This is appalling.

This is appalling. Thank you for sharing this, and yes, I've sent in my complaint to the BBC. I can't even.

just the sweetest little pangolin you ever saw

fun fact: no pangolin has ever done a single thing wrong in the entire history of the world

Four crows and a squirrel in frame around the ‘pretend well’ at the park today.

There was a serious murder this morning at St Anne’s Wells Gardens this morning. And several squirrels witnessed.

Green fields and rolling hills with an occasional academic building squeaking into the view.

It’s just absolutely awful to have to work up at Falmer in the South Downs.

Overheard on the train just now: Dude bro 1: “My mate’s going on an epic road-trip across America this summer.” Dude bro 2: “Really? With all that’s going on over there?” Dude bro 1: “I know mate! Mad innit?”

It was an absolutely FABULOUS read! Thank you for sharing it with us.

One of the best things about one's partner joining one of those 'shared working space places' (what are they offically called?) is that they leave early to 'go to work' and you suddenly get two extra cups of coffee that you're not used to having. Yay! #coffee

It's International Transgender Day of Visibility. I was lucky to find this great set of ways for cis allies to support their trans brothers and sisters. Thank you Robin! 🏳️‍⚧️ #TDOV

Little poppet doll perched on a fence post.

Lovely morning walk today. Sunny, but rather chilly, which is quite lovely when you think about it. Found a lost soul though.

Oof. #UKHE

Photo of the Central Parade building on Wembley High street. Hints of neo-classical architecture with a bit of modern window vomit ruining the whole thing

I’m in Wembley waiting for my train back down to Brighton. Directly across from Wembley Central, is the Central Parade building. Shame about the modern windows.

Ohh... Anyone else get a bit of a shiver?

I adore niche and strangely beautiful data-viz. As one should.

A squirrel on a metal railing, facing away from the camera with a cheeky little 1/4 face and eye visible, all the more adorable due to it's ridiculously fluffy tail framing its own body.

It's not very blue today... Happy Monday? Welp... Here's a delightful squirrel.

I've been talking up Kelly's approach since hearing their talk at my uni back in the Autumn. It's a fabulous way to approach AI in writing.

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

FFS. <sob>

I'm a bit confounded by your amazment. Of COURSE the BBC grilled Polanski. We're 'surprised' that MSM is anti-progressive?

It's AMAZING how the rhetoric almost types itself at the British newspapers.... SUCK IT BRIT-MEDIA!

You what now? Lurching to the right ISN’T good for Labour?

Is this even satire?
