The return of the alpacas: Radcliffe Camera Lawn has once more welcomed a herd of alpacas to alleviate stress during exam times. Staff and students were encouraged to "take a break and meet, pet and feed these peaceful animals." [image credit Alexandrine Kantor]

For All Mankind is a great show.

Well that was a pretty comprehensive win. #W6N #IreVSco

47-0 #IREvSCO at half time. Wow. Scotland being completely destroyed.

If at first you don't succeed...Try Try again #W6N #IreVSco

THE UPPER TIER IS OPEN!!! Honestly, if you're on the fence, grab the tickets. It's cheap, it's an incredible vibe and you won't regret being part of history.

Little out of date....

TV idea: Michael Portillo goes on the world's greatest train crashes.

Awww.

Not very convenient....

I did something very strange. I saw a train arriving, knew I could make it if I sprinted....and then didn't. I wasn't in a rush and ended up taking a different route. ...This is weird.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

This is why I can't think any more. A billion microfrictions before I even get anywhere near doing anything. Battling through a thicket of thorns with the short & blunted blade of my attention.

The #TinyKoalas will be at Norncon @norncon.bsky.social today! Pick one up for your lanyard and post a selfie with YOUR Tiny Koala. #AustralasianSFF #MeanjinIn2028 #BrisbaneIn2028 #Worldcon #Norncon

Morning walk around Belfast before #NornCon

Ooh So close.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

If you only ever buy the same kind of socks, odd socks become far less of a problem. And if you end up losing a sock, you’re not short a sock, you now have a spare.

I mean good advice generally... #norncon

I've got a few hours free in Belfast. What should be top of my list? #Norncon

Connolly Station used to be my regular station for school/work commutes. 30 years ago I'd exit right and go to school. 20 years ago I'd exit left and go to work. Today I'm headed to Belfast and @norncon.bsky.social later. Always loved the train service is called "The Enterprise".

Beautiful morning here in Dublin.

The final scores on Oxford City Council, combining tonight’s 24 elections with the 24 from 2024, are: 🌹 Labour 20 💚 Green 13 🔶 LibDem 9 🟪 IOA 4 ◻️ Ind 2 This gives the Greens and LibDems a chance to run the council in coalition if they choose. Here’s tonight on a map. Thanks for following along!

Thriller movie about a guy who builds a time machine and then all he does is go back 30 years to buy a house

I'm record saying that every economic bubble is terrible, but some bubbles *do* leave behind a salvageable productive residue while others leave behind nothing but ashes; indeed, this is the thesis of my next book, *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI* us.macmillan.com/books/978037... 1/

You could buy an awful lot with them. £1 - Pint £5 - Suit £10 - Calf £20 - House £50 - Politician

Your vote is precious. Today millions of people across Wales, Scotland and England are voting in the hope that their choice will improve their lives. I hope it will. Politicians are asking for your vote; it grants power and removes it. Use it and remind them never to take you for granted.

Leia is no longer a princess after 64 minutes into A New Hope. You are permanently divested of royal titles when the planet you enjoy sovereignty over explodes. She should have just been Leia at that point.

Countdown to Abingdon marathon.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

I'm just now reading about the end of @knowledgefight.bsky.social. We 100% would not have been able to get this deep into this journey of taking over InfoWars without their scrupulously deep research about the worst guy in the world Thank you, Dan and Jordan. Excited to hear what's next.

One of my favourite long time podcasts has just announced its ending abruptly. I've listened to knowledge fight for ~9 years and got to meet them at a live show. I'm gutted but wish them all the best. All hail Celine!

Absolute nightmare fuel

Leinster. Please don't Leinster this.

A few more boats than usual in Abingdon.

Happy 13th anniversary to that terrible misunderstanding at a WI meeting.

Going through the camera roll…
