This is disgusting. How does Thiel get a private view of the Bayeux Tapestry but a taxpayer doesn’t?? How is Osborn even on the board of this museum?! He is probably the least appropriate person to be there 😡😡😡 @stellacreasy.bsky.social @torstenbell.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social

Another stupid clickbait headline from BBC who should do better. The headline does not reflect the actual story, in which Charles does not want his Sons to walk behind their mothers coffin while the public weep and wail. And he was correct - it was grotesque. They were little boys.

I've been checking the source of quotes for my forthcoming book, and the performance of Gemini is extraordinary. I paste the quote into Google, and Gemini will barge in with the wrong answer over and over again. It's not an occasional thing - it's reliably wrong. Very odd.

£3.46 billion spent in the Premier League transfer window this summer. All at the cost of rising ticket prices and subscriptions, games being moved for tv, against a backdrop of a toxic social media circus revelling in the abuse of players and all normalised by punditry and shite like talksport.

'Portrait, Paul Verlaine.' (1868) During his lifetime, Frédéric Bazille sold not a single picture; he died at age 28 in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, a loss which counts among the greatest losses to the history of art and seemed to condemn him to the limbo of art history.
