Marvellous.

This montage of previous winners is actually quite good 🕺🏻😊

@politicanimal.bsky.social Jo, did you get chance to put together a simple map of your recent epic trek?

Wow 😳

The story of how we found a tree in a perfect recording location. And links to all eight episodes we have shared from there. 🌳🌊🦆

Fact 👇

Now that is neat 👌

Honestly, Joel is a source of much wisdom in the business of creativity. Always unique and thought provoking takes on things.

This is a fascinating report, and a bit of a rabbit hole. Addictive.

I started this thread on twitter back in 2017. I add to it occasionally whenever the opportunity offers itself, but want to start it again so I can add to it on here. So… Amazing how grater technology has developed. My current grater (left) and an original 80s grater, the size of a brick!

People should read whatever they like but I do think it’s a shame when someone doesn’t read novels at all. It’s like only watching documentaries and biopics.

Want to know what the first question ever asked on a pub quiz was? Well, ok, but you might read this anyway substack.com/@boundlesspl....

Harry on the money again 👍🏻

All very true. Well done @theguardian.com US.

Could genuinely watch Lee’s time lapse sketches all day 😊

Not on my bingo card this morning …

I’ve found and photographed before this little row of football seating left, for mysterious reasons, on the abandoned airfield. But somebody has moved them, and now it looks like everybody has left for the pub after a particularly bleak one-person play.

god the piece attached to this one, on one woman who successfully saved her dad's life by invoking Martha's rule, made me quite teary www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The Jaecoo takeover.

Tough times for indie labels.

Thanks Michael. Some virtual sunshine for a Bank Holiday weekend even if there is none where you are. ☀️

Nigella's magic is that when I read her I think yes i will make this. But unlike every other how to live life better piece i ever read, i actually do.

With an extended holiday weekend approaching, take some time to check out the wonderful world of Radio Lento. Good for the soul.

On this day 35 years ago, production of the Trabant car ceased. Here's a photo my brother took of a load of them in East Berlin in August 1990. #DDR #OTD

What’s the point of having clairvoyant glam rock bands if nobody bothers to heed their warnings? 😡

And that is my #GRJ26 complete. Thousand of miles on trains and transport, across a diverse swathe of Europe. A journey of discovery, and above all, great fun 👍🏻😊🚂

One of the highlights of #GRJ26 was the rather splendid crossing from mainland Italy to Sicily - where the train trundles onto the ferry. It’s a trip I’ve wanted to do for ages, and it didn’t disappoint. Even the weather was good 🚂🇮🇹👍🏻☀️

Day 6 of #GRJ26 - images of Syracuse, Sicily 👍🏻🇮🇹

Here are some images of Verona on Day 5 of #GRJ26.

On one of the classic train journeys of Europe, on Day 6 of #GRJ26. The 11 and a half hour run to Syracuse from Rome.

Day 4 of #GRJ26 - arrival at Innsbruck Hbf, the beautiful Cathedral of St. James, the futuristic funicular building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and aerial view of the city.

Cat owners: I’m making a music video with The Catenary Wires & we’re after some pics. Specifically: - you under your cat - your cat on its own (whole cat, pls: head, paws, tails etc) + the names of you & your cat If you’re up for it, pop them in the replies. We'll use as many as we can. Thanks!

#GRJ26 - en route to Verona. Managed to book this seat - I know all serious rail enthusiasts like to do it - so I thought I’d join the gang. @seatsixtyone.bsky.social

"The willingness to travel long distances by train has increased dramatically...The Berlin-Paris ICE is a great success, 80%+ occupancy. We thought 50% of passengers would travel the full 8h, but 75% do. Talking to SNCF about a 2nd Berlin-Paris train in 2028." www.berliner-zeitung.de/article/chef...

Love this - it’s what social media is for 😊👍🏻

Today, I start my Great Rail Journey 2026 #GRJ26 First leg takes me to the port of Harwich, to sail across to the Hook of Holland. Then, I’ll be snaking across Europe to Syracuse. From the south east corner of England, to the south east corner of Sicily.

🥁🥁👌

Great to see a pretty rare Wall Brown #Butterfly in the garden today. 📷🌥️🦋💚👍 #Ramsgate #spring #wildlife

I’m not one for craving possessions, but a classic jukebox is something I’ve always quite fancied…

It’s publication day for ‘How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside’. It’s a book, by me. It contains some poems. You can get it in bookshops. Err, that’s it. *end of promotional post*
