COMMENTARY: Between January and April of this year, an astounding quarter of all flights in the eastern Baltic Sea region experienced GPS disturbances.

And the fact that these incidents haven’t resulted in any aviation disasters so far is thanks to pilot skill.

Russia’s GPS interference is the new normal

Half a dozen countries are experiencing an extraordinary surge in GPS disturbances. But collectively, we can blunt the harm of these dangerous tactics.

I asked the Guardian’s research department to count up the number of stories in national newspapers about asylum seekers or small boats or refugees. They found 542 in just the past month. And how many on the cost of living or essentials or living standards? Just 45.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

I would say that's about 45% of the apples from one tree. I lose a lot to birds, insects and windfall. It's always a good crop but this year is ridiculous.
Apple butter sounds delicious.

Finished picking this year's apples in the pouring rain before storm Amy landed. Considering how many I've already eaten and given away, this has been a bumper crop. My kitchen smells amazing.

Hundreds of red and pale green apples in large bowls and piled on the floor.
