Whenever I’m taking the train south through my lovely hometown of Durham, I always make sure to sit on the left side. There’s something about the way the landscape gradually reveals the city that I adore. It’s like a breathtaking view that never fails to captivate me for the briefest time.

Hell yes Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Let me be clear: this is not normal.

White lion bar is like a street dog poo I remember in the 80s.

@lambrinigirls.bsky.social were cracking last night.

Young men and boys need to listen to more Gary Stevenson and less Andrew Tate.

He called Zelensky disrespectful....

Stay strong Zelensky

"Musk" and "Trump", both stink in British English but with a slight difference. Musk is a smelly bodily secretion while trump is a smelly bodily emission.

Everywhere that you’ve been, she’s been Jean’s been. Lovely Christmas present from my bestie @scottycash.bsky.social

We’ve been working on this for a few months now! So fantastic to see this finally launch

Thanks for the clarification, guys.

This stinks.

Watching uncanny season 2 and it’s got be wondering why it’s always Victorian ghosts we see. Why is it never Romans, Saxons Bretons or Norse? I can only recall one case of Romans from York. Any more interesting ones you can think of @dannyrobins.bsky.social?

The irony of OpenAI complaining that somebody is using their work as a means of advancement shouldn't be lost on anyone.

RIP David Lynch you legend.

It’s information like this that makes me believe that if they just hold out, Ukraine will eventually win. If the casualty ratio is 6:1 in Ukraine’s favour and Russia isn’t changing tactics then ask yourself, which party is the most desperate in this war?

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Mr Musk really does need to just sod off and mind his own business.

As we head into 2025, I'll be sharing 25 MEDICAL HISTORY OBJECTS starting with... #1) 5,000-year-old prosthetic eye made of bitumen paste with lines radiating out from iris. Worn by a 6’ tall woman (possibly a priestess), found near the city of Zabol in Iran. The eye would have been painted gold.

This time every year I have a bottle of dog to remember my grandad. He often disappeared to see a man about a dog.

Darren Harriott when he knew the answer on the last question of the wheel was brilliant.
