Very grateful to all those who attended today’s session. Two excellent #SocialScience talks: one on the educational trajectories of care-experienced children, and the other on the role of Warm Hubs in developing community connections in #Wales. #SocialSciences #Senedd #Cymru

As today is the #AutumnEquinox, we'd like to pitch an idea that so far the major coffee retailers (yer Costas, yer Neros, yer Starbuckses) have inexplicably refused to consider... #PumpkinSpicedBovril #Autumn #Bovril #ncafc 🧡🖤

God, I remember when these used to be a proper party of principled liberalism. Now seemingly they just roll out stunts and do what the establishment wants. #ukpolitics #ukpol #libdems #liberaldemocrats

I’d literally just typed “Back at County. Why do I do it to myself?” only for us to score in the first minute! Game on! #ncafc 🧡🖤

I feel seen.

The working week finished 24 minutes ago and I’m already crashed on the bed with #ronnie. It’s been that sort of week. #catsofmastodon #cathodofastodon

What do Newport County fans think about the club's current situation? Over on our YouTube page, @dredbridges.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy unpacks the results of our September survey, and it's an interesting watch... Many thanks to all those who took part. www.youtube.com/watc... #ncafc 🧡🖤

Many shocking things about the last 24 hours; but the contrast between the Labour government’s response to peaceful protest against genocide, and its non-response to violent racist protest against liberal democracy, is high on the list.

We've had HUGE interest in Ep241, exploring what the loss of Dragons RFC could mean for Rodney Parade, for Newport County, for local businesses and for the city of #Newport as a whole. Here's a teaser, but to find the episode, search for "1912 Exiles" via your podcastcher of choice. #ncafc 🧡 🖤

Twters, please sense-check something for me. I'd literally never heard of Charlie Kirk until last night, and yet his death is top story and dominating the UK news media everywhere I look. I get that it's a big story in America, and that it may come to have ramifications, but I don't get why […]

Behold my beautiful garden this morning! 🌸 #bloomscrolling #ynyrardd

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Still fuming after that Newport County game yesterday. Not sure what was the bigger mess: our lack of defensive resilience or the wiring in the Hazells Stand concourse… It was so bad that I’ve cancelled our planned weekend trip Chesterfield later this month […] [Original post on toot.wales]

A quick run in #butepark #parcbute to cheer me up after that god-awful Newport County performance. It’s beginning to feel a lot like #autumn #Hydref. #cardiff #caerdydd #running #rhedeg

So Rayner is standing down over inadvertently underpaying stamp duty, but Farage will no doubt emerge totally unscathed for deliberately avoiding legitimate tax on his earnings. The UK in 2025 is wild. #ukpolitics #ukpol

Why has “obligated” (which isn’t a word) replaced the perfectly serviceable “obliged” over recent years? It’s longer and far less elegant. #obligatedisntaword #words #language

All three top stories on the BBC News app are about migration. The top story on #R4Today just now was also about migration. Is this (as the #R4Today presenter has just claimed) the media reflecting the public’s interest, or is it in fact the public parroting back […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Out #groundhopping today, albeit at my semi-regular haunt of #WimborneTown for the A35 El Classico against Weymouth. Sun’s out, and a (relatively) huge bank holiday crowd expected. Meanwhile, spectacular #NonLeague scenes - a wheelie bin in the home terrace that […] [Original post on toot.wales]

When I used to travel to Belfast a lot for work, I found it incredibly depressing how both communities would plaster “their” estates with flags and painted kerbstones, like a dog pissing to mark its territory. Travelling to/through southwest England today, I’m alarmed to see that the picture […]

Ronnie is steadfastly refusing to get involved with the game. #caturday #catsofmastodon #cathodofastodon #ronnie #bigfatcat

Very proud of my youngest today for doing his first grownup ParkRun - definitely quick enough to have earned a Gregg’s sausage bap afterwards!

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed more than 300 footballers. Its deliberate obliteration of civil infrastructure and cultural identity has destroyed every stadium and training pitch. A yet Fifa and Uefa take no action. youtu.be/cfjDXFif8Yw A powerful film from @thepitchinspection.bsky.social

If a tax rise on gambling on your sport would genuinely "threaten [its] very future", then it may be that you don't have a sport, but an activity whose primary purpose is to provide gambling opportunities. www.bbc.com/sport/horse-...

“When will it stop?” wonders the BBC. Maybe when you stop platforming grifting arsewipes like Farage, giving credibility to racist policies and making the seeking of asylum of 30k people in a population of 60 million the biggest issue of the day?

Ensuring that #ncafc 🧡🖤 are represented at #beautifuldays today in the sunshine. Mercifully not much mobile reception so we can hopefully live in ignorance of the incoming defeat to Grimsby…

What did you make of that Millwall game then, Exiles? Here's our sub-5min review of the game - as always, we'd love you know whether you agree or disagree with our assessment of things. youtu.be/oNl7uDha8RE #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Millwall 🔵

Back at the football and all is well with the world. I mean, County are losing, but that’s par for the course, and they’ve given it a good go. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #millwall 🔵

In our latest pod (Ep236), our correspondent Ashley waxed lyrical about how well County played through Crawley’s defensive lines on Saturday – and the contrast it heralded from last season’s approach… FULL EPISODE 🌳 linktr.ee/1912exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

If you live in #cardiff #caerdydd and are wondering why there aren’t any flies this year, it’s because they’re seemingly all in my house. You’re welcome.

Lots to do this evening, and I can’t do any of it because this berk has chosen to sit on me. #caturday #catsofmastodon #cathodofastodon #ronnie

I struggle to think of a better example of the police acting CONTRARY to the public interest. Meanwhile, good luck getting the Peelers to help if you get your bike nicked. “More than 50 arrests at Palestine Action ban protest” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8de6rq37v5o #ukpolitics #ukpol

Lovely evening, chilling with Ronnie and his big floofy belly. #catsofmastodon #cathodofastodon

Bus strikes in #caerdydd #cardiff later this month will result in services being completely unreliable. Fortunately, that will be completely indistinguishable from normal. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c77683p6vkjo

Final early morning run/swim of the holiday. Ended up swimming in the middle of a huge shoal of whitebait, who I think might’ve been giving me evils for eating so many of their brethren last night… 🏃🏻 🏊🏻‍♂️ 🐟

Noswaith dda i chi gyd, as I settle down for my first pastis of the evening.
