After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

“In a continent losing the security we relied on all our lives, trade disputes become trivial, Brexit an irrelevance. Merz is calling for Europe to come together in foreign, trade & security policy. Starmer ought to seize the chance and abandon fears of Brexiters” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Speaking as a #pisces can I just say that I’m sick of our reading always being at the bottom of the horoscope list - even in Pisces season

Five things I achieved last week: - Naps - Snoozes - Resting my eyes - Dozing - Writing this list

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

No need for subtlety here.

This is a line from the Hobbit film, but still very much worth sharing as work inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien. #Booksky

To anyone wondering if the Trump bullshit about Zelensky's 4% approval rating is true or even vaguely accurate: February poll shows support for Zelensky UP to 57% from a low of 50%. Putin's puppet does it again. Slava Ukraini

Typically clear and balanced. Really, Joshua should be a judge.

Some people call them shadows. I like to think of them as fleeting works of #art

A brilliantly engaging and heart-warming novel about love, loss and finding your feet in your 40s - I adored this book! @ronalicollings.bsky.social #BookSky bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/02/18/a...

Wanted to move for years but the wife was having none of it. Showed her around some lovely houses but the answer was always no. Convinced her the current house is haunted. We exchanged last week.

I've developed an obsession with Wispa Gold. I eat *a lot* of them, mostly without my wife knowing how many. Until Sainsbury's emailed at the end of the year saying she was the no.1 consumer of them in Clevedon. I blamed a data error. Must stop using the same Nectar card.

Even photos of cabbage leaves looked like movie stars in the 1920s and 30s. #photography

⚡️Ukraine, Europe must be involved in peace talks, Rubio says. "Ukraine will have to be involved, because they're the one that were invaded, and the Europeans will have to be involved because they have sanctions on Putin and Russia as well."

Ooh @katebevan.com I think your lovely cemetery is in the absolutely amazing #Pennyworth

⚡️'We're ready to move to real and guaranteed peace as quickly as possible' — Zelensky on meeting with Vance. A Ukrainian delegation led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with representatives of the U.S. government, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, at the Munich Security Conference.

QUICK THREAD! This is 29 Highton Street, Sheffield. 🏠In the mid C19, freehold land societies bought up land & sold it to people in weekly installments. 🏠This allowed owners to vote! An old statute said those who owned property that could be rented for £2+ a year were allowed to cast a ballot!

Make Orwell fiction again

Monbiot nails it: "this is direct appeasement ... these people who go on and on about sovereignty, say they are the defenders of sovereignty, when it actually comes to the crunch they will sell anyone down the river."

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.
