What to see and do in Perpignan? What food should not be missed in that specific part of France? I'm happy to take more general, universal French food recommendations also.

Could anyone recommend a good iOS photo filter app? In terms of colour balance, no, I don't want to make myself look like a dog...

Unsure as to whether to open this one... 🤔

Hate mail 😍 or just more spam? 😡

Any Moldovans on my timeline here?

If so, and if you'd like to help me a little bit with an Irish story relating to a figure from there, that would be amazing!

I'm not looking for much really, just some background help, the fact that I don't speak Romanian or Russian makes it tricky 🙏

The Hill is a good example of having a wildly successful YouTube channel, and slowly but steadily absolutely shredding it to the point where it's deader than the dodo.

2.1m million subscribers, 6,000 views is a video doing 'well' for them these days....

Is there any social media platform left in the year of Our Lord 2025 that is solely - or at least, primarily - photo driven?

Not quite as egregious as Spotify slipping a Belarusian post punk song into a Radio playlist of songs otherwise entirely in French last week....

But I just got Camilo Sesto 🇪🇸 on a playlist with Mexican music now 🤔

Me: Gee, I wonder how Alexander Dugin is doing today?

*Checks X* Yup.

I guess you could say that the erstwhile Transport Minister of the Russian Federation got promoted to a Special Fertiliser Operation 🫡

Latest thing the algorithm is serving me up over on Facebook: ads for real estate investment opportunities in Georgia 🇬🇪 — in Russian! 🤣

I've got a perfect solution here.

Slovakia leaves the EU, rejoins Most Glorious 'Russkiy Mir'; Ukraine takes it place here in the club with us.

Win/win/win.
“Perhaps Russia should be forgiven for everything that has happened, says Slovak foreign minister.”

I also have a suggestion - perhaps Slovak foreign minister should move to russia.

@stephenburgen.bsky.social Hey Stephen, I hope all is well with you!

I seem to remember an article, which I'm sure was in the Guardian (so quite possibly yours) from around 2019. It was about the gentrification of El Raval...

Solidarity with allies when the shit hits the fan is about as alien a concept to the Muscovites🐴 as applied thermodynamics is to a fruit fly.

It's important to get your five a day.

Even in Barcelona's hyper-gentrified Eixample Esquerra, you don't need to go to the supermarket for your fresh produce.

Old fashioned fruit and veg shops still abound.

And they're just... better.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Trump's Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth not only couldn't name Kaliningrad the other day...

He also had never even heard of the Suwałki Gap.

Russian ultra-nationalist and paramilitary fighter Igor Girkin (aka 'Strelkov') had some thoughts on the Israel-Iran situation late last night.

Girkin is currently in prison for saying Putin isn't prosecuting the war against Ukraine anywhere nearly hard enough.

Zero tolerance for all these fake 'anti-imperislist' and 'aNtiCoLiALiSt' types out there.

Frauds.

Gloves off.
