Surely we technically found the first Planet 9 back in 1930. We called it Pluto. It was, of course, downgraded in 2006, leaving us with the present eight planets. If they do find a new Planet 9, they should choose a name beginning with P to keep the old mnemonics intact! 🔭🪐 #Astronomy

Despite their many severe wrongdoings, Manchester City are going to win the #PremierLeague, aren’t they? If they do, the Premier League could lose a lot of credibility. #LIVMNC

And yes, in these 15 minutes, there have been about three or four fast trains that have passed through. Not a great start to the day, it must be said! 😔

The other annoying thing is that I’ve missed my train, and now I’ve hit a 15-minute gap between trains. During the peak at a busy station, that’s not really good enough. Sort it out @greateranglia.bsky.social.

One of my pet peeves is pedestrian crossing lights that remain just a little bit too long on green, letting dozens of cars through whilst I am waiting to cross the road. It’s like pedestrians are an afterthought (and because of that, I missed my train into work today by seconds). Not good. 😕

If there were more than 100 England fans in this stadium, there would be jubilation everywhere. You wouldn’t be able to hear anything else other than Wonderwall, Sweet Caroline, Three Lions and Rule Britannia. #NationsLeague #CROENG

This increasingly feels like I’m watching a match on FIFA or FC, where England is being played by someone who has played the game for years, whilst Croatia is being played by someone who’s playing the game for the very first time. #NationsLeague #CROENG

Was Richard E Grant’s admission that he is a traitor a shrewd move, or a stupid one? This single question is doubtless now dividing the country in a way that hasn’t been seen since Brexit. #TheCelebrityTraitors

So Spurs could end up finishing the season in 18th, but avoid relegation because Manchester City would already be relegated. Sounds about right. 😄 #THFC

This is very sad. I find it tragic that Andy Burnham’s dad never realised that his son was Prime Minister, due to Alzheimer’s. My condolences are with Andy Burnham and his family. 😢

On September 11, 2001, countless heroes answered the call to help—and among them were brave search-and-rescue dogs who worked tirelessly through unimaginable conditions. Today, we honor these remarkable four-legged heroes and the important role they played during one of America’s darkest days.

Anyway, today my thoughts are with the families, friends and loved ones of the 9/11 victims. On this 25th anniversary, may we never forget that fateful day when terror quite literally came out of the blue.

Even now, seeing or reading Lord of the Flies reminds me of that terrible day. It’s quite apt, considering the underlying message that William Golding was portraying in that story.

I was in school at the time of the 9/11 attacks, 25 years ago today. Indeed, I was in an English class, studying Lord of the Flies. It wasn’t until I got home afterwards and saw the rolling news on TV when I realised the full horror of what was happening. As a teenager, it was shocking to see.

Well, it’s a defeat to Newcastle and we’re still yet to score a point, but we are basically the Trigger’s broom of teams at the moment. We still need to (pardon the pun) find our feet. There’s no need to panic. At least, not yet. #TOTNEW #THFC

I would amuse myself with the crisis that Manchester United have found themselves in. However, Spurs’ score against Brentford is even more awful. Well, it’s only the first game of the season, and it wouldn’t be the #PremierLeague without United and Spurs in crisis mode already. #BRETOT #THFC

I really can’t complain about Spurs’ activity in this summer’s transfer window (unlike previous seasons). The question now is whether this immense spending will show in a significantly improved Premier League performance. Let’s hope so. #COYS #THFC

True. There will be very few people who can say they weren’t warned. However, I’d argue you could reach them (albeit less immediately) with a public information campaign spanning social media, TV and radio. Fire is horrific, but there are ways of warning the public without frightening them.

I understand that. Wildfires can be ferocious and can destroy lives and livelihoods. They could perhaps have had a less intrusive public information campaign about it, however, rather than causing unnecessary panic.

On balance, this #EmergencyAlert was probably overkill, but I can just about see why the government might have sent it.

On the other hand, this might be the only way for the government to send urgent notifications to the young people who use disposable barbecues. They may scroll past it unseen on social media, and may not see or hear it on TV or radio news programmes.
