Spent the morning making phở gà broth for tonight’s tea cos I’m off to the cinema this afternoon. The house smells ridiculously good.

Here's something most of you don't know: You all know intersex people I used to think I didn't know any too, but when (by accident or design or circumstance) you become the kind of person people feel comfortable talking to about these things, some of them will tell you. And your world gets bigger

(And probably too because of the fact that the Government obviously doesn’t want you to know these truths. Because once you know them, it is starkly clear how inadequate their response is to the threat. Pressure for strategic/nature-based adaptation will now rise. Govts may be forced to respond.)

Here is the frontispiece of the report, which was executed by the Joint Intelligence Committee using their methodology, and is backed by DEFRA research. The report was presented at COBRA, because it is a national security report.

The report warns of multiple likely ecosystem >collapses< that will have dire implications for our national security, and that requires serious strategic adaptation at minimum. The report also sets out how these collapses if they are allowed to occur will significantly increase migration.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

The next Hakuho Cup, founded by the legendary former yokozuna, will feature girls and adults as the 45-time Emperor’s Cup winner ties up with Toyota to offer an expanded tournament.

Match day 🖤🤍

No team in the Premier League is currently on a winning run longer than one game

If one rich and/or powerful person faces consequences, it raises the possibility that others might too and that just doesn’t bear thinking about. This is why Trump didn’t get put in prison.

Watch, as nothing comes of this.

Why isn’t Shishi a drunk giraffe this basho? He’s like a different rikishi.

Mono-ii all over the shop!

Carney Carnage amirite?

Social media is a safe place for so many young people currently ignored, sidelined or worse, at risk of harm from his own government’s policies and failures (ADHD, autistic, trans, disabled, the list goes on). This blunt force bullshit is more than ignorant.

And then words like “calendar”, “invoice”, “message” and in one case “while” won’t randomly green up and try to serve a link.

The latest version of MS teams has automatically reinstalled Copilot but it’s not on the installed apps list. To uninstall, you need to search for the app, right click and uninstall from there.

Belgian PM not fucking about.

These are literally the people 1) responsible for the bad laws that fail to curb social media companies 2) *still* posting on - and therefore promoting- social media sites that promote CSAM Get them out.

they really really are. I did once have this idea that one of the uniquely bad things about the Tories was how thick they were. At least we will be governed by people who aren’t thick as a whale panini, I thought.

Two things I’m enjoying so far about this AO: 1) Naomi being unashamedly herself 2) Teeny Dane Sweeny overcoming the odds

Keira’s Culkin’s delight as he learns about his English wife’s turns of phrase

Always grateful to @nicmiller.bsky.social for her heads up on incoming cookbooks. This Spring looks like a doozie for all sorts of subjects. Tough choice for me …

Today in the US is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, commemorating the legendary civil right activist and socialist who was murdered supporting a strike of sanitation workers. While lauded today, when alive he was demonised by politicians and media stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1333...

As has been pointed out to me it's very clear that, in addition to children and young people, a lot of adults aren't capable of using social media responsibly/safely, so maybe the regulations should should focus on making online spaces safer rather than removing people from unsafe spaces.

This is a weirdddd basho, that’s for sure

The Latin American on Princess Square. Just LatAm food (unheard of in Newcastle when they opened) homemade with care. They invited us to their closing party and gave us one of their pictures from the wall 😭

It's really funny to think about the Canadian Liberals, another party that was locked into a zombie government on course for annihilation who harnessed anti-Trump sentiment to resurrect their terrible party and how Labour just will just never figure it out.

British Vogue have in fact revealed the next five years; they are 2026: Cabbage 2027: Turnip 2028: Fallen leaves that taste of methane 2029: The Humble Worm 2030: ???

I’m playing both sides by doing nothing, this is grown up politics. Nothing is more serious in politics than nothing is what I always say. I stand for Nothing, Nothing is what you get. Thank you -KS

And this was excellent. Every recipe so far has been a hit.

#sumospoilers Do we think Onosato will go kyujo?

What a leaderboard after Day 8!

It unsettles me when referees have tattoos or look like they work out at the gym. You’re meant to be either a scrawny, pencil-necked bald man or a heavyset part-time PE teacher from imaginary places like ‘Tring’. David Elleray was born a 55-year-old and stayed that way. That’s the benchmark.

No finishing. None. #NUFC

<£60 for 2x3 courses + 2 drinks 🤯 Everything homemade and tasted really good. Service was lovely. How are they doing that?

Honetsuki Juju, a man with a chicken leg for a head and who carries a turtle around, is the mascot of Marugame City.

I'm planning to visit Franschoek (SA) which is famous for the wine trams. Please can you help with these questions: 1. Which two lines are the best? 2. Which wineries on those lines are good to visit? 3. Which winery restaurants on those lines would you recommend for lunch? Thank you!

Wolves fan and former Sunderland player Don Goodman on co-comms. What larks, Pip.

Caught up with yesterday and that Midorifuji battle 🤯

ICONIC #NUFC

HUGE game today. If ever there was a chance to be grabbed with every fibre of the lads’ beings, this is it #NUFC

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

A delightful 🧵

Match day 🖤🤍
