To mark the end of Long Covid Awareness month, we spoke to someone living with it and campaigning to be heard.

1️⃣ The #climate & #nature crisis isn’t a future issue. It threatens all aspects of British life now and demands urgent action.

Ten top experts briefed MPs and other influential people at the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster.

Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Net zero by 2050 ‘just ideology’: Scott Morrison The former prime minister, who signed the Coalition up to net zero by 2050, has now declared the promise bad policy, giving Opposition Leader Sussan Ley internal cover to ditch the pledge.

The thing these guys don’t get about net zero is that it’s not just a race against physics, it’s a race against other countries to win the post carbon business opportunities.

Clinging to a dying growth model means missing the emerging one

London Overground under the underground

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

Interior view of the nave at Wells Cathedral, looking east towards the famous scissor arches beneath the central tower crossing. The soaring pointed Gothic arches and ribbed vaulted ceiling are highlighted by painted decorative motifs in red and blue. In the foreground, white fabric is arranged on the floor, suggesting a temporary installation or artwork. The scissor arches, designed by William Joy in the 14th century, form an elegant structural X-shape that draws the eye towards the high altar.

✨One to lift the spirits - the magnificent nave at Wells Cathedral taken with my tilt-shift lens 📸. Hard to believe that the 'owl like' scissor arches at the end were built in the mid C14th.

Air-Borne - 99% Invisible This week, a conversation with Carl Zimmer about his new book Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe. Air-Borne is an epidemiological history of how we think about the air and its relati...

“I wouldn’t fill my water bottle from a puddle, or a pond … because I know … I have a chance of getting a waterborne disease. But I don’t apply the same scrutiny to the air I breathe. Which is a little odd because it too is chock full of life.”

Nils Olav looking calm and satisfied (he never gets in a flap) after inspecting his troops, who stand behind him (you can only see their legs but we can safely assume they all look simultaneously humbled and overjoyed to be in his presence)

Happy World Penguin Day to all penguins, but especially Nils, who didn’t let living in Edinburgh (or being a penguin) stop him from becoming The Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King’s Guard. He’s also been knighted. His official title is Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III and here he is looking regal af

This is what a digital coup looks like “We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “bro...

New York! 😳

Fifth Avenue is filled. Trump will hate this 🎉

Why is Trump so obsessed with the word "groceries"?

Yesterday
All my victims seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in RFK

Suddenly
I'm now twice the germ I used to be
There's an outbreak spreading out from me
Oh, RFK came thankfully...

Trump’s downfall begins now – his paranoia and baseless rage is his undoing This is what empires look like when they fall

“You might as well divide the numbers of apples in your kitchen by the number of bagels and use it to calculate your mortgage rate. To criticise it on political or economic grounds is too generous.”

Ha ha … southern elephant seal masquerading as an emperor penguin!
