The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

Still holds.
The old yougov poll in which 12% of men thought they could take a point off Serena Williams, along with the classic tweet: “Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly.”

Reform have misspelt 2 out of the 3 Welsh words on their manifesto for Wales. Nigel Farage and Wales leader Dan Thomas proudly held up the manifesto at the launch yesterday. On the front cover it reads "Family, community, country," which has been translated to "Teulu, gymnued, wlad." 1/2

Decided to start relearning Welsh. Duolingo seems to think we all talk about (and to) dragons regularly... #Cymraeg

Such a great morning celebrating Arsenal Women and their European win!
A family of four wearing a mix of arsenal kit and London fire brigade uniform (for a 5 min swing past the stadium). Front of the Emirates stadium with a big red sign saying 'Arsenal Women Champions of Europe 2025'The Arsenal women's team in front of the stadium and their crowd! They were fab.

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry. The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale. Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs. 1/2

New life stage: Allotment Veg patch now prepped. Peas are in. Beetroot and spinach next. So much to sort on the rest of the plot, but a joyous fruit section is already established (if full of weeds). #AllotmentBore
A dinky shed with bunting, surrounded by garden stuff like water buts, a folded up compost bin and also lots of nettles (apparently that's good for the soil if not the skin...). Part of the prepped veg patch, plus another bit under tarpaulin and a range of fruit trees including one with lots of blossom that might be apple, not sure). Veg patch with 8 channels prepped and 2 with peas sown. (Supporting sticks to follow). So pleased we managed to plant something! 1 of 2 rows of peas I planted today.

This is SUCH a predictable scenario. And such poor system design. Honestly even if GP practices can't see this for themselves (& they should), the software companies ought to invest in some codesign.

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society” - Gisèle. What a woman.

A thread on AI, the NHS, and my view of some problems. Most of this is copied from a reply I did to a good article on HSJ on the subject. The NHS's AI problem is mainly to do with two things: - "shiny new toy" syndrome - outright disinformation by conflicted people 1/

I see people use QR codes in fundraising graphics. Be advised that QR codes in graphics are easily replaced by bad actors, essentially giving them an opportunity to try and hijack some payments and funnel them to their own accounts. (1/5)
The image shows two virtually identical campaign graphics asking for donations for World Kindness Day by scanning a QR code. The QR codes are different but it’s essentially impossible to see this.

The text above the graphics reads: If you have a campaign graphic with a QR code, a bad actor can easily edit your graphic to include their QR code instead. It’s virtually impossible to spot the difference.

Below the graphics is a web address: axbom.com/qr-hijacking
