One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

As a humble podcaster, it’s good to see this headline. You feel immense pressure to get on the video pod train, but it’s so fucking expensive to do - which feels like the complete antithesis of what podcasting was supposed to be; a chance for the indies to have a shot.

Just been over on Twitter because nobody on my timeline here is posting about the #Ashes. It is now so broken that the timeline doesn't come up in chronological order, it just shows you the posts from the people you follow that it thinks you'll like. Musk really fucked it.

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI
So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to)
I've written this document to try to explain WHY it's a bad idea rather than just forbidden fruit.

God this stuff is so embarrassing. There is so much about modern Britain that *should* offend conservative Christians, yet we get this complete wibble instead. The 'true' meaning of Christmas is being cancelled by consumerism, not 'the woke liberati'.
The UK far right is increasingly infiltrating the Anglican church so this is bang on trend.

What a ridiculous handball in the #Wolves match. How is it a "deliberate" handball? He leans his body to block the shot but forgot to chop off his arm before doing so. Do players have to actually jump out of the way of the ball now?

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

How quickly Rio Ferdinand has forgotten.
When he knew what it was like to need support, he wanted the state to provide.
But now he's put that behind him he's joining the tax dodgers in the desert.
Where does he think the money for bereaved parents will come from?

I don't know if this is right or not (I doubt it) but it does make me think that more people staying in is the last thing society needs. Between the internet, cost of living and the legacy of lockdown, we have a leaving-the-house crisis that manifests in everything from mental health to politics
Former cinema manager here. Chain cinemas will mostly close and independent cinemas will die out completely in the next couple decades. The costs are just not worth it. It's far too convenient and cheaper to watch films at home.

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that
