73% of the world's wildlife has been lost in the past 50 years.

The biodiversity crisis is just one topic covered in Earth Photo 2025, a thought-provoking photography exhibition now on at Anglesey Abbey until 23 Nov 2025.

This globe sizzled and flickered like it was on fire--a symbol of a planet in turmoil. By Mona Hatoum, from the exhibition Mona Hatoum x Giocometti at the Barbican.

The common good is a set of shared commitments.

To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth.

We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.

Enjoyed Mona Hatoum x Giacometti at the #Barbican . . . an exhibition reminding us about conflict and oppression around the world.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Let's keep the UK-India trade deal in perspective.

Its anticipated annual £4.8 billion boost to the UK economy is dwarfed by the £100 billion Brexit costs it every year.

UK govt needs to be faster and bolder in rebuilding our economic relationship with the EU.

Hi @paspuggie48.bsky.social ! A couple of years ago, my husband discovered Power Query, which appeared to be carefully hidden away. He says that he found a better way of doing things in Excel--and a world of joy!

This drama has a nice ecological aspect.
Enjoyed thinking about sea turtles and their epic journeys along with the two main characters.

I always get more done listening to Mindful Mix, a thoughtful selection of beautiful music on BBC Radio 3. 🎵

Was struck by the gravity and beauty of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s ‘They Being Dead Yet Speaketh’.

An artist’s response to the planned siting of nuclear cruise missiles in the UK in 1980.

Just one way of looking at The Hay Wain by Constable.

‘Art That Conquered the World’ on BBC Sounds explores how this popular painting has been viewed over its 200-year history.
