103 days into the "ceasefire." Hours after Netanyahu joined Trump's "Board of Peace." Israeli forces just killed 3 more journalists. They were on assignment to film a camp in Gaza, to document the plight of Palestinians displaced by Israeli bombs. Instead, Israel killed them.

I have an update on Greenland.

we only need just over 15,000 signatures to get over 100,000. Keep this going.

Not just the view from Denmark. The view from anywhere in the universe where logic works.

Take a look at The Telegraph's view on Trump. Every single 'columnist' (I use the term loosely) utterly wrong and totally disproven. Never read again.

America isn't recognisable now that's for sure #Trumpspeech

Make no mistake, the criminals who run these corporations are fully aware that they are destroying our world, and bequeathing a savage future to our children and theirs But they just don't care. Money means more to them They need to be locked up www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump shifting focus to invasion of Italy after Domino’s Pizza order takes 35 minutes to arrive.

I have a plan for this. It basically includes pulling all these commentators into a studio with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social, @maitlis.bsky.social and/or @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and made to answer some pointed questions about where, exactly, that certainty came from. Who else wants in?

Macron didn't concede anything in private messages to Trump, but the US Right is so high on delusional hubris that even basics of diplomatic back channels are useless as means to achieve stable outcomes. How do you de-escalate with a US government that is obsessed with performative escalation?

I don't think so 😅 We call this place the £100 Shop and it never disappoints. But it does have great bread. Only six quid a loaf 😐 #Tarporley #plastictrees

Trump appears to have leaked a private text message from Emmanuel Macron. Why would any leader ever trust someone who leaks their private conversations?

Meanwhile in Greenland: (By Chris Maris @SputnikRat on X)

Research in Antiquity last year explored how tin from Britain shaped the European and Mediterranean Bronze Age. Now, excavations at St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall have found evidence for tin trading ports. The authors write about it in the latest #AntiquityBlog 🔗 www.cambridge.org/core/blog/20...

Carbon-free in the sense that it costs nothing to dump carbon into the atmosphere.

The powerful portrait of a male deity from a floor excavated by Tessa Verney Wheeler at VERVLAMIVM (St Albans) in 1931 now in Verulamium Museum The inclusion of red lobster claws makes it likely this is Oceanus 🦞 We love the use of single rounded tesserae for his pupils 😍 📷 Jan 2026 #MosaicMonday

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Is Robert Jenrick the most high profile political defector to inspire a scene in a Booker prize winner? And it even involves corruption David Szalay’s Flesh - which, no pun intended, left me cold - has a scene clearly based on this www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/jenrick...

The magnificent Grade 1 listed Parish Church of St Giles in Wrexham seems stranded out of its time, with only faint hints of the original medieval town, but it has a vibrant voice of its own with fabulous features and makes for a terrific visit. Information and photos on the blog: wp.me/pcZwQK-8hW

When feeling fed up about how insanely expensive rural property has become in the last few years it’s always good to remember that it was only a little over a century ago that Stonehenge, plus its accompanying 6400 acres, sold for £6,600 to a private buyer via an advert in Country Life Magazine.

In 1768 the previous #carnyx to be found in England was pulled out of the river Witham near Tattershall. Lacking the zoomorphic head, it was interpreted as a Roman lituus. Unfortunately, it fell victim to early experiments in archaeological science at the hands of Joseph Banks and George Pearson...

Visited the @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social to see the Rose Ferraby exhibition, which was lovely. And included my favourite Henry Moore lithographs of Stonehenge. What a bonus!

Hopefully you all know how I love the mixture of archaeology and art. Today I visited the @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social & saw the spellbinding collection of Rose Ferraby work. Of so many things precious to me - landscapes, sites, artefacts. One week left - go and see it! #archaeology #art #wiltshire

President Trump is placing simultaneous pressure on the five pillars that stabilize modern democracies: the Federal Reserve, the courts, U.S. alliances, law enforcement legitimacy, and public trust, creating systemic risk. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-presid...

I don't think I've seen quite such a high density of utter hokum and big-words pseudoscience in one piece for quite a long time.

#FrescoFriday brings us back to the #BritishMuseum, where a wall #fresco from #Pompeii shows us a tiny framed scene of #Odysseus and the Sirens, from 50-79 CE. Though I love the Sirens and the ship with the hero tied to the mast, my favourite detail is the tiny skeletons. #AncientBluesky 🏺

For ##FindsFriday some of the #Roman lead bullets / slingshot found close to VERVLAMIUM (St Albans) which @theduncanmackay.bsky.social thinks may be residue from Boudicca's final battle in AD 61 We think he's absolutely right 📷 Jan 2026 #VerulamiumMuseum #BoudicaFriday

Since the internet is mainly for cats OBVS (after archaeology), got to say David Baddiel's new 'Cat Man' series is incredibly sweet and an essential watch 😸 One to catch up with on #Caturday

Planted up a big pot with some tulip bulbs I'd forgotten about. Did Monty Don's thing of laying thorny cuttings over the top to deter squirrels. Then wire and a grill rack just to make sure* (we have very naughty squirrels). If they get through that they deserve them 😅 *cue Mission Impossible music
