A rather more honest Jeffrey Archer obituary by @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social I kept coming back to Coghlan: "You're a liar. He's a liar and he knows it. He's even putting his wife through it. I've got nothing he's got money. I can't even go back to work" brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/here-lies-...

Here lies Jeffrey Archer

The death of one of Britain’s most infamous liars brings back memories of Monica Coghlan.

Dass Friedrich #Merz sein Abi-Zeugnis nicht öffentlich machen will, weil er alles andere als ein Überflieger war, spiegelt die Geisteshaltung unseres Kanzlers perfekt wider: Bloß NIEMALS offen mit Fehlern oder Schwächen umgehen – was könnten sonst die Leute denken?

Not a very niche choice, but: The Wizard of Oz film. Especially the scenes with flying houses or monkeys, and melting witches.

Today’s big local news: #unifreiburg has levelled up to the ranks of excellence. 🥳 I really, really hope that this can mean some investment in the provision of adequate teaching rooms and related infrastructure for those who use them, students and staff alike.

You absolutely don’t gotta hand it to post-premiership Tony Blair, but as long as Gerhard Schröder’s around, he’s never going to win the “worst former PM or equivalent from a left-wing party” award

Just bumped into an old school friend who I hadn’t seen in 30 years. In the space of a short conversation - which I terminated quickly - he complained about people seeking asylum and trans people in schools. The rot taking hold of people is as disturbing as a zombie apocalypse.

Let's hope so! I've noticed a lot more of our students becoming vociferously anti-AI and calling out others for using it in recent months.

So, who's your money on? Gérard Depardieu? Javier Bardem? Personally, I suspect Jackie Woodburne (Susan off Neighbours).

Close to six hours on the Autobahn has not been the most scintillating Friday experience. Grateful for small giggles along the way.

George Monbiot was nominated for last year’s ThereForME Advent Calendar for using journalism to shine a light on failings faced by pwME. Today, he writes that too often people with ME are abandoned, while discredited treatments continue to be prescribed. He’s right.

That’s good to know, and makes sense. Thanks!

Welcome to Historic Wales, the map enabled portal for historic environment information in Wales. You can search hundreds of thousands of records of Welsh archaeology, buildings and artefacts.

Haven't used this Scottish resource but wanted to add that for those researching Wales, @rcahmwales.bsky.social have a fab resource for layering modern & historical maps, pinpointing sites of particular interest. It was a GOLDMINE on my recent Penmachno #familyhistory tour. www.historicwales.gov.uk
