I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading.

Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per.

Ugh. Just walked past Robert Jenrick being interviewed near parliament saying “The country is divided” and “Mass migration has eroded the national identity.” If that’s true Robert, what exactly are you doing to help heal these divisions? Nothing. I suggest, in fact, that you are making things worse.

#Invertober2025 Day 30: Anoplognathus pallidicollis. Pencil.

Verdict: Scarabaeoid if not Scarabaeid - nothing to improve upon, they’re brilliant. Fun to draw! I did start yesterday’s sea urchin but I felt my sanity on the verge of departing so to save everyone, I gave up.

#Invertober2025 Day 22: Clione limacina. PASTELS FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

Verdict: if Eve from WALL-E were a marine invert this is the one she would be. Also haven’t used pastels since I was at school FOR VERY GOOD REASON.

Medlars very early this year - like all the fruit - but some already bletted on the tree when they’re usually all still rock-hard in November. Best haul I’ve had yet though. Now to work out what to do with them…

#Invertober2025 Day 14: I am sitting this one out because a) it takes "too many appendages" far too far and b) IT IS NOT YET HALLOWEEN.
