It’s 6 November, and you know what that means, don’t you? YES, THAT’S RIGHT. It’s the 156th anniversary of the death of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s pet wombat

Tuntematon Tulevaisuus kirja on saanut kiitosta. Kirjoitustyyliä on kuvattu helposti soljuvaksi, mutta sisältö myös haastaa lukijaa - äänikirja saanut 4.8/5 ja 4.4/5 eri palveluissa.

Ajattelin nosta osia kirjan keskusteluista tässä. 🧵jatkuu joka päivä seuraavat pari viikkoa 1/x

Happy National Cat, everyone!
Wishing all my friends in the United States a happy National Cat Day. We don't have a National Cat Day in the UK, just a National Cat. Me.

Let me tell you a tale about something similar. In the old days at Manchester Mags, all the overnighters were held together in the cage. There was an open plan room at the end of the corridor where you saw your brief. Then, you returned to the cage and waited until your case was called on.

Chaos in the Crown Court today as two unrepresented defendants with the exact same name appeared in a hearing in a large multihanded case… one over a link from prison and one in the dock from bail. No one knows how the random same-named man was linked in to us from his prison but he was NOT happy.

'The Wargame' played out how Russia could coerce the UK - and what Britain could (or could not) do about it.

That was recorded in April. Six months later, this catch-up asks whether the current UK government is acting with sufficient urgency to make people any safer.

Sweet story in these trying times
Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
