Okay good people of Bluesky, we're sat in a bar in Puerto Pollença and this is hanging on the wall. Any suggestions regarding it's function? 🤭🤔

Precedent set by the SFA 👍. But if the Prem use us, or even Forest as an example (4 pts deduction for 1 charge), then all we would see is City getting relegated at the end of the season. They would probably be winners of the Championship by the following February, so hardly a massive punishment 😠

😄 At least most of the clubs in the EFL bottom tier have stadia that can cope with that. Remember clubs in Scotland's lowest league having to build temporary stands for the influx of Rangers fans?

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪

A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

Norway's melting ice reveals 48 prehistoric arrows, including a 6,000-year-old slate arrowhead with its shaft. It's incredible what's preserved, offering a rare glimpse into ancient life, but also a stark reminder of what climate change uncovers and threatens.
