theguardian.com‘Comfort in a bowl’: porridge hotter than ever as fibremaxxers get their oatsHumble breakfast staple at heart of trend stirred up by health concerns and hearty spoonfuls of nostalgia The clocks may be going back in the UK this weekend, but the biggest sign winter is coming is a steaming bowl of porridge on a breakfast table. A staple for centuries, porridge is traditionally made with oats, water and a pinch of salt or sugar.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

This 1,800 year-old Roman glass cup is so well preserved that the railway construction worker who found it in the 1800s used it as a flower vase not realising its age! 💐 😲 From Himlingøje, Denmark. National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

Antique shop find; a ca.1930s v/e sign for the long lost Midland Counties Dairies whose milk & ice cream, were certainly part of my '60 Black Country childhood. Originally founded in Wolverhampton the ice cream factory was in Birmingham; acquired by Unigate in 1963. @simonbriercliffe.bsky.social

A favourite poster. A part of a broader initiative to enhance the customer experience, and thus retain and win traffic, between 1926 and 1928 the LNER put considerable effort into improving punctuality. This poster promoted this, seeking to build trust in the the co's services.

🛠️ Most people today encounter Dunston Staiths as a quiet heritage site. In the 1970s, it was a dangerous place of work. A new film by Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen and Peter Roberts brings that history back into view → sidegallery.co.uk/blog/coal-staiths-of-the-river-tyne Commissioned by Tyne Derwent Way

Credit @sophiep25397.bsky.social on Twitter Farage lied when he said he was too ill to appear for the BBC interview on Sunday. The Heartland Institute, whose party he attended instead, doesn't believe in tobacco harms, climate change and seeks the dismantling of the NHS. Be warned. If you care
