let’s stand by our PM during this unsettled time Shttps://www.cnn.com/2026/03/18/europe/trump-king-charles-visit-iran-intl?cid=ios_app

edition.cnn.com/2026/03/17/p... “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,"

Trump has a big challenge - and he wants Europe's help news.sky.com/video/share-...

OOPS! So now he wants some help. Good luck with that! 1,000 and rising ships stuck…who would have thought…well actually quite a lot of people but why not start a war..let's just see how it goes! Perhaps all that sustainable energy wasn’t such a bad idea after all! edition.cnn.com/world/live-n...

...and while you’re at it tell Trump to take a running jump next time you’re chatting with him on the phone. This is not our war! This belongs to the USA and Isreal both renown for their love of peace, tolerance, and human rights!!! news.sky.com/story/keir-s...

I was shocked to hear a news presenter suggest that the young service people on HMS Dragon were setting off on an adventure. Tone deaf to say the least!

Been off all screens for a few weeks due to eye issues. Back now and….well there are no words! The voices of calm reason come from my family, some dear friends and some podcasts. Amid the chaos @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social manages to meld intellectual clarity, and realism, with hope. A valued skill.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Italian trains blow me away. So comfy and not expensive. Off to Florence with a student for 2 days. So excited. I love that enchanting city.

So far humans have done a piss poor job! AI Can Help Organizations Adapt To A Changing Planet AI can help us adapt to climate change as well as fight it. Climate scientists already use AI to improve extreme-weather forecasts, saving lives through earlier warnings www.forbes.com/sites/shooka...

WoW this is very interesting! GO Greens1 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/gre...

Wow Italian efficiency when it comes to domestic issues is amazing. Problem with leaking boiler, made call, plumber will be here in a couple of hours no sweat! The Italian chapter in my life is pure joy! Rome is not only a beautiful city but its people are kind, warm and a joy to be around. #rome

This is very exciting. Thank you to all at Salt. I am thrilled people will get to know a woman, and her astonishing family,lost in history, yet present in so many ways.
