These superb prawns are not on Twitter because, y’know, take that! Trump/ Musk. The bed of lemon risotto they lay on before being eaten is not on any social media platform because we were all too hungry and scoffed it first.

Thank you @dulwichcollege.bsky.social for these beautiful prints of Frank Hurley’s photographs of Shackleton’s expedition south. As the ice crushed their ship, they never gave up, played football, took photographs, and worked out a way home over tens of thousands of miles of oceans of ice and water.

This is William Hawkes-Reynolds, demonstrating the power of voice, at Cumberland Lodge. Here, he had just concluded Mark Anthony’s speech with ‘men have lost their reason. Bear with me;My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar. A masterclass of pace and tone. You could have heard a pin drop.

Personal bests are not broken by strength alone. Theyre broken by being so winded that you can’t do the maths and stick an extra plate on by mistake.

Right now? It feels like we are living in a reenctment of the Manchurian candidate, 1984, the Handmaids tale, and a to 20 of the mistakes preceded WW2.

Trump, Putin, Musk, Truss, Farage, Xyi. History’s judgement will not be kind. But in the meantime, from those who must pay the price? In the words of the duke of exeter in Henry V “Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, And any thing that may not misbecome The sender, do we prize you at”
