People confessing to having a lot of pleasure ahead of them, raise your hands

You need to watch it. Such a joy.

Mate, it’s genius. Just perfection

Aww they’re in such a treat. It’s brilliant!

HOW????

Why Trump Didn’t Plan for the Strait of Hormuz In wartime, the enemy always gets a vote.

Latest in @theatlantic.com . Much like Putin in 2022, Trump did not seem to realize that the enemy has a say in how a war turns out. The US seems to have started this war thinking Iran would not react effectively. I hope it does not pay the price. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Principles of Boogie Management.

I really didn’t get the Irish way of death until my gran died & we found ourselves & a one year old in the family home. Stressed & upset really unsure of being there & yet over three days it changed to a fabulous celebration of a much loved formidable matriarch & a cornerstone of a family. ❤️

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail    I would rather  eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,  blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,  listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,  than read one page of the Daily Mail.    If I was bored  in a waiting room in Perivale,  on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,  halfway through a circumnavigational sail,  I would not read the Daily Mail.    I would happily read  the autobiography of Dan Quayle,  1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,  selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.    Far better to  stand outside in a storm of hail,  scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,  be swallowed by a humpback whale,  than have to read the Daily Mail.    If I was blind   and it was the only thing in Braille,  I still would not read the Daily Mail.    Brian Bilston 

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

A week ago, but already seeing it’s built momentum for more activities like this #futures #hackathons

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 181015:
If you're feeling creatively exhausted, then fill your tank with creative things. Read books. Watch films. See plays. Listen to music. Look at art. Remind yourself what creativity means to you.

Today’s #OnlineArtExchange theme is ‘renewal’ to celebrate our very own exhibition opening tomorrow, ‘Ashes to Fashion’ 💃

Just next door to ‘Ashes to Fashion’ you’ll find ‘Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Joscelyne: The Second Marriage’ (1972) by Anthony Green.

This is a really exciting new org - looking forward to seeing what Gavin and co get up to!

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Bright yellow fungus.

Witch’s Butter, a fabulous colour.

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen
