Two good wins and a hard-fought draw on day one. Five more matches over the next two days to decide the title.

Heading to Nottingham to represent the South East at another Touch Nationals this weekend. It's getting harder to make the cut each year. This might be the strongest squad I've been part of. #TouchRugby

This headline and its prominent position on the BBC News home page suggest that this is something to be concerned about today. It was a relief to find that it refers to things that happened 18,000 years ago.

Nice day for a late winter bike ride. Warm sun and an icy breeze. 42.5km with an unplanned 2000 feet of elevation (Komoot assured me it was 1,300). #BicycleRoaming

Does anyone know what the specific concerns about TikTok are? What are they doing that Facebook isn't also already doing? Or is it just doing it while being Chinese that's unacceptable?

PSA: Always wear eye protection when cycling (and maybe look where you're going as well). Got snagged by an overhanging bramble while I was focused on an oncoming car. Without glasses it could have been nasty, as it was I just had to pick some broken-off thorns out of my face and wipe up the blood.

Even for us non-rocket-scientists this is a solved problem. Surprising to see this flagged as an issue for NASA.
