Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Watching Bristol Bears V Bath Rugby and five tries scored in the first 20 minutes. Very daft game of #rugby

Interesting counter view to the current gilt media coverage.

Word of the day in today’s @nytimes.com - actuarial. I rarely get through a day without using it in a sentence but apparently they have done so just 13 times this year! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/l...

Photo of the Day, if not the Year. Solidarity and admiration. 📸This brilliant photo of Gisele Pelicot, leaving court for the final time yesterday, was taken by Arnold Jerocki for Getty Images.

In all the Poison Ivy-related ecological googling I've done over the past few years, this is the conclusion I've come to on a personal and practical level: just use stuff for as long as you possibly can before throwing it out. Getting more granular will drive you nuts

ADOPT A MALE RIDER FOR 2025 SEASON! The time has come for this wonderful game - if you want to cheer for someone in particular during 2025, just let me know in this post and I'll assign a random rider who you can cheer for live/online to you via a pro random number generator :) Let's play now!

CYMRU HAVE DONE IT! Rhian Wilkinson’s side are heading to the Euros! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Massive away win for the little fella.

When I will respond to your email

I’m trying to re-home a small poodle that barks a LOT. If interested let me know and I'II hop over my neighbor's fence and get it for you.

Always a good read* * For pensions folk

Well done Fiji 🇫🇯 🏉 a thoroughly deserved win. This is a record breaking year for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 rugby, for all the wrong reasons ☹️

By far the most sensible suggestion I've seen on the NHS Ideas For Change site from the 1250 contributions to date... change.nhs.uk/en-GB/ideas/...

First race of the cyclo-cross season Belgium National Champion and World Cup winner, Eli Iserbyt, crashes and stamps on another rider's gears. Ryan Kamp then has to run the rest of the lap. Absolute world class level shithousery! #cross is back!

If you caught the cycling bug when watching the Olympics then don't worry Tour de France Femmes started today 🥳

Thank you @actuarybyday.bsky.social
