I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Amen to that.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope.
THIS is good trouble!
Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Important piece by Don Kettl explaining what Team Trump is up to:
“It’s as if Trump has dumped the pieces of the world’s biggest jigsaw puzzle: Everyone is chasing around individual pieces, while only the Trump team has a sense of how all the pieces fit together.”

I'm half-way through Storyville's "Until I Fly" on BBC4 & I cannot recommend it enough: documentary following a 5-year-old Nepalese boy who's just moved to a remote village in India. No voiceover, mostly shot level with the boy's own eyeline - it's literally like walking around with him. Astonishing

My own recollection of the JFK assassination #OTD in 1963 was coming home from a funeral with my mum and hearing my Dad say: “Kennedy’s been shot.” I was only 6, but I knew he was the American president.

Okay , I’m making this VERY CLEAR. If I get anymore DICK photos or inappropriate messages , Not only will I post for all to see , but it WILL be forwarded to the POLICE. It’s called Cyberflashing and it’s a CRIMINAL OFFENCE. You will be reported and charged. Cheers

I'm happy that my video made it here as well! I've been posting mainly on Threads — which I enjoy!
Obviously I'm not a fan of X, no need to ask! But right now I post on all of the platforms I'm **currently** on.
Nice to meet you all here!

I ripped this video from Eleonora Svanberg on X (she’s not on 🦋)
She wrote:
“I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-)
Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!”

Sometimes I wonder what motivates non-coffee drinkers to get out of bed.
Probably some sort of pulley system.
