This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

"The chances that Dua Lipa would help raise funds for a vehicle for our unit weren’t high... but they were never zero!"

His incompetence and yes, unwarranted arrogance on display for the whole world to see. He's his own worst enemy. Diplomacy is dead if you keep posting threats before and during negotiations. And not one of his minion is willing to stop him. 🙄

The bronze crosier, which was made in the 11th century, and its silver-gilt case, or coigreach, which was made later.

The hereditary custodian of the crosier-head and coigreach of St Fillan appeared at an inquest #OTD in 1428. He was confirmed in his special rights of pursuing anywhere in Scotland goods or cattle stolen from anyone in the parish of Killin/Glendochart. 📸NMS

People who flunked basic biology can't even imagine advanced biology.

The amount of unvaccinated children my daughters age is frightening. All of these moms think they’re smarter than thousands of doctors over hundreds of years. It’s sickening, it’s selfish and I am judging you as hard as I can.

Blue river, gorse and distant hills.

Very colourful and lovely here at the moment.

Badenoch has over egged Mandelson.
She's scored some hits but the obsession, to the exclusion of other issues, is beyond tiresome and means sod all to the passengers on the Arriva 5 travelling into Middlesbrough.

A local tattoo artist posted a video on Instagram of him asking two blokes in hi-vis not to put up an England flag on the lamp post outside his shop. Consequence: a flood of bad Google reviews including the predictable “paedo” allegations (“he touched my daughter” etc). Truly the shittiest people.

'It's so chaotic': Humpback whales are forming super-groups On a misty morning in December, two photographers captured the images of 304 individual humpbacks – the highest number of large whales ever identified in a single day.

"The whales burp and fart all the time – on a ginormous scale. The smell is pungent. It's very fishy."

Throwing handfuls of magnetic letters at a refrigerator door will create something of equal sense.

The sight of salivating hacks waiting to pile into Labour for the likely Trump created inflation figure is not pretty.
The same hacks were mute when good unemployment and wage data were published.

An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.

'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'

You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Ahhhh - the sound of Skylarks (Alauda arvensis) and a munching Donkey.

I wonder what Trump is going to do when his pal Putin is thrown from power? It's not looking good for Putin. The spring assault has failed, attrition exceeds recruitment, and UKR is ruining the RU economy.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia
