What an incredible film @projecthailmary.bsky.social is!! Incredible. Visually stunning. #RyanGosling #ProjectHailMary

A unique experience for us tonight. Finally seeing a live launch of a rocket going to the Moon. Not landing on the Moon I know, but still...what a moment! Inspirational. #ArtemisII #Nasa

That’s one hell of a cover…..

If the US war on Iran ends up with the Iranian regime still in power and Iran able to charge tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, it will be the quickest and most comprehensive defeat that the US has ever suffered—and alarms bells should start ringing loudly about the future of US power.

Get someone who looks at you the way I look at Barnes Wallis' marbles! (the ones owned by his daughter which he used to refine the 'bouncing bomb' for Op CHASTISE). Pop over to Denhams auction house (Horsham) on Wed 25th March to bid on the amazing Sir Barnes Wallis Collection!

Interesting Hegesth's press conference and how he frames military power. "Iran has no functioning air force, air defence or Navy." Afghanistan didnt have these neither did Hamas. Be careful how you define military success. Air power can do so much #Iran #MiddleEast

Happy Friday guys! We made it...feels this week has been a little longer than the last few.

History lesson. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

Hmmm...wonder what caused the Iranian Naval vessel to sink? Man-made object perhaps?

Brazilian mathematician Marília Chaves Peixoto was born 106 years ago today. She was the first Brazilian woman to earn a PhD in math, the 1st to be inducted into the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and was, during her short life, an important researcher on structural stability. #WomenInSTEM #MathSky

Made second batch of Grenola last yesterday. Left it "lid-off" overnight. Will take a look later and report back...

Interesting hobbyist @reformexposed.bsky.social

Take nothing away from that Italian performance score flattered France. 10 minutes left in the 2nd half & they were pretty close. Lynagh's yellow card for a supposed deliberate knock-on I thought was harsh!! #FRAvITA #6Nations

Very interesting article. Interesting how atrocities committed by the Nazis during WW2 are both commemorated and incorporated into national memory. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This really is a great picture:

Holocaust Memorial Day. Never EVER forget what happened. #Holocaust #Nazis #Fascism

"The most striking thing to me is that the the officer pushes a woman onto the ground and the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up when they tackle him and then shoot him. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America." It will only get worse.

What a film Hamnet is! Quite brilliant acting from Jessie Buckley. A seminal performance. Oscar-worthy. Wonderful music from Max Richter too. #Hamnet

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Beautifully put! #Davos2026 #Greenland

Interesting. Allies very much on the front foot by this point in the War. Did they have access to white camouflage fatigues? Genuinely interested #WeHaveWays #WarWaffle

@normagraham.bsky.social loving Carney's Davos speech: "Middle Powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu". #Davos2026

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Long weekend in the Lake District. Perfect.

An old uni friend sent me this today. Will read it later. Should be interesting. #Reform @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I wonder if that age-old football adages that you apply to an imperilled football manager, "gone before Christmas" "he is in borrowed time" can be applied to Sir Keir Starmer? And I like the guy! Just seems a momentum shift this week.

Beautifully put!

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️
