Brilliant news.

"What do I want from COP30? I want leaders who will look their children in the eye and say: We chose courage. We stopped subsidising destruction. We stood with the global majority who did not cause this crisis," writes @zackpolanski.bsky.social. Read here: https://bit.ly/47ATlWg

Chapeau to everyone at ITV Sport @itvsport.bsky.social for their brilliant coverage of the Tour de France over so many years. Ned Boulting, Gary Imlach, David Millar, Phil Liggett, Matt Rendell and all, you'll be missed. Vive le Tour 🇫🇷 #TDF2025

For over 40 years, the Tour de France has been a fixture on British terrestrial tv, bringing the spectacle and drama of the world's greatest cycling race to living rooms across the country. This year, ITV broadcast their 25th consecutive edition of Tour coverage and their last. I will miss that show

Can we reach our stretch goal before I finish writing my next update to our GoFundMe? There's just £47 left to go for the stretch goal, so if there are a few people with a tenner kicking about, please take a look! www.gofundme.com/f/save-ada-l...

It's a year since the UK rejoined Horizon - the largest research fund in the world. In the 2024 funding round, the UK rebounded to third on the table of winners of funding grants from Horizon - 50 projects in all. HURRAH! ~AA www.gov.uk/government/n...

Contrary to what Ian says, this is a powerful read that is most definitely worth your time.

Any @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social fans amongst my network? Looking forward to giving this a lot of plays.

Happy 2112 (Rush) Day everyone #rush "I see the works of gifted hands, Grace this strange and wondrous land."

I heard this too. Doh. #mastermind #bbc

Props to Effy Coffee in Nottingham. First visit yesterday. Delivering a tonne of Ethiopian coffee intensity to this Oat Flat White. Another great coffee shop (of many) in Nottingham.

Finally caught up with Emilia Perez yesterday. Such a bold, genre defying and statement making film. One of the films of 2024.

Big congrats to my colleagues at Engineers without Borders UK. We have been highly Commended for Progressive Working Practises at #eneix2024. Great to be at such a powerful and inspiring event this evening. @enei.bsky.social

Top tip for #bitly / #tinyurl users....

Good morning from The Hague. Part one of a birthday trip in The Netherlands fully underway.

Something always exciting about emerging onto the platform at #stpancras #eurostar

Whilst I'm on an Opeth-ish related theme, anyone else on here loving the new Blood Incantation album Absolute Elsewhere. It's one of the metal/prog releases of 2024. Also, big credit to put a 20 minute big, crazy, epic video together for their song, The Stargate. youtu.be/6N4rLtjPzH0?...

It's the day before the arrival of the new #Opeth album, so I'm giving the most epic Still Life album a whirl in anticipation. Also any excuse to see what happens when I search for Opeth gifs.

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it" Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kR...

Snowy days like today bring back those glorious school days when you were glued to your local radio station waiting for your school to be mentioned.

Fewer musical motifs are more iconic than this. RIP Vic Flick.

Snowy scene in Birmingham City Centre B1. At least for another hour or two. 1/10 #uksnow

Still the greatest.

Just realised have started to instinctively open this site first when a bit bored, in a queue etc. Sure am not alone. Sign of success…

Good to know some of the classics from old school Twitter continuing here, such as the #uksnow hashtag.

A lovely story.

Ace!

Thoroughly enjoyable listen, as always. Never considered that the transporter could be used as a weapon to fling bodily fluids until listening to this episode @smershpod.bsky.social .

The view from IO Earth HQ. @greasykid1.bsky.social and Dave are building rock history.

Gladiator 2. Thoroughly enjoyed. The camp quota is high. The spectacle is high. Mescal is powerful and purposeful; Denzel steels every scene he is in. Had a smile on my face the whole way through.

THIS OMG THIS The first thing that killed that other place was people liking instead of sharing.

Treat day. Chorizo hash from Boston Tea Party #harborne. Hurrah.

Flu jab day. My right arm ..... ok, slight exaggeration.
