Cycling, cricket and a few beers. Preferably in the North Yorkshire sunshine. Meat means murder.

You need to break this habit of checking your feed the moment you open your eyes in the morning. Nothing good comes of starting your day with high anxiety. Nothing good happened overnight. A broken world won’t mend because you read how it’s broken; it’ll just break you. This has been a note to self.

Close-up of a Stock Dove, showing its soft grey feathers, glossy black eye, and a hint of iridescent green and purple on the neck. Its slight upturned beak and gentle expression give the impression of a serene - and mysteriously knowing - smile, set against a softly blurred green background.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove.

It grants you great wisdom and fortune.

Any truth that Sky (UK) will carry Discovery+ from April 2026?

A spoof of an infographic showing a map of Europe, colour-coded by which countries will offer food to visitors. The caption is "Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?" The Nordic territories are labelled "sad", Northern Europe is labelled "sad & wet", Eastern Europe, Southern France and Northern Italy are labelled "sad and drunk" and the Mediterranean nations are labelled "sexy". It's less funny when you explain it, to be honest.

What is the difference between weather and climate. This #dataviz shows the "Central England" average temperature for periods ranging from 1 day (weather) to 30 years (climate). This shows the climate signal emerging. Note the varying y axis that covers the range of the data.

Fear leads to anger,
anger leads to hate,
hate leads to suffering
