Today is a very special day - @HistoricEngland launched a Blue Plaque to honour the Rev. Wilbert Awdry at his house on Rodborough Avenue - the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine.

We bought his original Ffarquhar Branch back to Stroud for the first time in 30 years to celebrate!

Tune in to BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning to see the TR on TV!

Jayne McCubbin visited us to ask the question "Why do so many people love Railways?" as part of the ongoing #Railway200 celebrations - and a whole host of Talyllyn volunteers were on hand to give their take.

Elon Musk lies, whether he's trying to get a storm sewer contract in Houston or start a race riot in the UK. It's just what he does.
Elon Musk refused to answer our questions about a $760M flood control project his Boring Co. wants to build in Houston. Then he posted about it on X.

➡️ FACT CHECK: Experts say his response isn’t supported by data. Here's why: https://propub.li/46lWRSe

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:
What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

BDS victory! The Scottish Parliament becomes the first in the world to endorse BDS against genocidal Israel.

BDS calls for escalated civil society pressure on all states to impose legal and targeted sanctions against apartheid Israel similar to those that helped abolish apartheid in South Africa.

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people.

If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives.

Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

Whelp. Should have known this was coming. There's no true thought I could say on the matter without being arrested in seconds.

So I only ask this: Everyone stay safe out there.
They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
