Beautiful landscape today in #Liverpool after a freezing week! #Spring #EasterBreak #Blooms

As a dog person, I am thrilled to see this stellar team-research publication demonstrating that 15,000 years ago dogs & humans were already enriching each others' life. Our very own Doug Baird @livancworlds.bsky.social is one of the authors of this fantastic study! 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

everyone’s discussing how financially stupid this is and they’re right but it’s also logistically stupid. zero way to charge foreigners and not locals without a hell of a lot of racism coming out in the wash

One of the really soothing things about the ruins of castles is that they are ruins. Militarism seems everlasting sometimes, but even the strongest fortresses crumble and the only thing certain is change
