It's #StrawberryMoon day! And before you scoff "but the full moon happens every month Catherine", this is the once-every-18.6-yr lunar standstill. In the Northern hemisphere the moon will rise just above the horizon (look S) before it dips back down again 1/🧵🧪🔭 ⏰ www.timeanddate.com/moon/uk/edin...

Now you've all seen how these tech companies operate - they steal from you, even if it's only data about you, and they work with authoritarian regimes such as the US govt - why would you continue to welcome their devices into your homes AND pay for the privilege?

You're a lovely bunch - on the whole - and understand the tedious and un-British need to constantly promote or sink without trace. So if you have friends that are interested in writers, or write themselves, please let them know about the podcast & suggest they subscribe. Please, thank you & sorry 🙏🏼

Not sure why Bear Grylls was having lunch at a Mayfair restaurant with Nigel Farage and Reform moneyman Nick Candy. Maybe they’re trying to persuade the TV presenter to run for Parliament.

Feels like Sir Beer Korma should be sending the TA into Ceredigion to enforce higher speed limits. After all he's "on the side of the motorist". 🙃

This is a lovely sentiment and all, but self-evidently it's bollocks. The history of LA, of its poorest (non-white) communities, of its huge homeless population, and the abuses of the LAPD, tells you that.

It must be pretty sobering to think that at any given time there is least one man stalking you, and trying to break into your home. TS seems to have had at least six of these individuals. The emotional toll must be enormous. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

This is the reason why our British daughter and her Mexican husband could not & still cannot live in her own country, which is what they wanted to do. They're self-employed artists, not wealthy enough. Theirs is one case among thousands of others, some of them tragic. www.change.org/p/stop-the-i...

Georges Seurat's painting depicts a farmer in his fields; it belongs to a series of small-scale paintings on panels or ‘croquetons’ as Seurat called them. This was painted two before 'Grande Jatte,' his magnum opus in 1885, at the age of 25.

During crises like these, look for the helpers. For instance, until ChatGPT is down, ask me any question and I will make something up.
