R.I.P. David Burke. Seen here with Jeremy Brett in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Solitary Cyclist (15th May 1984)

They all hate us because our Eurovision entry is the worst of our music while the rest of them send their best.

One of the cats has done a disappearing act and the other now lives under our bed. Otherwise, adopting a dog has gone smoothly. Anyone got any tips for dealing with the cat situation (dog has lived with cats before and they were pals)

15th May 1971, T. Rex performed at the Albert Hall, Nottingham as part of their UK tour. The concert is notable because a photo taken by Kieron 'Spud' Murphy at the gig was later used for the iconic cover of their album "Electric Warrior". #TRex #MarcBolan

For anyone who needs to see a clock, here's a #painting from the west of Ireland. "Westport Clock I" was painted because, well I've spent a bit of time in the County Mayo town and it does junctions really well. Have I mentioned I like junctions...? #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

"In the western US, it soared to 46.7C in the aptly named Furnace Creek, California....the highest temperature recorded in the country so far this year and exceptionally high for mid-May" Expect 50C+ in many parts of the world as the coming super El Nino builds www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Murdering ancient trees that took 400 years to grow because of whatever bullshit reason you invented and thought you could get away with should cost you more than a new car IMHO.

Fucked around. Found out. Still wish there was a fine on top because that restocking is only going to cost £7,360 in stuff, and maybe £1,766 in labour if they don’t feel like being on the spade themselves for a few days. www.forestryjournal.co.uk/news/2610956...

Analysis by @oceanauk.bsky.social finds oil + chemical spills at sea occur much more frequently than officially reported. share.google/dWXSlNVpHdfY... 3/4

When meaningful restrictions are in place in MPAs, the results are clear: nature bounces back. Charities including @oceanauk.bsky.social argue bottom trawling shouldn't be allowed in any Marine 'Protected' Areas, + that oil + gas drilling in UK waters harms wildlife. share.google/3JgdJacLlpwT...

Indeed.

I feel like, at some point, we've all felt like this tree feels #Dartmoor #Devon

Yeah no shit.

Once driven from their fishing waters when they didn't want to switch to bigger, more "efficient" shipping vessels, Aboriginal communities fought to regain control of their coastal waters. Now, they're reshaping fishing in the Northern Territory: story.futureoffood.org/beacons/aust...

It's minor on here but I find it v depressing that each time I post about moths I get people telling me how evil they are because they fly around frantically and eat clothes. 1. They're not evil & have no less right to fly around than you do to walk. 2. FEWER THAN 0.1% OF MOTH SPECIES EAT CLOTHES.
