It is moments like this that really bring home how unutterably awful it was to allow events* to create a national mood in which Boris Johnson & Liz Truss could become Prime Minister. Imagine they were in the post right now… *Brexit

As Israel attempts to bomb Gaza into oblivion, speculation grows over an old plan to cut a canal as an alternative to the Suez. With Gaza flattened, some think the canal might go straight through the ...

#Gibraltar #Weather - 19/01 A mix of patchy low cloud and sunshine to start, but with sunshine gradually giving way to thickening high cloud spreading from the W. A light West to Southwesterly or variable wind, may switch Easterly for a time and, after a colder start, recovering to 16 or 17C.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Today’s poem is considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus. It’s called ‘The Caveman’s Lament’.
The Caveman’s Lament
 
me think about her when sun rises
me think about her when sun sets
me say to her how much me love her
she tell me love invent not yet
 
me make cave all warm and cosy
me lie bearskin on cave floor
me play song of love on bone flute
she choose cave of Tim next door
 
me no more go out hunt mammoth
me throw spear too short or long
me sit in cave me paint her picture 
she say me got perspective wrong
 
me cook meal to show me love her —
diplodocus with fried beans —
she say food anachronistic
me not know what this means
 
stone age mighty hard for lovers
yet rub two flints look what you get
small sparks lead to big inferno
but she say love invent not yet


homo unrequitus

Now this is an interesting story via Reuters. Quietly, without fanfare, several British police forces have largely withdrawn from X as concerns over the promotion of violence & extreme content persist. Reuters surveyed Police & found 8 different forces have hugely scaled back presence on X.
