#TheHack a cracking start. The weight of truth telling against nearly insurmountable odds or the ability of money to suppress what might attack it. I hope @theguardian.com is feeling some pride. Excellent performances.

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

I love #London it's a wonderful place to bring up children, live, work and have my being. My bit of London is now full of Americans and they are a delight too. #Mayor #SaddiqiKhan #Hackney

#America, we seem to have something of yours. Collect soonest or it goes into Unclaimed Lost Property and I warn you the forms you have to fill in are a nightmare.

Up to my ears in #sludge with #VirginMedia the opposite of #nudge The stuff companies require of us when we want something from them instead of flinging them our money. Bot & I are on p15 of the transcript. We are on a slow revolve and, as they are a bot, it’s me that will blink first. And scream.

In spring 2025, girls aged 10-18 shared their thoughts and experiences of Rowntree Park in York, and other public parks more broadly. Their voices highlight what makes these spaces feel welcoming - and what could be improved. Part of a local project to raise awareness and improve things.

Caption this. I offer you, “Truly, Officer, it turned from a sausage sizzling on the portable barbecue to a raging inferno in a minute, what could I do?” The Times photo credit. Very creditable.

A visit to the lovely #Estorick Collection to see the beautiful and curious Claudio Parmiggiani exhibition. An artist who works with absence and shadows. And soot.

Thanks Stacey! @yecats47.bsky.social @dancinginthestreet.bsky.social @marla014.bsky.social @jb725.bsky.social @raidergs.bsky.social @allanjenkins21.bsky.social @brida218.bsky.social @kissmyace247.bsky.social @maverick314.bsky.social @pkradio.bsky.social @moberzan.bsky.social

Absolutely disgusting & disgraceful. Pull the trigger immediately Democratic governors. "Under this map, a Hispanic Texan’s vote counts about one-third, and a Black Texan’s just one-fifth, compared to a white Texan’s" #txlege #texasdemocrats #racism #texas #racism

Now would be the (long overdue) time to recognise Palestine's statehood. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Three terrifying #BlackHawks over #Hackney, #London. I shook my fist at them and offered up some of the Scottish Protesters thoughts on the Trumpet.

Agyemang means “saviour of the nation”. You couldn’t make it up. #ENG #Lionesses #Agyemang

#Lionesses ROAR ON CHAMPIONS

Literally the very least we can all do is sign this petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

#Lionesses trying hard I know but gimme flair and a couple of goals please. Soonish. #HardToWatch

@ayshahtull.bsky.social thank you for your coverage tonight, the midwifery story and Malak’s story were so well done.

@channel4news.bsky.social excellent coverage of #Malak ‘s story, I hope we hear tomorrow that the UK Government has found a way to ease the visa process allowing her to come from #Gaza to university here. It shouldn’t need your intervention but I am glad you chose to cover this story.

Deeply shocking - an abnegation of responsibility by #Labour Bacteria know no borders. #FlemingFund

#Lionesses! #Lucky. But very happy.

A very easy way to respond to the UK Government’s latest consultation on removing protection from small green spaces to allow development. It makes me weary, this constant ability to do the wrong thing, wish I was surprised but here we are. action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/173184/...

Thanks to an incredibly generous former student, we have some wonderful news for archaeology at Birkbeck: a new institute. The Carena Institute of Sustainable Archaeologies will enable research projects, support global collaborations, and fund studentships as well. www.bbk.ac.uk/research/cen...

Our government thinks it has the power to instruct doctors to prioritise some patients over others who may have greater need clinically. Their innocence would be touching if it were not so foolish and/dangerous.

Good summer solstice morning to you. View at Stonehenge.

America's descent into suppression of dissent 🧵 I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent. They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

Bales to trusses, as I am sure you have wondered occasionally how much is a #Truss? The back of a very old maths book that never had the things you needed to answer questions, like Truss. I'm not bothering with pecks and chains and all that malarkey, one of the many reasons I love metric measures.

Hi friends - In the face of unprecedented cuts to the basic research science funding, climate scientists are staging an 100-hour live stream of why science matters. There will be many talks on all sorts of things (I'm Saturday at 12:30 PT). Please share widely! wcstreamathon.netlify.app. 🌊🧪

Good visual showing the churn of UK voters since last year’s General Election.

“Death, death, horrible death” - monuments to people, black and white, who died on farms. It’s a safe bet that this ludicrous individual will be on the wrong side of any issue.

Wild camping on Dartmoor is legal, supreme court rules

To all the voices, large and small, who are bravely, defiantly, righteously rising in defense of American freedom, I am eternally grateful! ⚖️🗣️🗽 Please join me in elevating and supporting these everyday heroes! May we fight in #unity for what we hold most dear! Onward! 👊 go.bsky.app/PPjXxrk

Pretty cool guy if you ask me

This is the final stage of tetanus when the nerves fire continuously and the body contorts into an agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. Additionally, the mastication muscles clamp down to form the hallmark lockjaw. Now housed at @surgeonshall.bsky.social #VaccinesWork #Vaccines

#IslandOfStrangers from the lovely Michael Rosen. These are no strangers. Just humans like me and you, unless you are a bot in which case listen up and learn.

Portugal is taking online disinformation and fake news seriously. As part of a broader attempt to encourage media literacy, it’s offering 15-18 year olds a free digital subscription to a range of respected newspapers and magazines as well as online upstarts that don’t spread lies. (Monocle)

#Bloomscrolling I offer the incomparable Lily of the Valley and a street #Peony.

A Leica isn’t just a camera — it’s a philosophy. I’m now offering private Leica and black-and-white photography workshops in Venice and Budapest. One-to-one, focused on storytelling, and rooted in my lifelong love for shadow, silence, and soul. www.marcosecchi.com/leica-photog...

I so hope that this is true. #GodsOwnJunkyard

We need EVERYONE to see this advert for a Head of Operations at the Palace (£40-45k). Otherwise we might get some kind of numpty in charge. Please share. If we get 50 shares we'll post a video of #CuratorRob playing a hoover like a didgeridoo. hr.breathehr.com/recruitment/...

Canada, we’re with you! TRUMPISM IS REPUDIATED IN AUSTRALIA! #auspol

#SaturdayMorning has arrived once again so, here's "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It has always seemed to me to epitomise the ideal way to start a long, lazy week-end. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

They are now - literally - pontificating.

La Table au Diable, Normandy, France. A very solid allée couverte structure dating to the end of the Neolithic. Legend says evil spirits lure the unwary here with the promise of silver coins and then rough them up. Heritage protection from beyond the veil. #TombTuesday 🏺

Champagne and optimism can help #cardiac health. My kind of science.

I have waited my whole life, for this moment....

And burned 130+alive

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

An emotional day - my husband's friend (and former agent) came to the @covidmemorialwall.bsky.social for the first time to see his heart. Many tears. The impact of this monument is profound. ❤️

On a packed train. Humans at their best, shuffling about so people can sit together, finding oblivious owner of a yellow suitcase, passing biscuits to & fro - and worst. Looking at you lady with the loud voice who thinks we all want to know about your morning story of seeking the yoga mat. Hard no
