Beautiful skies over Sheffield tonight with a crescent moon sitting right underneath Venus. There's probably a cool astronomy term for it.

Feel like I need to do "St. Pancras Live" because let me tell you, the guy sitting next to me is on a date (I think) and his chat is absolutely insane.

Another episode of All in the Mind done. We talk about why our phones feel like they're vibrating even though they aren't, and why we so often fail to notice what's right in front of us. Listen Tuesday 16th June at 9.30, or Wed 17th at 21.30. Or catch up any time via BBC Sounds.

If you've been watching 'Dear England', you'll have noticed that one of the main characters is Dr Pippa Grange... here she is in conversation with @dr-peter-olusoga.bsky.social back in 2019. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Your principles and your values mean precisely nothing if you're willing to abandon them to avoid upsetting bigots.

We can learn a lot about managing burnout from elite sport. There's no pressure quite like it. So how do those at the top manage the stress that leads to burnout? And also Batman. open.substack.com/pub/peteolus...

I feel like this should have been seen by a few more people before going to press.

For one glorious week in March of 2026, I knew which bin it was on bin day. That particular magic has deserted me, and fear I will never regain it.

My first day on Twitter was Gazza trying to talk down Raoul Moat.

It's days like these that I really miss Prime 2010s Twitter.

Dr Pete Olusoga @dr-peter-olusoga.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

It's weird because someone was asking me just the other day who I would go to for health, fitness, and nutrition advice and without hesitation, I said RFK Jr and Kid Rock.

I watched Predator Badlands. Weyland Yutani is like the embodiment of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Surely they've realised by now that "capturing advanced hostile alien species to develop bio-weapons" is just not a viable business model.

My absolute favourite thing about continuing to train into my late 40s is when you spend a good amount of time warming up properly and then pull an intercostal on your first working set and can't breathe for like 5 whole minutes. Superfun times 💪🏾

I low-key wanna watch the Turning Point USA Alternative Fascist Superbowl Half-time Show for Fascists. It will be so unfathomably shite that I almost feel like I'd be missing out on something really quite spectacular. Almost, mind you. Almost.

"Focus on what you can control" is decent enough advice BUT.... that doesn't mean the uncontrollable stuff just ceases to exist and stops having an impact on us. So what do we do with the uncontrollable stuff?

Dr Pete Olusoga @dr-peter-olusoga.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

We kind of SHOULD be overwhelmed right now! There's a lot of overwhelming stuff going on, so if you're struggling with that, it's not a YOU problem... Continued below...

So now I'm annoyed because I've just finished watching Severance and I've found out I haven't finished watching Severance because there's going to be a third season (series, shut up), but not for another 18 months at least. And I don't think it needs a third series anyway. The ending was perfect.
