Ok. Someone needs to tell her that there is no such thing as “Take your kitten to school Day”..

Good luck to all you extraordinary marathon runners today! The most brilliant experience and one of the absolute best things I ever did. Stay hydrated and soak up all the crowd support. You are brilliant and you’ve got this- there is nothing like the feeling of achievement. Bloody well done!!

I am absolutely shite at recognising when someone is flirting with me. Like, comically bad at it. My mates would mock me about it. But something happened today that made me so happy. 1/?

Slowly edging closer.. Although I have to report that Willows tail was attacked shortly after this was taken and chaos ensued!

Coyote vs. ACME This looks like a lotta fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-43...

It’s too much..😍

Ninja squirrel has literally unscrewed the lid of the squirrel-proof bird feeder to get to the nuts!

The ridiculousness continues. Same size as a pint glass. Too cute. Am achieving nothing.

Love Private Eye!

Good morning and goddamn it's a beautiful day iandunt.substack.com/p/orban-defe...

Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

Bluebell woods for anyone that doesn’t have one near them x

I’m really sorry I haven’t learnt my lines and am unable to do my job but there were difficult circumstances that made concentrating impossible..

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Welcome Rosa! ❤️

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

Good morning and Happy Nigella Day! Because all is briefly right with the world and as a special treat, it's free to read. www.ft.com/content/4819...

Back filming on #MidsomerMurders ❤️

"Magawa the "hero rat," whose work sniffing out landmines in Cambodia won him a medal for life-saving bravery, is retiring after a distinguished five-year career."

As @stephenkb.bsky.social says, I really think we oughtn't to be far off from a "turn your heating off a month early" public information campaign for this very reason.

One more week until this ridiculous cuteness joins our fam.

One of my favourite facts is that the spiky tail of a stegosaurus didn't used to have a specific name, until Gary Larson published this Far Side cartoon, at which point "thagomizer" was adopted by paleontologists.

Urgh PLEASE STOP sending me the weird AF Heartbeat A.I. thing. I didn’t give permission for my image to be used and I don’t want to see old friends brought back from the dead with angel wings. It’s creepy

We are having a new addition to our family. I blame @davidmuttering.bsky.social entirely. She joins us in a few weeks. Meet Rosa

Umm. Whose bones?

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.) This is an atrocity.

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

I’m always excited to announce that my take on that French classic, Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic, is #RecipeOfTheDay! Do make sure you have some good bread to go with it, though mashed potatoes could also be given serious consideration. www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...

Ian Huntley has died after being attacked in prison. There’s questions to ask but right now, let the media focus on his victims: 10 year old best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, and their parents and siblings who must still endure a lifetime of grief. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

No one is blaming the Conservative government who acted unlawfully under British laws And that is down to our highly partisan media landscape So keep those critical thinking skills sharp when you see headlines like this! Watch out for the red flags and ask all the right questions! 23/

“Elite human capital” Fucking hell.

Got an amaryllis bulb for Christmas. Such joy to watch it flower. Magnificent

Integration Commission Enforcement has quite the acronym.

Today marks the first day of meteorological spring 🌷 March has arrived, and with it comes longer, lighter days. Over the next few weeks most of us will enjoy around two extra hours of daylight ☀️

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

For those of you who enjoy #MidsomerMurders and need something to cheer you up. We start the new series (26) on Monday..

Deaths in channel are preventable, but require governments to focus on ensuring people can seek asylum. It's repeatedly shown that hostile measures increase death tolls. Labour's decision to halt family reunification alone is already putting more children at risk. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Tehran is a city of nine million people, with 17 million in the larger metropolitan area. Saturday is the first day of the week for Iranians. Millions of people are at work, and children are in school.

Mothering Sunday on March 15th. It's hard if she's not around. I'll be reading out the names of our remembered #Mums26 from the top of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. You can see across the sea to the Lake District. If you'd like your Mum/Mam/Mom's name added to the list, reply with hashtag! ❤️ 👑

Fantastic interview. Everyone should read it:

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

Surround yourself with the kind of people who consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.

So-called 'nudify' apps. Smart glasses that secretly record video. An explosion in sexualised deepfakes. Tech has turned against women, and it's time to regulate it properly, says author and gender equality campaigner Laura Bates. Read more: ft.trib.al/Z3gd5bP

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

It’s a bit snowy here in Bucharest!
