Coldplay picking the half time entertainment at the World Cup feels like the shark was finally jumped. šŸ™‡

Something I learned today in prison - if you tilt a pigeon and put it in your pocket itā€™ll go to sleep. Think thatā€™s going under ā€˜nature connectionsā€™ in the thematic analysisā€¦

An instant classic, with an all too familiar plot twist šŸ¤£

Gateshead away to Yeovil on a Friday night has got to be peak tv fixture insanity.

An important report from @thinknpc.bsky.social looks at how climate change and nature loss will impact people in prison: https://buff.ly/4g86A2p There is no national strategy to support people in prison to access green jobs and training but the positive work at these prisons offers a path forward.

The magic of the FA Cup - where only 8 fixtures are Saturday 3pm kick offs.

The flyover from Gateshead to Newcastle closing was a chance to boost public transport. Finding out they built the metro line under it and thatā€™s now shut down completely nerfs it. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Nothing says we have very little sport content now than SPOTY being on a Tuesday. Feels like the Carabao Cup draw

If FIFA hadnā€™t already lacked any shred of credibility on supposed environmental commitmentsā€¦

Just how inflated was Ashworthā€™s reputation to last less than the time spent on gardening leave? Great business by NUFC.

Teqball on Eurosport - has to have been invented by a drunken group passing a table tennis table with a football šŸ¤Æ

Itā€™s the club World Cup drawā€¦.and who even cares šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul... F1 smelling really badly right now.

First time Iā€™ve noticed the Abu Dhabi T10. It has all the tactics and interest of January indoor nets. Absolute rubbish.

Just discovered an agrics paper Iā€™m a co-author on was publishedā€¦in 2012. Iā€™d left before it was accepted and nobody said. All that wealth and fame Iā€™ve been missing out onšŸ¤£

Clarke Carlisle's point about Skibidi toilet isn't going away...šŸ˜œ

There are also a lot of tenant farmers who own nothing

Was referred to as a ā€˜journalistā€™ today - not sure if thatā€™s a promotion but itā€™s better than the time I heard I was ā€˜not a proper doctorā€™

Itā€™s going to be cold in Newcastle for @footballcollective.bsky.social conference. Fortunately being from Durham I donā€™t need to go with the too hard for a coat Geordie mantra.

Greener on the Outside for Prisons is a social prescribing programme of nature/green activities for prisoners. ā€˜GOOPā€™ (ours came first but the healing egg person has killed Google searches!) uses the resources of the prison to develop the activity. It improves physical and mental health šŸŒ±

Limited in what I can say about current research. And photos are definitely out. So hereā€™s a nice Filipino cat instead
