Live Ups & Downs is a fantadtic concept! Good luck this weekend!

@ascottreid.bsky.social 🇩🇪 1, 2, 3 wtf?

Looks like the dog was enjoying herself with the afternoon #koirajengi while I was slaving away over a hot keyboard...

Cavicular frame mogged

I don't know what any of these words mean.

That pic was... before covid, before elections, before far too many international moves (for both of us) and I honestly aged a hundred years since then!!

*I just realised todsy is Wednesday 😂

Good morning, huomenta, god morgon! Started my Tuesday bright and early talking with @aurasalla.bsky.social in Brussels about European tech. Always good to catch up! (📷 Picture not representative of our actual conversation!)

Ok, back with the afternoon #koirajengi today, running around the woods and swimming in the stream 🐾

A wise college indeed!

"It was not a consideration"

I am pretty sure the promise of treats was the key to making this photo work!

She's back with her usual afternoon #koirajengi tomorrow but definitely enjoyed the morning crew today (she knows a few of them at least).

The dog was out for 4️⃣ hours with the morning #koirajengi today, through the forest and up onto the hills. And that means she's been snoring in her bed ever since, with just a brief period awake to eat dinner! 🐾🐶🌲🇫🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our regular Sunday afternoon play dates with Archie the black Labrador are a highlight each week, and the dog gets crazy excited when we are driving down to meet him! 🐾

Media | Ukrainan tuhoihin ei pitäisi turtua Venäjän hyökkäyssota Ukrainassa jatkuu jo viidettä vuotta. Neljä median tuntijaa pohtii, mihin uutiskerronnassa pitäisi kiinnittää huomiota, jotta yleisön mielenkiinto säilyy ja sodasta välittyy toden...

Aiheita, jotka yhdistävät meidät ukrainalaisiin heidän jokapäiväisessä taistelussaan.

Se ei ole täydellinen ratkaisu, mutta uutisvirrassa nämä tarinat voivat herättää huomiota.

Konflikteja seuranneena kokemukseni mukaan vaikuttavin journalismi kertoo edelleen yksittäisten ihmisten henkilökohtaisia tarinoita sodan seurauksista. Tarinoita, jotka resonoivat Ukrainasta Helsinkiin ja korostavat yhteistä ihmisyyttämme.

At this point in the conflict, news fatigue has long since set in, exacerbated by time and distance from events, and it's difficult to get readers, viewers and listeners to pay attention to the incremental daily updates. They are often numb to this – and so are the editorial staff.

In this week's Helsingin Sanomat @hs.fi media column, we looked at the four-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This is such a brilliant description!

38-35 was far too close for comfort against the team at the bottom of the league, while we're vying for 2nd place 😠

Good that the claim is being attributed to a regime source and not treated as a fact because it cannot be verified.

Saturday is a rugby day! Going to watch Rosyth vs Dundee Uni Medical Students later. Always a bruising encounter! If the rain holds off I'll take the dog too. Her perfect afternoon! 🦈🏉🧡🩶

Fun fact, that's also B'Elanna's best hair.

I didn't want to give any spoilers when I first wrote this! But Trek is very good at glossing over loss, trauma as if it never happened. Half the Voyager crew killed in Caretaker and one week later it's "Let's bang the Delaney sisters, Harry!" and "there's coffee in that nebula". Lt Stadi, RIP.

Wee Bairns means "Little Children" in Scots, in case some of your followers did not know.

I just remembered a lassie in my class at primary who had one parent called John, and one parent called Jean and they named her... Jonean. So okay I was mocking Markwayne for having an absolutely redneck name but then I remembered Jonean.

Until today, I never heard of Markwayne as one word / name.

Kind of like Stevejim or Danluke.

Unique.

It means Flame Thrower. Which was (perhaps unsurpringly!) a new Finnish word which I did not preciously know. Not a lot of use for it in my line of work!
