The eclipse on Wednesday is going to look amazing. I went out for a recce yesterday to find a good viewing point. This is the view from Hammersmith Bridge at the exact time of day that the eclipse will occur and the next image is a mock-up of how it will look.

There are, in my view, 25 things everyone needs to understand in light of recent events: 1) Those out in our communities last night were not protestors, but organised far right extremists. 2) Their actions align with fascist ideologies. 3) So yes: these are fascist practices on our streets. 🧵

Wondering whether anything I did early in my career had any wider impact, I looked up a project I initiated 25+ years ago. To my surprise, David Goodhart, founding editor of Prospect, described it as “one of the oddest marketing stunts in publishing history.” So that's something.

I had a root about in my rough boulder opals earlier and spotted this one. I was surprised that I hadn't noticed the colour in it before. I'm not sure what to do with it.

I've got a shed load of rough boulder opal, agates & weird, wonderful stones. Way too many for me to work my way through. If anyone has stuff they want to swap, get in touch. I'm based in the UK, can ship & also travel widely for my proper job so I can post locally to reduce costs. Rock me!

Rough, Queensland boulder opal. Rock hounds and lapidarists fever dream!

So...... this seems real bad. The FBI executed a sealed search warrant today on a key Atlanta area election office - and wouldn't say what that warrant was for. "A source told FOX the FBI was there to take custody of Fulton County election ballots from 2020." www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fbi-exe...

All change at the Windsor Estate. The Andrew formerly known as Prince is out, as are plebs, excluded from a 150-acre zone, and Charles is freshening up his private garden with the addition of a statue of Hercules. He personally oversaw its removal from its iconic setting in Kews Garden. #NoKingsUK!

The curious case of the King and the statue

A statue of Hercules admired by millions has disappeared from Kew Gardens. Why has Charles decided to remove a prime piece of public art?

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

The front cover of a scientific journal titled Ornithologist, dated 1 April 2025. The main headline reads: “BIRDS: DECODED - Groundbreaking New Science.” Below that, a subheading says: “What are the UK’s birds really saying? Pioneering new research provides the answers.”
