A close up photograph of a European Robin perched on a lichen covered branch. He is facing slightly forward and looking to the left as viewed showing his distinctive bright orange-red breast, face, and cheeks, bordered by grey-blue on his neck. The background is a buff colour with highlights from the sun shining through the branches of the tree.

A beautiful Robin for today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme πŸͺΆ πŸ“·

With so much terrible news and conflict around, noticing the beauty of our natural world, even if for just a moment, brings me comfort and hope. πŸ™ Wishing you all the best week possible. πŸ•ŠοΈ

NEWS β€” Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

β€œEverybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.

We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.

Lots of people questioning whether the King should visit the United States. I think he definitely should; to recolonise it.

Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike The number of Pentagon employees who focus on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped from 200 people to less than 40.

If there’s no office to investigate the atrocity, does the atrocity even exist?

This counts for 60% of the marks on this paper.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Before the U.S military seemingly blew up a girls elementary school in Iran killing dozens of children, the Trump administration got rid of a civilian protection program designed to avoid just this kind of incident.

Katharine Birbalsingh blocked me on Twitter when I challenged her on original sin. She doesn’t like anyone disagreeing with her.

Just to confirm, the piece mentions Katharine Birbalsingh's views on all of us, including children, "suffering from original sin," going in a bit of detail in this podcast as to the implications for education.

A massive congratulations to my lovely @sharonkennedy.bsky.social on becoming the Team Leader at Penrith Mountain Rescue.

99% of teachers are fully invested in supporting those with SEND in any way they can, and will work hard to do so. Unfortunately, there's a tiny minority who seem to resent making any accommodations at all, if this interferes with their view of how classrooms should be.

They’re very inaccurate with their munitions….It was done by Iran.” Trump on the missile that hit the Minab primary school, killing at least 168 children and teachers.

He was wrong! An American Tomahawk killed those innocent girls and their teachers.

We weep for their loss.

This attractive bridge is a short distance from West Burton Falls - aka Cauldron Falls - so named because of the swirls seen in the plunge pools below. It was one of the spots painted by Turner on his travels in the Dales.

I’m with the authors! Why should AI companies be allowed to steal people’s work & livelihoods without permission? If normal people were to do it, they’d quite rightly be sued.

After a month of rain & ill health, I finally made it out with the camera last wk and headed to West Bay for some daytime long exposure. Cloudy, bright conditions were ideal for a clean, minimalist look. This is a 2‑min exposure, smoothing the sea & turning the wave line into a stronger leading line

She brings up something really important. All of the women in my family worked. AND I have the receipts to prove it having gone through census records back... over 100 years. Now some of my family was very middle class (in the US sense) but everyone was working at something.

Just as a point of interest - how many people reading this previously knew about the UK WWII debt that was fully paid off, with interest, 60 years later?

This morning my friend gave her little girl a 'mobile phone'.
Her little girl (later to me): I've got an app on my phone! It's really good.
Me: You have?
Little girl: Yes. I put maths in and it tells me the answer.
She shows me her phone. It is a calculator.
