that is the very definition of cutting it fine France. #FRAvENG

#FRAvENG This was not the match I was expecting to see.

#IREvSCO Ach weel. Ireland did play well.

When I say I want to read a silly, frivolous book, I don't want that book to be poorly written.

Liza Minnelli is 80 today. This is a very obvious choice but it is right, simply because it is one of the greatest things humans achieved during the otherwise dreary 20th century. Mein Herr from Cabaret. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgjO...

Travelodge? The letting a man into a woman’s room to sexually assault her Travelodge? Turning away vulnerable women who had rooms booked late at night? What a shame it would be if nobody stayed there ever again. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

This is appalling

#ITAvENG go Italia!

#SCOvFRA Jaw-dropping match there.Well done Scotland!

US, late 1800s, Kittie Knox was among a small group of African American women cyclists in Boston. Kittie broke taboos by wearing knickerbockers,which she designed herself #WomensHistoryMonth

This story is staggering.

Two children dressed in inflatable pig outfits have just walked by me. Guess it’s World Book Day.

“Pioneer” is the word: lesbian heroine Sylvia Townsend Warner wrote 7 utterly distinct novels which you probably don’t know since they are all so different to each other, 150 short stories, a history of Tudor church music and much else. Her (umpteen) letters are fascinating. Please repost to help.

If you teach please show your students this. If you're a student, please read this. The answers LLMs generate are not all alike. They are more likely to hallucinate on topics we don't already know a lot about. Even answers with "sources" shouldn't be trusted. leahbroad.substack.com/p/chatgpts-a...

'Crocus & Daffodils' by UK contemporary painter Susan Entwistle #WomensArt #spring #March

Personally I wouldn't listen to him because he sold the house out from under his ex wife while she was actively dying of cancer

Post a pic you took, no contex, to bring some zen to the feed.

I would just like everyone to know that even though Baloo Bear is a very small puppy when I told him Reforn had lost the election he got up on his hind legs and did a little jig while squeaking with joy.

Wasn’t sure about #SmallProphets but on balance I liked it and there were some lovely moments if somewhat uneven.

1200? But not every word by then. This is fun, enjoyed the cod M.R. James particularly.

Five authors by whom I’ve read at least five books: Alice Thomas Ellis Dorothy L Sayers Angela Carter Henry James Patrick O’Brien.

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. Oh I so need therapy.

#WALvSCO This is so Scotland.

They make it all look so effortless, don’t they? #FigureSkating

Curling is just not that exciting.

Christ #BBC what do I have to do to just watch the #FigureSkating at the #WinterOlympics?

*punches air*

Wow.

Mark Zuckerberg is actually dead and has been reanimated via AI.

The Guardian fulfilling its daily WH article but this is worth reading.

Ach poor Kirsty #WinterOlympics

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

*squints at incredibly bright thing in the sky*

Christ, poor Ilia Mallinin. Perhaps they should have the team after the individual #WinterOlympics #FigureSkating

So many falls in the men’s #FigureSkating

Do wish broadcasters could grasp that a lot of us are watching the #WinterOlympics because we want to watch this sport and not because an athlete happened to be born in the same country.

I am sure someone came up with double luge when they were drunk. #WinterOlympics

Streisand effect the hell out of this - let their names be known

*uses this as excuse to eat hot cross bun*

Up next in preparation for The Last @backlisted.bsky.social Of All* Can’t believe I’ve never got round to this when I’ve read everything else from The Discarded Image to Fern seed & Elephants. *for a while.

Ach poor Lilah and Lewis. I like their #FreeDance in tge #FigureSkating. OTOH now know for certain what a twizzle is.

FFS BBC just let me watch the #FigureSkating rather than faffing about like this.

Everyone has obviously watched Dune this Olympics. #FigureSkating #WinterOlympics

Malinin (?) just incredible. Those backflips! #WinterOlympics #FigureSkating

“There is no occasion to pick up an unfamiliar book out of sheer curiosity. Every book that the site’s algorithm recommends is similar to one that you have purchased already. In this way, you encounter nothing but iterations of yourself forever.”

“Lastly the ski biathlon is a very clear answer to the question, ‘Is it a good idea to invade Finland?’ That answer is no.”

The real point is this: so you heard people speaking a language you don’t understand, so what? So what? It’s not only not a big deal it isn’t a deal detectable with a microscope. Not everyone speaks English and no-one is obliged to make sure you can eavesdrop on their conversations. /5

It would be nice if we could have a PM who lasts more than a few months, frankly. Dunno about you lot, but I am tired of politics being a constant exhausting drama driven by hot takes, newsletter posts, lobby corrs interviewing other lobby corrs, gossip and memes.
