“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Happy New Year! At midnight on Hogmanay, the Watch Stone will move from its position guarding the approach to the Ness of Brodgar to take a drink from Stenness loch. (Or so it is said!) Wishing you all a wonderful 2026, filled with folklore, fun and many a hike to an ancient site 💚🪨🎉

I can't believe this is literally the ONLY mention of the Balvin session on the whole of Bluesky. Like yeah, it's a bit of a dud, tries to rise above it and yet "for fun" is obviously in response to "pa' divertirme"... but ONE MENTION?! This place is deader than the dodo!!!

Someone needs to make an alternate history film where a time traveller defenestrates Hitler at this exact moment during his visit to Prague Castle
(Two photos and a commemorative stamp. The visit took place on 16 March 1939, the day after the German annexation of the rest of the Czech lands.)

Nothing has radicalised me more than seeing how the government completely elimimated homelessness during the pandemic and yet after it was done we were right back to pretending it was impossible.

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

I'm watching this British Museum video about the Sutton Hoo sword and the curator mentioned that the owner - possibly an early king of East Anglia - was probably left-handed and that it could have been an advantage in combat based on her rookie boxing experience.
