In all the coverage of Trump’s tirades about Europeans it should be noted that they are dealing with a much longer, harder, bigger and more consequential war in their own backyard, in Ukraine – a war that they didn’t choose, and one that Trump’s war on Iran has made worse by enriching Russia.

What a gorgeous spring day - and a visit from a duck no less!

And it’s 1, 2, 3
What is Trump fighting for?
Don’t ask him, he don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.

I’m 58, been going to the opera since I was 16.

Chalamet - I don’t just care about it. I love it.

Ten books that changed the world - Magdalen College Former Librarian Daryl Green explores the impact of ten science and technology first editions in our collection.

City last did the league double over Liverpool in 1936/37.

Art work included in the vinyl of the album The Bird of a Thousand Voices, beautiful mythological Arc with intricate stylised trees and animals.

Complex, driving and infectious rhythms and themes.
Pure dopamine pleasure.
If you want a treasure to feel smug about that none of your friends know, then this is it. #TigranHamasyan

It is with great sadness that my last mince pie of the season turned out to be gluten free.
An accident I hope not to repeat next year.
#MincePie
On a happy note, the remaining pies have gone to a good home.

Okonomiyaki and a Super Dry for me please.

They played their own intermission music whilst folk went for a pint!

Being in the mosh pit was fun, not so much being a constant conveyor belt for crowd surfers! I still have boot marks on my forehead.
Gaia, Crumbling Castle, Dragon combo was immense!

Just wondering if this is the first time a mosh pit has done ‘the rowing boat’ at #RoyalAlbertHall

Painted fence saying ‘wet paint’. Paint had dried but it’s now raining on the fence. The sign becomes correct for a second time.

View from above. The sign was true (it was raining).
