My brother spent a few hours last night, helping a chick out of it's egg as it had got stuck. It's hopping around chirping away now.

UK Journos 'make your only response to the M&S worker getting harassed, filmed & doxxed by the online transphobe network a discussion about banning filming shop staff or indeed anyone without permission because it's serious harassment' challenge

This. So much this.

Hampstead Heath has 3 swimming ponds, it also has a lido. This isn’t one of them. This is a pond explicitly marked as ‘no swimming’, it’s full of wildlife including nesting birds. It’s meant to be a quiet space for the inhabitants to thrive. Instead, they have to endure these selfish c***s 🤬

Seriously people. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Good God! I have only just got into Dept S. I did not realise that Peter Wyngarde was in Flash Gordon. The voice for god's sake!

"Day 103, orbit 1598 — Etna caught me by surprise one morning as I opened the shutters. The whiteness of its slopes… and that elegant plume of smoke (...) Less than 1 min later, and we’re flying over Vesuvius", says esa.int astronaut Sophie Adenot. 📸 ESA/NASA – S. Adenot

I am aware racing pigeons are different. My brother has looked after lost abandoned ones. I'm talking feral urban pigeons.

I like pigeons, but the 'feral pigeons were abandoned and are completely helpless' ai generated memes are winding me up no end.

Not content with super Moons we now have micro Moons.

I have observed the Moon. You can too. It’s right there! Looking pretty good. Doesn’t have to be a special day for Moongazing. Well done, Moon.

Was it perhaps ball lighting I saw. 🤔

Just saw something a bit odd. Was coming back from somewhere, there was lightning in distance. Saw an orange light moving in front of the storm clouds. There was a lightning flash and it faded out. No, I don't think it's aliens. 🛸

not a big fan of that green blast:

From Facebook. Comments are people liking both. As do I.

I've just looked at the wedding photos and I look like a big fat sweaty blob. I do not look my best at all. 😱

I save photographs depicting traumatic experiences in my life because I think it’s important to remember the bad times, as well as the good. This one is from the occasion when some sheep I’d put my trust in threw me off a cliff for kicks then cut the rope as I tearfully begged for their assistance.

It's like when I go to a match. Cheaper to watch on the telly, but going there in person is a whole different level. Surrounded by so many people, feeling joy, horror, relief, disappointment. Doing it together makes it an unforgettable experience

My brother and his husband's dogs, Odin and Tiberius. (That's the names of the dogs).

Rochester, I was here at the weekend. The registry office where my brother got married was formally a library where I used to work. Here's Rochester Castle and some nice old buildings.
