The UK gov is about to close a consultation period relating to extending the minimum requirement for Earned Settlement for foreign carers from 5 to 15 years work. The carer I was talking to today said he will leave the UK if that happens, and I don't blame him. There's going to be a crisis in care.

Once again. I chose the wrong career.

Man who doesn't turn up to do his job, tells a room full of retired people that working from home is bad.

Tech is unable to show you what TV and films you might like to watch on the front menu of a streaming service (even though you give away your tastes with every digital interaction) while they’re also insisting that the same tech will be able to make vital everyday decisions for you and your country.

I really love the photo in the middle of this piece too!

Just a quick note to @greenparty.org.uk and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social - I was not consulted on being quoted on your leaflets and I have not endorsed your campaign (or any campaign in this seat). I think this note, like the bar chart next to it, is misleading and out of context.

Staying on the theme of dusk shots from the archives, here's one from March 2019 at the extremely cool Stokksnes beach. #Iceland #Canon5DIV

A few aspen scenes made during blue hour. Late light softens contrast, drains color, and lets the white bark stand out naturally. One of my favorite times to photograph aspens, right after the obvious moment passes.

One of the world's most majestic granite spires, Mount Cerro Torre in Patagonia, Argentina, is clothed in intense alpen glow, its reflection broken by thin ice which formed during the cold, windless night. #photography #nature #bluesky #landscape #mountains #landscapephotography #naturephotography

What have you done, @aptshadow.bsky.social ?

Palace fans are being asked to vote on a bespoke paint job for one plane from the club's "Official Airline Partner. What is not shown are the words "The referee's a w*nker" on the other side of option A. #cpfc

This is a great idea, because until now Ai uptake has been limited only to the most discerning and well-informed.

Nice to see AI doing so well that it has to rely on govt subsidy to provide its training data.

It's difficult to convey the face I'm making in words but essentially it's eyes of horror with a strong grimace and an angry frown and a general air of weary despair.

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. #bluesky #photography #landscape #birds #nature #art #landscapephotography #naturephotography #sunrise

Just 45 more Tory MPs joining Reform and Ed Davey becomes leader of the opposition

Damn I made the wrong career choice

I wish everyone was as heavily invested in Jet Lag: The Game a they are the Traitors. The season finale is going to be spectacular!

So, how to avoid Traitors spoilers without switching off the internet entirely?

Now, where did I leave that Trade Bazooka?...

I've just watched the French part of Mark Carney's speech at the beginning, and my French isn't that good, but I think he announced that the World Cup Final is being moved to Vancouver. I'll report back when I've watched the English bit...

this is good because you really don’t hear a lot about the history of Manchester United these days

No, wait!... this is my best photo of last night's Aurora display near Lancaster.

“If people don’t buy our product then we’ll just have to stop making it.” Well yes, that’s how things work.

absolutely insane aurora in the Netherlands last evening. Taken Just 10 minutes from my house

@thebilldelgrosso.bsky.social Wrong "Tom Nicholls" - sorry!

If you're calling your competiton a "cup" then you need to be able to drink out of the trophy, I'm sorry but those are the rules. Vases are vases, plates are plates, shields are shields, cups should be cups.

Fact: In Lancashire, the Aurora causes thick cloud and rain.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

As an alternative to retaliatory tariffs, I much prefer Cory Doctorow's idea to hit US tech directly and de-enshittify tech for good - repeal anti-circumvention laws: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Winter turned up on the final day of 2025. Frozen sunrise on the River Brathay in the Lake District. Happy New Year!

Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt
