You're dead to me did an episode on Australian PMs but my wife can't remember the historian who co-presented. Might be a place to start?

A neighbour was telling me how she used to lodge with a Croatian woman and I had to fight myself to not say "what was she crocheting?"

I know, right? I said that a neighbour's planned trip to Antarctica in November was "really cool" and they eyerolled so hard they had to take a little step backwards.

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

The end goal is to be able to deny any wrongdoing as just fabricated. The end goal is unaccountability.

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of @theul.bsky.social seen from the air If you like this image, I’d really appreciate a repost – it helps to spread the word!
An old monochrome picture postcard showing an aerial view of the University Library, Cambridge - a 1930s monumental complex with a central tower and imposing slab-sided buildings in brick and stone. Printed at the foot of the card is Cambridge University Library

You say "if only if they were a third option" as if it's obvious, but as someone who doesn't know very much about fertilisers or processing chicken faeces, could you spell it out?

Sheffield! All rise for the Chief Petty Officer. After an unreal run at Edinburgh Fringe, I’m back home to do my comedy lecture on the history and cultural significance of pettiness (& scientific formula for the perfect petty act) to Sheffield Plate on 4th October at the civilised Sunday time of 4pm

If they'd have been wearing teeshirts supporting Palestinians, obviously there would have been mass arrests, but as they were only wearing paramilitary uniforms, there's nothing the government can do.

A shot of the famous lone tree on Llyn Padarn, Eryri (Snowdonia). I visited today for the first time and couldn't resist.
A lone sapling clings to a rock at the edge of a north Welsh lake. In the distance, shrouded in mist, dramatic mountains frame the view.

Is this really a surprise? A friend was having an emergency the other day and I had to take him to hospital because there wasn't an ambulance available for multiple hours. The truth is that the service has been defunded over many years to the point where any abnormality overwhelms it.
