Got chatting to a very nice man in a bird hide today who pointed out his fellow volunteers catching jack snipe to ring and he asked if we wanted to come watch (quickest yes! of my life). Look at his little livid face. Bewildered. Fuming

Liu and her father, who had protested the Chinese government after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were targeted in an alleged spying scheme months before Liu competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Hahahahaha. I am Welsh and have had ChatGPT do this, and so was extremely paranoid about how it had worked it out because I'm quite careful with what I use it for. Reassuring it thinks everyone is Welsh

This is a few days old now (which in the current news cycle feels like years) but I can't stop thinking about the flagrant racism we're witnessing at the moment www.theguardian.com/business/202...

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

Exclusive: 34 school contemporaries of Nigel Farage have now come forward to claim they saw him behave in a racist or antisemitic manner, raising fresh questions over the Reform leader’s evolving denials.

Listening to Rosalia - Berghain and my partner just walked in and casually said "well this is extremely Eurovision" and I honestly have nothing I can say back to that because if you cut out the last part ... god it really is

At the point of aging where my body still mostly works, knock wood, but I’ve started pointing and birds and trees and announcing their names.

A hard read www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-... France claimed: “He would chant, ‘BM, BM, we are British Nazi men,’ that really sticks in my mind ... Then he would be sort of singing these kind of ‘gas ’em all’ sort of songs.” "I remember, very clearly; absolutely 100% true.”

I wrote to my MP today to ask why she voted to proscribe Palestine Action. I genuinely want to hear her reasons. After sending I worried expressing my view that it was the wrong decision could be deemed as a supporting terrorism. That this crossed my mind shows we've gone seriously wrong somewhere

What a monumental waste of time and money. This is embarrassing www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

EXCLUSIVE: Investigation proves Palestinians indiscriminately shot by Israeli military near food sites across 50 days, from yours truly for the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Wow this is incredibly moving

Have memory of going to the dump mentioned in this article and sitting on my dad's shoulder throwing in bottles to the bottle bank for what felt like eternity. A fond memory, though with hindsight god my parents used to get through the booze www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Write a rap about Cyril the swan immediately

Errr. What? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Also have vivid memories of sitting around and waiting FOR HOURS listening to the radio because I wanted to record Coolio for my own mixtape. Recording off the radio. Feel elderly

I used to be a prolific mix tape giver and with hindsight I bet most of them were godawful and hope the friends and former crushes have binned the evidence www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

This is deeply worrying www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Have loved reading some of the Facebook comments today of people frothing over Charli xcx at Glastonbury. Men furious there was autotune! No guitars! It's giving me energy

I like my job, work a 9 day fortnight, but at least once a week I send text to a friend saying I can't believe we are expected to work more than we live and there aren't riots about it www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is hard reading www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The Guardian relaunches app and updates homepage design

Great article by my old friend. "The change in tactics pose a question for Keir Starmer’s government, which has signed on to a far more deadly campaign without a vote in parliament. There is also a question for the US and UK on the legal justification for the attacks against the Houthis."

NB: Last successful Houthi attack on commercial vessel (recorded by JMIC) was Oct. 2024. Last attempted attack was an Israeli ship, 18 Nov. 2024. Single incident in Dec. was attempted on supply vessel for US navy. Arguing strikes are to stop Houthi attacks in Red Sea doesn't hold water (excuse pun).

I didn't want to see it go but I really hope it thrives now it has

"You’re about to rise from the dead, and you’re feeling ambivalent at best. Are you expected to just emerge from the tomb and greet your disciples like nothing happened?" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/how...

A deliberate and direct insult to any woman who has ever aspired to self respect.

Yeah you're all mean. It's not as if she's been given the permanent job. They're celebs filling in. I can't bring myself to read it because I've got a soft spot for her

I love this story. I love that the Harris hawk was caught by a man named Steve Harris and I love love love this particular para: "Determined to stop the attacks after weeks of being forced to wear a cycling helmet while out running" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
