My 12 panels did that!

....okay, some of the rest of you may have been bit-part players..

'seep'

True. Couldn't even enjoy our 4th.... was still so sucker-punched and waiting for a VAR challenge. Relief just starting to seem in.

He's had some fine runs out for Villa recently. Everyone has a duff game now and then, so I hope he isn't pilloried.

.... that said, he needs to buy Emi and Tammy a pint tonight

The "I just thought I'd be rather good at it" motivational intensity of someone who life had cushioned in velvet

Read the Foundation & Empire series when I was about 16 - and this insight has resonated with me frequently down the years. Nice to see it presented so concisely again.

White House polling advisor: "Voters are cooling on you, Sir.... "

Just walked down a country lane in Derbyshire appreciating this view. It is an uplifting beauty.

"many older online radicals are motivated by a sense of isolation and redundancy"
... so comfortable to stay inside the home and be 'entertained by social media feeds and GBN 'shock' stories that confirm a view that society is going to the dogs... and then post their own un-self-regulated prejudice

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right It starts with a ‘back in my day’ nostalgic meme – then suddenly your elders are sharing AI-generated ‘boomerslop’ and repeating conspiracy theories …

Fascinating.

I was similarly incensed yesterday, that the fastest economic growth in Feb for two years was relegated well down the webpage in favour of this - which only serves to inflame views on immigrants, & provoke doubt on genuine claims of domestic abuse. ‘BBC Investigation’ does not justify a lead story.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

‘The Day After Tomorrow’ scenario looking more likely…

Regressing to childhood. That is not the prose of an adult.

Those pharmaceutical facilities that .... won't be producing any vaccines, doing mRNA research, or selling cancer medicines to drop-off delivery women who don't get many tips... ?

Oh, I get that. I see the deep frustration with all that allows Trump to show off. It's a family debt of gratitude for 250 yrs of the US. My dad was in N Africa for 4 yrs in WWII. If not for US forces landing in Algeria & pushing east, he may not have lived to marry mum in March 1945 & father 3 sons

Yes. Post 14 days ago: Should the King visit the US for the 250th? I think, yes. It's recognising what ordinary Americans have built over 250 years; what the regular Joe and Joan have created; their contribution to the world & their sacrifices in WW1 & 2. And their current President isn't part of it

This👇. Well done, Brazil. 👏👏👏

You know how water spirals down a plughole… getting faster and faster as the spin narrows, tightens & intensifies. That.

Leeds very impressive. And did Villa a favour. Gratitude.

More diplomacy from that lady than Pakistan managed to get from JD & the gang at the weekend

World’s largest offshore wind farm is getting plugged in Hornsea 3 – a vast, offshore, wind farm project – has reached Norfolk, as renewables cut costs and reduce reliance on gas

🌊⚡️ Big milestone for UK renewables:

The world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 3, has officially made landfall in Norfolk.

Once complete, it’ll generate enough clean electricity to power 3.3 million homes. A huge step toward cutting costs and reducing reliance on gas 🏘️💡

Front cover of the final GCSE WideWorld magazine

My final 'Geography Online' article on using GoogleEarth to monitor changing physical environments

Sorry to see this go. Remember the first GCSE WideWorld coming into school in 1981. This April edition is the final one. Hachette are stopping publishing. Wrote my first article in 1983, and contributed regularly since the 1990s. Hoping it helped many geography students - & their teachers #geography

It is. But is it also the case that a people have to live under right wing crapulism for a period before they get fed up with its 'deficiencies' to have the pendulum swing back more centrally?

He hasn’t thought this through has he…. which US navy captain is going to fire on a Chinese ship going through the Strait?

Guess it’s programmed in: empathy being the death of western civilisation, and all that….

Guessing there are as many British tourists stranded in (…checks notes) - Corsica, as journalists who wrote that front page story

Do you mean Bologna don’t deal with it… ?
