This sounds wonderful.

At a drinks reception this summer, I listened to a former colleague talking to a young man who’d recently been to Dubai. They vied with one another to tell stories of excess, of drink, of entertainment, of luxury, of fawning service.

I left the conversation, feeling nauseous.

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 16h

I've been to Dubai for work a few times. It's like the world's biggest airport lounge. Utterly soulless. Can't imagine wanting to live there whatever the financial benefits. (That's before you get to the ethical issues...)

Katie Martin @katie0martin.ft.com · 17h

People keep telling me the UK is so over and they're going to move to Dubai and, like, fine. Go on then. Would you like directions to the airport?

I’m supporting Year 6 pupils with their reading. Getting to know them last week, I found out that one boy is obsessed by all things Roman and one girl loves engineering.

As a History graduate who’s just retired from the project to build the UK’s longest railway viaduct, I’m excited by both topics.

The dome of the Pantheon in Rome - still one of the largest domes in the world. Originally built by Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - AD 14), it was rebuilt during the reign of Hadrian (117 to 138 AD) following a fire. 📸 My own #RomanSiteSatutday #Pantheon #Rome

You’ve had the answer three times, but look at illustrations of a medieval scriptorium and you’ll get the idea.

I’m listening to and reading ‘Leviathan’, from cover to cover, and it’s bloody hard. Part 1, chapter 9 so far…

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This year, it comes as the UK is about to pass a law guaranteeing the right to bereavement leave for miscarriage, making us one of only 4 countries in the world to offer it.

My heart is with everyone who experiences the heartbreak of baby loss.
