Reminder that the moon that orbits the Earth has a name in English and that name is the Moon. There are lots of nicknames and names in other languages (Luna, for instance) but technically in English it is just the Moon. The concept of a moon is uncapitalized; our moon is the Moon.

I hope whoever got to write, submit, and get this headline published is having a wonderful day

Hands up who had a mouthful of charoset for breakfast before remembering it has red wine in it, and that's not how you should start the working day... 🙋🏻‍♀️

This is absolutely unbelievable. I feel a bit overwhelmed. I can't begin to imagine what those incredible astronauts are feeling. For all humanity! #ArtemisII

I'm not bothered about pizza. It's fine but I rarely have it. But... Yard Sale Pizza do a cheese and marmite garlic bread pizza and it is the most delicious thing ever.

Just saw a woman run and jump through the closing tube doors with the elegance of a gazelle. Inspirational really

Oh god, I've been out in charge of securing Celine Dion tickets. I pretty much never buy tickets when they're released or for artists where it will be a massive stress to buy for. Is this what Taylor Swift fans felt?!

I have lived in Walthamstow for 10 years. I've never been canvassed by Labour in any previous elections. They would leaflet but not a single door knock. In the last month, they have been here 3 times. They're properly rattled. And so they should be. Our MP calling the Greens a cult isn't helping.

What's the one small luxury that makes you really happy. Not big spender things like holidays or concerts, but little things. For me, it's Mutti tinned tomatoes. They are so much better than any other I've tried. Worth the money.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Today I was with someone who was fleeing a very serious domestic violence incident with their partner. This book is essential reading and I would encourage you to share with anyone experiencing domestic violence archive.org/download/Lun...

Question for my women pals here, do you ever sit in the front of a taxi if you're on your own? A driver just asked if I wanted to get in the front and I said no thanks because it was just me. Just wondering if that's me being neurotic or sensible?

I know it's not going to happen, but it would be REALLY handy for Scarlets to win tonight and deny Leinster the points #LEIvSCA

A LBP for Cardiff Not The Blues away at the Sharks is a good result. Not as good as winning, but given they nilled Munster last week, it feels a decent result and every point counts at this point in the season #SHAvCAR

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

At what point do you just use a bigger pot?

If there's one thing you should know about me, is I am a serial social media liker. I will like every post on my friends' social media. I'll tell them how awesome they are, I'll at minimum like their IG story. Be the biggest cheerleader for your friends. Tell them you love and admire them.

Other than not getting hot, does anyone have any tips to trying to control heat rash? Otherwise I fear i may have to cut my feet off and live the rest of my life with stubs.

May we all find someone who loves us as much as @joshgardner.bsky.social loves Thomas Ramos.

Nobody living outside of the UK should be able to donate to UK political parties/politicians. £300k is a ridiculously high amout from any one donor, the limit p/a should be significantly lower Crypto donations should clearly be banned (feels like no law because new tech and no ML worries before)

Just found this treasure from 2023 (i think). This was around the time I started calling him Scabby Sam.

I know hotels try and keep their eco credentials, but what is the point in telling guests to reuse towels and sheets to save water when AI is using tens if not hundreds of millions of gallons of water a day

Looking for book suggestions! What have you read recently that was amazing (doesn't have to be recently published). Fiction or non fiction is fine.

Crispin Blunt getting done for drug possession is the greatest political scandal since Anthony Weiner lost his job for sending out dick pics

Forever grateful to @rhigarthjones.bsky.social for introducing me to the brilliant Natalie Haynes so I get to read sentences like this.

Who asked for this?! I am begging theatre producers to stop destroying iconic films through the medium of musical theatre.

Reading about Atalanta, and I honestly think the world would be a better place if more mediocre men were punished for not being as good as a woman. Maybe not as extreme as death, like her suitors, but maybe an electric shock or something.

Just your regular reminder: Antisemitism = hatred of, and discrimination against Jewish people, named by Marr et al c1879 Anti-semitism = hatred of semitic all people ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa who may or may not be Jewish.

Absolutely terrifying. Absolutely no way I am flying to or through the US any time soon.

A terrorist attack against the Jewish community (again) is terrifying & heartbreaking. Seeing many antisemitic comments saying versions of 'they had it coming' because of the actions of a country thousands of miles away is maddening. You can help Hatzola by donating hatzolaw.org/support.htmle

That Justin Timberlake footage is so funny. He's so clearly absolutely hammered. Cop: What are you doing? Justin: Um, I’m on a world tour. C: A what? J: A world tour. c: Doing what? J: Um, um, hard to explain, um, ummmmm a world tour? I’m Justin Timberlake? Amazing 🤣

Being an adult is a scam.

My phone autocorrected Easter to Esther, which is the most jewish autocorrect ever

'Pure aura'. Amazing.

On the one hand, being the youngest person in this hotel by about 30 years means no awful hen parties or screaming kids. On the other, please god I hope I never turn into a boomer with their hateful opinions!

Even the headline is amazing ‘He said he hadn’t touched alcohol since Christmas – then downed four wines’

I know I travel a lot, so I know about these things, but I am fascinated by people who book flights with airlines like Ryanair and are then shocked when they're told they can't bring 73 bags on as hand luggage. Some woman kicking off because she thinks her cross body small bag isn't actually a bag.

God, this is really sad. 54 is far, far too young www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader. The worst song ever made. Worse than that Crazy Frog song.

I've never had a favourite judge outside of the UK... until now!

Incredibly disappointing news on the failure of the Assisted Dying Bill in the Scottish Parliament. I have always been in favour of having a safe and legal way to end your life. But nothing has made me more sure that this is the right thing to do than seeing my best friend's sister die from MS.

Holly does the most amazing work for cats in need. If you have any spare money, it would be so gratefully recieved.

That Mike Phillips lineout

What a fucking photo this is, by the way.

We're back to all the URC teams on the same numbers of played matches and positions 2-6 are really close. Tough few weeks coming up.

My reply to a friend who said she doesn't like sport because she doesn't like seeing people sad

Through all the twists, turns, and madness of this tournament, I think the table is pretty much spot on for where all the teams are. Really sad the 6 Nations is over for another year.

Well add it to the list shall we England? *sighs
