The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

No and no, please, guys. Just no.

Beautiful and sad. My mum was taken there by her mother in the 1950s to learn how to behave in a nice hotel.

Thank you for asking that question & greetings from Cyprus, Al !

I found my grandparents in an archive, enjoying a sports day circa 1953/4!

Military barriers across the city, but almost always with cat flaps. The numerous & well cared-for feral cats enjoy free-movement. 🐈🐈‍⬛

The Green Line: the buffer zone across the two sides on the island of Cyprus, where my mother’s family lived in the 1950s, during British colonial times, before the island was divided. Intimate geopolitics in the field.

Lots of dribbly sounds of melting snow at 1100m but I am sitting out in a shirt mending wool. Perfect Sunday in the sun.

Isn’t it fun how we ignore all manner of improbable sports then get emotionally over-invested every four years? I was watching “ski alpinisme” last night (gold for Swiss woman!) which seems to reward running straight up mountains for 1 minute in ski boots & being quick taking your skis off & on.

Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU, ITV poll finds

Why would you pig-headedly ignore the voice of the next generation? Why would you saddle them with debt, shrink the job market and limit their opportunities? It runs counter to everything politics and society should want for them. For all of us. They’re the future.

We are SO MAD that this amazing project didn’t get funded. It got to the last round and then…

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Wow.
