Also 🌴 WI on the board 🌴🏏 #ShepsDayOut #T20WorldCup

Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this. It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

📲 Our partners @itstradenation are subsidising tickets to give our supporters the chance to save £5 on adult tickets in the Trade Nation Stand for our double header against Hampshire Hawks in May! A repeat of last year's final 😎 #YouAreSomerset

Yesterday was dog sitting, a 10K ski with said dog, and then an afternoon by the wood stove re-reading these in reverse order of publication, working my way back through a professional life. Pencil and notebook required. #poetry #booksky

Lizzy got in the wrong way, again.

🎬 Cricket stops punching loophole

idk, I feel like everyone should be praising how not annoying about the Seahawks being in the Super Bowl I've been, just a notion

Nikola Vučević checks in, first time as a member of the Celtics:

you're doomscrolling I'm plumposting we are not the same

I rewrote this one four times trying to get the tone right for what I wanted to say. I'm not sure I did, but I think I got close. It's very likely the only thing you'll read about the T20 World Cup that features CCR, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, and an ouroboros.

Joe Mazzulla on Vučević’s role: “We haven’t decided yet. Obviously, we’re happy to have him. Any chance you get a new player with his experience, his humility, and his talent it’s our job to make sure we make him comfortable. It’s his job to make sure he fits in, and we work on that together.”

Jack off all trades.

Sorry to get all LinkedIn about it, but this week my dad said I had “developed some good DIY skills” and honestly it was one of the proudest moments of my life

Wish I was there! 🤷🏻‍♀️

The world is announcing it’s spring and I think I’m having some emotions. sillylittlewalk.substack.com/p/i-go-on-a-...

Last bit of self promotion…every day within 1-1.5 hours of the race finish we will have a podcast up to break down the race in detail and any news that we’ve heard. May even have a few interviews scattered in but no promises! #biathlon

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Big news - the National Gallery of Art today announced the acquisition of "Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy," a c. 1625 painting by Artemisia Gentileschi! The work will be on view beginning late February in Gallery 29 on the main floor of the West Building. Read the full press release - lnkd.in/gZXtwMdr

I believe a group of academics is known as a 'quarrel'

Always great to see so many browsers out and about in Grasmere this time of the year.

Most people won't know this, but our collection also includes lots of delicious salami.

But the key aspect is this... Non-host counties have little to sell in Aug. Sussex complaining about 4 home one-day games And, of course, ECB solution does nothing to promote county cricket in general. In contrast, franchise owners will push hard for returns. IMO will expand

Getting very messy, very quickly at Sussex. Also Cricketer reported Middx may demutualise to get them out of their current problems. And there was me thinking county cricket was being saved

This could be why Bitcoin is crashing. People are switching back to high yield tulips.

I'm not that experienced at cheering for sports so I'm just yelling "be better at rugby!" at Ireland

I had no idea Liz Truss was so famous in Norway.

hey do me a favor and fave this quoted post, don’t worry about why. it’s fine

'If then, there be such a thing as a Liberal Socialism....it must clearly fulfill two conditions. In the first place, it must be democratic. It must come from below, not from above....[Secondly it] must give the average man free play in the person life for which he really cares' (L.T. Hobhouse) 🔶️

Amazing behind the scenes deets as the Grade Cricketer's Sam and Ian interview some of the Azzurri pre- #T20WorldCup. youtu.be/z82xGbeYfqg?...

Hell yeah Jessie Diggins

Goodnight from Adam Whitelock, his blood percussive riot after hearing Harrowhound growling behind him on Brimsdown Lane. Goodnight from Abigail and Daniel Coleford, snuggling in bed against frost-carrying cold and shivering fear of the Wicker King’s knock. Goodnight from Hookland.

Our language becomes fluid, blurred. Gateway. Threshold. Portal. All these things imprecise and yet signalling what we feel as a truth: beyond this opening is the strange. Whether we go through becomes a litmus test. Do we want that possibility of encountering the uncanny? – Dr. M. Benn

If you've not yet got this one, then you've got less than 24 hours now to settle on your best guess or do further deep, comprehensive research. Just think of the bragging rights and kudos if you get it right...

The horse is placed so centrally in folklore because our relationship to it has always been a defining cultural feature. Its ghosts are many. They pull spectral corpse carts, are steeds in phantom battles. A network of invisible clip-clopping down a thousand lanes. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreThursday

A record to be proud of 🔢 #Siddle2026 | #RootedInRebellion

Reminded me of the DF "run reaper"

well past closing time last night, walking past this hairdressers, their windows fogged up after a day of talking, the hanging lights looking like a New York night rather than a north Essex housing estate. The umbrella handle the only solid shape, and evidence of a last remaining customer.
