Another day out at the British Museum. Two exhibitions, lunch in the Friends Room then a walk through Seven Dials and Chinatown for ice cream, food supplies and skincare. Lovely day with @aurora

Wake up, check the world hasn't ended, onto the routine of the day

Walked to @englishheritage.bsky.social #wrestpark today. Missed the showers. I couldn’t have walked this 5 weeks ago 😇 #proud

One detects the possibility of a pattern

Weird? Soreen (malt loaf) and NikNaks (crisps) are the best!

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Extraordinary photograph, destined I suspect to illustrate what comes next - for good or bad.

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads

Just finished reading this and it’s excellent. Loved the historical background but the story of a widow and a conman is compelling, keeping me hooked right to the last page! Loved it @laurasrobinson.bsky.social #historicalfiction #books

(4/4) Furthermore, for anyone to infer that Ukrainians are not brave is beyond contempt. Ukrainian people and their President are amongst the bravest people I’ve ever had the honour to meet.

We have just received these beautiful scallop shells at the cathedral. They are from Orkney waters; cleaned, drilled and threaded by lovely volunteers Stuart, Corwen and Kate. You will receive one, along with a certificate, if you complete the St Magnus Way pilgrimage. Photo by Corwen.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

There goes federal funding for #archaeology and #ethnology fieldwork in US...

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

Great news. It's a must watch ...

Whey this is a great picture PA Media

Scoop: The Trump administration reversed its decision to terminate a U.S. initiative that documents alleged Russian war crimes, including the mass abuction of Ukrainian children to Russia. It's a rare about-face following pressure from U.S. lawmakers and Christian evangelicals

Walz: There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA.

There’s thousands of Ukrainian soldiers just like Anton, fighting to protect their home and their people from Russia’s invasion. But now President Trump is risking each of them and their families to side with the war criminal Putin.

If you've heard me talking about repatriation claims, you've seen this photo of empty storage containers for paintings stolen from a monastery in Kathmandu in 1980 and eagerly sought ever since. Well - they're finally back in Nepal!

Countless emails asking how Americans can directly aid Ukrainian soldiers. Here’s an easy answer: savelife.in.ua/en/

Ancient Assyrian kings didn’t just go to war with other kings. They battled queens of the Arabian peninsula, including the formidable Queen Samsi who may even be depicted on a lost stone relief mid-battle on the back of a camel. Fascinating piece by Ellie Bennet anetoday.org/samsi-queen-...

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.
