Glasgow Central is a grand old station, I used it every day when I visited the city couple of years ago, and I hope it gets out of this unscathed

unreliable narrator innit

Spent a fun hour around Clapham Common helping a newbie cyclist gain confidence as part of the Cycling Buddy scheme. Always educational, having to think through habitual learned movements in order to explain how to do things smoothly

How I felt doing my first bicycle ride of 2026 yesterday!!! It never gets old. Freedom, fresh air, and oh that lovely feeling as those legs start to scream.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a ball bounce straight out from the back of the goal before

Good match though tbf

Wrexham advertising their official cold brew coffee provider. Game’s gone

LANGE SCHIP

a massive PR gift for opera and ballet companies for someone of his fame to be casually bad mouthing them. Now they get to ride the backlash. Much worse if nobody mentions you at all

Oof

d [Exeunt. MANDRAKE runs across the stage, crying MANDRAKE Who'll run a race with a ghost? Now, Musicians, strike up Death's Hornpipe, for I dance alone through the world like a Jack o' Lanthorn. [Exit.

Oh I've chosen my epitaph. Let's spice up the graveyard a bit

No Radio 3 I don’t want to hear your AI-completed zombie Beethoven. You’re supposed to be a haven from this sort of shit *switches off*

just noticed the subtle sea monster tail on the cover, nice

The least forgivable part about that Timothée Chalamet interview clip is the fuel he gave to opera company social media teams.

Shaming to the Met and all involved.

yes, you'd think so. I'd never seen one before either

It’s now joining the autumnal ginkgo leaf and assorted artworks on my desk

Found what must surely be a parakeet feather. Wonderful colour gradient 🦜

Haha oh wow they get everywhere don’t they. I did stay in SJ for one (1) night but only saw the inside of a supermarket and my hotel, sad to have missed this!

graphic design is their passion

obviously the first thing a secret society does is put a sign on the front of their lodge. Definitely not an organisation appropriating a 400 year old hoax for culty ends, that's for sure!

there's an old church I often cycle past in Peckham, and today I nearly fell off my bike when I noticed it belongs to the Rosicrucian Order (Francis Bacon lodge). Fabulous 17th century occult news, great to see the lads are still going

Finished Scoop by Evelyn Waugh for my book group- let’s just say I’m not in a massive hurry to read another 1930s comedy written by a white author dealing with Africa 😬

the doors are giving torture chamber
