What an interesting life. Met Elvis, Ali, Keith Moon. Also, he's met my Dad.

The view is looking along to the bow of the ship. To the right are burning oil storage tankers with red flames and black smoke billowing into the air. To the left, a small boat is on fire while a different, firefighting boat is in the foreground spraying water out of multiple on-board hoses. To the left, other buildings on the port shoreline are on fire. It is a scene of chaos

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Cover of Gisele Pelicot's book A Hymn to Life

On #IWD2026, it feels fitting to sing the praises of this extraordinary book, read beautifully by Emma Thompson.

If you’ve yet to read it, please do. Gisèle Pelicot’s strength, courage & basic human decency ring out from its pages - as does the grotesque misogyny of her courtroom experience...

Pure, simple happiness in its most joyful form 😊

Miner With A Dog, 1968, painting by Josef Herman (1911-2000), Polish refugee who lived at Ystradgynlais in Wales's Swansea Valley (y Gaer Gallery).

That you Daz?

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

Do we still trust/believe US intelligence?

Just seen a Twitter screen grab of someone referring to Andrew Tate's 'desert trek' into Dubai as 'Lawrence of dry labia'

Apparently we posted this on this day in 2019, and I have managed to completely erase it from my brain until now.

“The Breadhouse in Chalfont St Peter” is absolutely the filthiest sexy slang.

Did it's job 😁

Must be a mistake, I was alive then 🫣

Morning matey.

Just done the 'ate too much hotel buffet breakfast' thing. Disappointed there was no cheese though.

Was it tempting to add a dash of arsenic?

Austria, Romania and the UK are the latest nations to say they will boycott Friday's opening ceremony of the @Paralympics in Verona.
