🚨 Overfishing concerns have reached such intense levels that 58 of the world’s largest seafood businesses have just issued warnings to the UK Govt & the fishing industry to act sustainably. It's time to #EndOverfishing 🐟 insideclimatenews.org/news/0610202...

Worried about AI Robots? All you need is more ram, and a dogged determination to overcome.

Ah, migraine aura: how do I love thee? Let me count the ways .... 0

Have to see if I've got this right: Labour officials are 'hounded from office in disgrace'; Conservatives are 'reshuffled'; Reformists 'step down' after criminal activity is evidenced? OK, then ...

I've just read that Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library have given away 332 million books to children as at present. Take her name out your mouth, Trump: you're not worthy.

Norah is the best little piano player out there. She's amazing, playing by ear. Alanis Morissette certainly approves!

Always Struck Me as Odd (#78) Why, when lovingly filmed in an actual church or cathedral, are the two actors in a motion picture or TV prog not married in the eyes of God, where the formal lines of the marriage ceremony have been recited? After all, He permits it between two who detest each other?

The current rash of quarter-baked proposals and sob-stories from Reform is surely to be expected from a party taking their inspiration (and possibly orders) from Trump in obfuscating and displacement of embarrassing, unwanted press and peer attention. Pitifully, the media is playing its part, too.

@durhamwriter.bsky.social Ah! If you like beach glass, then this lady makes rather beautiful things from it. Also, Shetland wildlife and weather features quite a bit! You may even follow her so please forgive me if you do ☺️ @catherinemunro.bsky.social

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Blue Sky.

Just because Trump habitually uses the term 'Deal', it does not mean that journalists and broadcasters should use his term for deathly serious and difficult negotiations and formal agreements: ending wars, for instance. 'Agreement' or 'Treaty' are leagues above 'deal' in the scheme of things.

Would I change history to cancel any one person? Yes: the person who decided Velcro was suitable for closing back pockets in combat pants. I am sick and tired of getting up from a chair only to have a cushion stuck to my bum, with its cover in threads. I HATE you, anonymous Velcro proponent.

Can you help my friend and I identify what's made such lovely, neat holes in her leaves? Also see the bug hotel! We *think* we know, but would welcome your opinions, too — thanking you 🙏

It appears to be 'Wankadoodle Day' ... why don't my calendars remind me? BBC stroking this for all it's worth. Can we have a moment's silence for Chris Mason being out of the country at this sad time? That's quite enough.

@cloudhead.bsky.social Hello - nice to see you back — I hope whatever it was has been well-and-truly banished 😊

Yes, that's right, Admin: if you continue to show an account in your 'Suggested for You' for more than three months, despite my lack of interest and hiding it, then my subsequent muting will change to 'Block', as I've just done. I'm sure they are perfectly nice but 'not interested' means just that.

@dorsetang.bsky.social Here she is! She hasn't left us for 'better quality engagement' elsewhere: she's just gone to work for Jason in Department 'S' for a bit! 😊

Incredibly, 50 years have passed since the delightfully bucolic Derek & Clive gave us their first ever album of live folk ditties. Veering somewhere between Pride & Prejudice, the jolly couple brought nothing to mind more than 'The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady'. Or part that title thereof 🤔

Why on earth do people still go on 'Today' on R4 when, right-wing excepted, they are not permitted to finish an answer in the face of unnecessarily rude and aggressive questioning? Even Anna Foster's at it now. We learn nothing from this approach other than the editor's own politics.

NEWS!! Here's the poster for my forthcoming solo exhibition of caricatures at @quirkyfox.bsky.social. Entitled 'Divine Comedy', it's themed around comedians and comedy actors. Show opens July 1st. More details and a link to follow in due course. Reposts much appreciated. #caricature #art

I have very flat ears - No 'Shrek' type 'wingnut', I: Of course, this all means that I cannot hear the sky.

I know it's radio, but please may I have subtitles for Aston Villa's Unai Emery's post-match interviews? * asking for c. 16 million others ** not a clue

@cornettofairy.bsky.social In case you missed it ...

That's right, Mr Diamond, do presume to speak for the rest of the world in blaming Iran for Hormuz and the current conflict with Israel and the US on TWatO - do you think we are so stupid as to be taken in by your nonsense? Your guest wasn't. As a BBC presenter, you are expected to be neutral.

Montague toiling away at the shit-face, picture of Starmer marked 'Enemy of Reform' taped to her microphone stand. Come Hell or high water, she, her BBC cronies and the many political-opponent-guests will do everything in their power to remove and destroy Starmer. "WatO: Cheaper than Reform Subs!"

With all the armed, existential conflicts acting out, BBC World at One devotes its entire opening 30 minutes to the number of raging angels dancing on the Mandelson pin-head and makes damn sure Starmer's opponents get 90% of it to imply, smear and lie without a bit of evidence. Rien ne change, alors

Coffee never tastes better than just after eating black grapes. (You have not been charged for this valuable piece of wisdom)

Well judged searchlight on the MO of the right-wing media. Well worth a few minutes to read, imho:
