Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Our land is thick with history. Our scheduled ancient monuments need protection but it’s not footfall threatening them, it is amnesia. Shocking that over 5,500 such sites have no right of access.

The arguments against making the sites, listed by @righttoroam.bsky.social legally accessible are poor, as is the feeble response from the DCMS.

Musk’s tweeting behaviour mapped. Notice both the hours and the intensity. It’s clearly an addiction bundled in with spiralling narcissism. Will be interesting to see if there is a crash at some point.
