Absolutely the world needs cats with the attitude that a kiss and hug can break up conflict..

Much enjoying #Pilgrimage, Northumberland is the most wonderful county and Lindisfarne has a very special atmosphere of peace and tranquility. I have a few precious items related to the Lindisfarne Gospels, love illuminated texts.

While you may have been on an Easter egg hunt on Sunday, one of our crews were cracking open a garage wall in a search for trapped fox cubs on Letchworth Road. All 3 were recovered safely with one given oxygen therapy, and then left with the RSPCA for treatment. Fantastic result!

@mickeya100 One of those grey things that enjoys the most expensive koi carp in its diet!

Spotted on canal today, what is it ?

@zarahussain999 @PolitlcsUK I wouldn't have put you down as a Ye (he changed his name legally) fan, given what he persuades his wife to wear, and the lyrics of some of his songs! He was banned from Australia; Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube have banned his songs. youtu.be/HBMy-y2wb4I?si…

@PolitlcsUK Strange decision

🚨 BREAKING: The Government has blocked Kanye West from entering the UK to perform at Wireless Festival because his presence would "not be conducive to the public good"

@HamasAtrocities What's the bit about suffragettes? Emmeline Pankhurst was a militant in the early 1900s when I doubt the peaceful Muslim women were allowed many rights at that time.

HAHAHA A young woman wearing a keffiyeh confronts police in the UK saying: "We fought for this country. Slavery was legal" The reply she gets from a British man is epic

@bookplatypus Apparently the gov't wants to standardise bin collections across England, not sure if it applies to nations too. Fly tipping is a huge and costly issue for farmers apparently.

@EmFord2015 Belfast City Council roster their bins and boxes, recently have banned bin liners and over-filled bins with stuff hanging out! Fly tipping is endemic.

Bank Holiday chaos! When the street binfluencer cottons on to their role and starts putting their bins out at 7.30am on the day of collection. And everyone else realises they've put the wrong bins out on the wrong day!

Honored to have traveled further than any spread in history 🚀 Taking spreading smiles to new heights ❤️

@bookplatypus Being a relative newbie I'm not sure how strict or relaxed this council is yet, not many have brown bins for some reason 🤔

@EmFord2015 My bin is lead bin! Next door brown bin flashed with tge red badge of shame because it had a few twigs hanging out of it

@bookplatypus Hopefully, although they may have taken Australian Vegemite instead 😕

@EmFord2015 One great leap for Nutella - maybe Marmite should be there too.

Talking Nutella, try it the Italian way with Nutella Macchiato, out of this world (although Nutella was vegetarian, they now do a vegan version)!

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

@helen296442 @AlexBarnicoat_ Using Sanhedrin 58b “While it is a part of the Babylonian Talmud, it is not practiced as binding halakha (Jewish law)” for 1,500 years. Judaism keeps up with modern times, as do most religions.

@AlexBarnicoat_ Not a religion of peace

The average Jewish family in the UK has 7 children. The average Christian family in the UK has 1.9 children. Labour just lifted the Two Child benefit cap, which won't affect the vast majority of British people. But Jews? They're about to get paid a fortune. Why?

@sueveneer So many people saying chewing food makes me realise my mother suffered it, it was a constant telling off throughout my childhood. Wish she was alive to chat about it now I understand.

Fellow misophonia sufferers…what is your most dreaded noise?

@AlexBarnicoat_ Still throwing out untruths? There are far more secular Jews than Ultra-Orthodox, it balances out at 2.6 children per Jewish family. Most Jews work and many are professional high earners so doubtful they'll ALL claim child benefit. Did your parents teach you to hate?

Dear college students who so fervently protested for months across America: Iran is hanging kids your own age for doing exactly what you did - protesting. Why aren’t you standing up for Iranians who desperately want freedom? nypost.com/2026/04/05/wor…

I envy the Israeli left. Not their politics. Their freedom. They march through Tel Aviv calling their own country an apartheid state. They go on CNN and call the IDF war criminals. They write op-eds in Haaretz comparing Israel to the worst regimes in history. They join NGOs funded by hostile governments to produce reports designed to delegitimize the Jewish state. And then they go home. Sleep in their beds. Send their kids to school the next morning. No one threatens their family. No one disappears them in the night. No one drags them from their home. Zero consequences. Now imagine, just imagine, if Iranians had 1% of that freedom. If an Egyptian columnist could criticize Sisi the way Gideon Levy criticizes Netanyahu. If a Palestinian in Ramallah could call Abbas corrupt on live TV and walk home safely. If someone in Gaza could have held a sign saying "Hamas does not speak for me" without being executed. The Middle East would be unrecognizable. The great irony is that the people who enjoy more political freedom than virtually anyone else in the region use that freedom to paint Israel as a tyranny while the actual tyrannies they're silent about would imprison or kill them for doing the same. You're not brave. You're spoiled. You mistake comfort for conscience. You scream "genocide" into a microphone the state itself protects, then sleep soundly in a democracy you spend your days trying to destroy, while millions across this region would trade everything they have for five minutes of the freedom you use to spit on your own country.

In a stunning location this morning listening to and watching skylarks when 5 cars drew up, boom box music shaking the earth. People piled out and started dancing and drinking at 10am! Never mind dogs, humans are a danger to wildlife too ☹️

@MikeHudema Great news! I've seen the massive logging vehicles on the roads across all areas of NSW, with 2 trailers piled high which then transfer to logging trains. Horrendous, I've seen all sorts of Aussie animals in the wild but never a koala, only ever in sanctuaries.

Good news for this little guy! Thousands of acres of koala habitat (8,400 hectares (21,000 acres) of forest) are now protected and offlimits to logging in New South Wales: buff.ly/3Ph34q0 Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity

@Rothmus Boomer here who helped teach young people about AI 15 years ago! Also has a spam call detector on their mobile phone, any that get through in error are immediately deleted from the memory. We're not all numpties!

I worry about the boomers.
