Haha, nice one @privateeyenews.bsky.social !

Congratulations to Andy Burnham for winning The Masked Singer.

Earth is an oasis in the desert of space. If aliens 👽 arrived here we’d definitely know about it, and not in a good way. People also claim that they’ve seen ghosts 👻 – but that doesn’t mean that ghosts are objectively real. (Extraterrestrial life - likely, but that’s a different thing)

Love #DavidHockney – a visit to Salt’s Mill is now on the cards this weekend. Bradford is so very different to California, but the loneliness is still a central feature of his work.

Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. We’ve campaigned so long for this! Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now our young people will have a chance to get to know & love the natural world, to feel awe & wonder, & gain skills to protect it 🌷🌳🦡

Why is their need greater than anyone else’s? Unbelievable sense of entitlement. The flack they’re going to get from this article* will likely eclipse the “boos” they received from the hikers waiting patiently in the queue for the summit. *British 🇬🇧 readership www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’d like a reasonably priced air con solution that is powered by solar – panels and battery in a fully self-contained setup – why is this so difficult*? Capturing a block of cold morning air in the 🏠 is working for now. *possibly something to do with energy companies and their shareholders

This made me smile. It’s a good thread – click and read through. Hallucinated references are are definitely becoming an issue in some #EducationalResearch journals

Great fun, but I agree it was absolutely brutal.

Happy Birthday to Margaret Calvert today. 90 years old and what an impact! Her work is in every local town. A Margaret thread 🧵1/11

First pint in #Glasgow and, for me, a first view of the #RiverClyde Really looking forward to exploring this great city. Cheers! 🍻 #Cityscape #Industrial #Scotland #Photography

I ❤️ #MayDay Bank Holiday Partly because it sometimes falls on my birthday but really it’s because it’s just such a beautiful time of year in England. The #beach yesterday and #NorthCave #wetlands today - where I saw a #Bittern in flight - glorious! #EastRiding #Yorkshire #Nature #Photography

Beautiful day here; May is just around the corner #EastRiding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Psilocybin research definitely needs more funding; I think it’s a good call here from the US

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote for HistoryExtra , but here's an excerpt! 🗃️🧪

Incredible talent

AMOC collapse: if this happens – as some scientists are predicting – it’s still a long way off and that’s the issue here. Humans don’t tend to act unless things are directly upon them (and even then the potential severity fails to register, remember COVID-19 anyone?).

I used to love Milk Tart – the best school pudding *ever* – and we always had savoury and sweet suet puddings on the home menu at least once a fortnight. (This article has inspired me to make some oatcakes from scratch and a steak and ale suet pud)

Should authors that have been found* to have used AI in an unacceptable** way (e.g., fake references) be penalised? #EducationalResearch ? *Investigations cost money - academic publishing is a racket anyway - which is why journals will let this slide. **Is it ever acceptable for writing?

I can’t give blood (recipient of a blood transfusion) but I know that I would if I could. The world needs more people like Nigel www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1016 years ago, on the 8th of March 1010, Persian poet Ferdowsi completed the epic poem Shahnameh. In the longest epic poem by a single author, the Shahnameh handles the mythical and historic past of Iran from creation until the Muslim conquest. #otd #history 🗃️

Englishness: as represented by objects* For me: Stories - folk and fairy tales: e.g. Fi-Fi-Fo-Fum Green - wood; patchwork fields; hedgerow; marsh Stone - abbeys; castles; barrows What about you? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 *objects are not always physical

Spotted a scarlet elf cup on my stroll through the marsh the other day, no #hedgehogs 🦔 though 🦔 🦔 Beautiful work #Spring #Fungi

Childhood reading leaves scars. When I was lounging on the sofa, watching Scooby-Doo, I always had the uneasy feeling that my school holidays should look like this instead #WorldBookDay Artist: AN Buchanan

Palm oil is the leading cause of orangutan decline and affects 193 threatened species worldwide. The government cannot ignore this. Stronger action is urgently needed. #ProtectNature #Deforestation Full response 👉 hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2026-0...

Is #autism a spectrum? The problem with categorisation is that clear definitions are needed and as soon as these definitions become looser - more accommodating of difference - they lose their usefulness. I think Prof. Frith is absolutely right; we are all neurodiverse. #EduSky

Fascinating article. May be of interest to folks following @chatbiology.bsky.social

This should be a wake-up call for Labour. I certainly think it will provide a catalyst for the leadership challenges to come out into the open. The good news? It demonstrates the electorate is prepared to vote tactically to keep the far right out. Well done to Hannah Spencer @greenparty.org.uk
