Thanks to @alexhorne.bsky.social, we are playing Shoe's Clues from the @taskmaster.tv crackers. Because we're at my dad's house, it includes 6 pairs of brown slip-on skechers distinguishable only by level of wear. It turns out that Shoe's Clues has a Hard Mode.

Who is being helped by excluding trans kids from colouring in shrinking keyring thingies, going 'stargazing' in the village hall carpark, and accidentally eating a firelighter you thought was a marshmallow? A pointlessly cruel action the in culture war.

I met someone experiencing homelessness in London today - they were unable to find safe places to sleep at night, so they were increasingly sleep deprived, and their parents are overseas in a place with a humanitarian crisis and they hadn't been able to contact them in several days 1/3

“Exaggerated”?
👉 2025 summer was the hottest on record for the UK, with sustained heat
👉 2023–25 is likely to be the hottest 3-year period recorded
👉 2024, ocean heat content record high
The laws of physics remain unchanged
We need leadership, not retreat

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".
He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.
