Calling all science followers and educators, #eduphysics #eduscience I am looking for book titles for a 11y old who is dead keen on science to read before she joins secondary school in September, thanks everyone, PS please share even if you are not sure yourselves

@alomshaha.bsky.social di you see my DM?

top tip: For good e-bike battery management you're not supposed to leave them on full charge, so I had to do a ride just to knock it off a little. Lovely little ride in the low cloud and drizzle, and for the record other road users very courteous www.strava.com/activities/1...

We’ve been in a power cut for nearly 2 hrs now. On the local FB sites things are getting desperate. Expecting the posts soon “It’s the potholes, it’s cos the bins aren’t collected, bungs to councillors and not putting money in the meter…. vote Re…….”

I am unable to find data to refute this but it is being widely reported that more people watched 2nd vs 6th in the Premiership last night on TV than watched the so called Worlds biggest sporting event the Super Bowl .

I’m not exactly sure who Bad Bunny is (says more about me than him) but if Trump doesn’t like him he’s now top of my Christmas card list.

Loving the commentary on the Big Air final. "Oh wow what an incredible {insert a big number} spinny, twisty, turny, jumpy thing}!!!

I’m sure Tanguy Nef and Franjo von Allmen could be found in a cantina on Tatooine

You know when you are at a wake in the north-east. Ham and pease pudding sandwiches @gargarin.bsky.social

Infantile humour, apologies

Sadly my current BMI means I am adapted to cold weather but not chocolate pudding and cream

sometimes at the Olympics in the past we have had athletes who applied for asylum to escape authoritarian regimes back home: Welcome US athletes Europe can be your home.

And now the turbo and the rugby

When the weather’s this rubbish there’s only one thing to do; get the toys out and make pasta.

Too loud man! I like curling 🥌 but why is there sooo much shouting?

Soup! I can’t really go wrong with this lot and turkey stock.

TV critics, when reviewing the new Lord of the Flies series please do not refer to it as a social experiment. It is a piece of fantasy, fiction, it's a story. The reality is more complex. Children do not become feral with no adults the opposite could be true. www.theguardian.com/books/2020/m...

If I’d known you could do this as a child I’d might have actually liked broad beans.

A great day's volunteering at our local graveyard. My brother @gargarin.bsky.social and I built a composting area, in the freezing rain.

Homemade bread and BUTTER! Oh and 1l of buttermilk.

Who knew; my name is a dactyl followed by a spondee. Amazing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

From the Guardian; The most expensive thing Grylls (“lives in London, Wales, Switzerland”) has bought: “an ice-capable boat…. armed with an array of weaponry” Raises numbers of questions, where does he keep it? What weapons”?

Pleasure is riding your bike on a clear winter’s day, with the sun on your face and wearing a fresh on BRAND NEW PAIR OF BIB TIGHTS!!! So lovely 😂

Leave the EU they said, We will get better deals they said. EU signs a better deal with India without us oh?

Piece in the Yorkshire post; Patient outcomes are better when the doctor is "active" in research. Does similar research exist for schools (and I don't mean schools that just use research but are creating research) @alexjquigley.bsky.social @beckyfrancis.bsky.social ?

Bovino has been put out to grass, in pastures new back in California.

Going early with the #friday5

I dropped into #newsnight for some intelligent analysis on the end of democracy. Instead I got Jacob Rees Mogg, offering to wager £1m or swear on a Bible, live on TV, that he would never join ReformUK.😂

This made me laugh (more than it should have.)Our local BBC News, Look North, has been reporting all day on the Barnsley Sumo Wrestling club.I have to admire them, men taking up any new sport has to be applauded.What made me laugh was the newsreader Amy Garcia signing off with a cheery "Sign me up"

Catching up with #Lynley; why do all Oxbridge graduate detectives listen to classical music and read the classics? Why can't we have one that loves thrash metal... we want more Skindred less Scarlatti

The stars align this evening @joel120193.bsky.social here's another one.....

Most exciting TV news since Celebrity Traitors. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ja...

Cruella defecates to Reform.

' @gargarin.bsky.social here is one possible to the gravy issue and haggis. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...

Thank you for your beautiful and emotive writing (the settings prevent me from replying directly) @naomialderman.bsky.social

the Leader of ICE in Minneapolis, in a case of nominative determinism, Greg Bovino, should be stepped down from active service. His grasp of events is so far away from the truth that his judgement must be under review. He cannot be trusted to make sound judgements any more IMO.

Sometimes I can imagine all that keeps some people going is imagining the trial of Noem and Bondi at some time in the future.

For comic lovers of a certain vintage, this will be tempting, very tempting. 50th anniversary issue of Action Comic. The comic they couldn't ban. Back in the early 80s we had a grandma who bought us comics when we visited, without really understanding what she was buying. We kepy very very quiet.

If it were me, I would rather get a letter from Claudia than a letter from Camilla. Just saying (PS I'd rather get a letter from Nigella even more..LOL)

Is there really no constituitional method for getting rid of Trump? Some are suggesting it would only take 23 republican law makers. Are there so few good men and women in the US?

Trump doesn't even like penguins. He can't get the wrappers off.

Not much around in our local graveyard for the #BigGardenBirdwatch2026 but the snowdrops were nice and I did get a glimpse of some redwings.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Our local independent cinema is showing the 25th extended cut of the three LOTR films on consecutive evenings. Good value for money; over 11 hours of cinema for £10. I can't see the third one though so....should I even start?

I'm feeling down with the kids: I quite like this new Tinie Tempah track.

Well!!! #traitors
