Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Steve Clarke took Scotland to their first world cup in 28years... Er only because Infanta-tini opened up the world cup to a raft of second rate teams that frankly make most of the games so far boring and no offense i want to see the cream of world football not the first and second divisions

Yesterday should have been Cleo's eighteenth birthday. But seven years ago a grade 4 glioblastoma decided her time was up. We celebrated with our other kids in the wonderful #AbbeyPubShrewsbury and played Cleo's favourite game...The Game oF Life. The irony sat with me. But we had a lovely evening

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Amazing long weekend in Lille with my bestie @viola-jane.bsky.social . Went here specifically to see the Kandinsky Exhibition at the LaM. It's was fab. Even more so for the selfie of Schoenberg that hung in Der Blau Reiter section. #LaM #Schoenberg #Kandinksy

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

Today I’m marking seven years since our 10yo daughter Cleo died. In truth, I’m choosing to celebrate her. Because not a day goes by when I don’t think of her. And yes, sometimes that thought still comes with that tight knot in the chest, the one that never quite leaves. Some days, I still cry.

Louder for the people in the back: "It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage #COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)." The image below is based on data collected from 80,071 kids and teens:
The pooled prevalence of long-COVID by symptoms in children and adolescents. Meta-analyses revealed that the prevalence of more than 40 long-COVID symptoms in children and adolescents. The presence of one or more symptoms following a SARS-CoV-2 infection was 25.24%.

Today would be my beautiful Cleo's seventeenth birthday. I can't believe it's 7 years since brain tumor took her. I still think of her every day in some way. I made, as she called it, 'Leekan potato' soup. With plenty of wine in it, as she happily told her teachers once. Happy birthday.

Here’s a common scam going around that you should know about:
Sometimes cats will meow at you like they haven’t been fed, but in fact someone DID feed them, and they’re just trying to get fed again- stay alert! 🚨
