“Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here”. There are now thousands and thousands of Bristolians here. “We are many, they are few”. Not wrong!

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 @spiritland I didn’t catch who was playing, who was it?

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 @spiritland The most beautiful playing of Mexican Solace I’ve ever heard - always takes me back to The Sting

@StevenIsserlis @paavo_jarvi Dream combo

A strange thing just happened - again. I switched on the radio and heard the Elgar concerto. I knew it wasn’t me, because there were some fingerings I don’t use - and the fast runs sounded clear! But I identified with it, somehow. And then: turned out WAS me, with @paavo_jarvi !!

Ancient woodlands aren’t a blocker. Wildlife isn’t a hindrance. Chalk streams aren’t anti-growth. Our wildlife is on the brink - one in six species faces extinction. These species help define who we are as a nation - we won’t get a second chance to save them.

This is excellent from the TUC. We need to see much more of these types of social media posts. 👏

Next week MPs are voting on the fate of our protected wildlife and habitats. Lives are on the line so why isn’t this everywhere?  I’m asking our local politicians to stand up and say something about this dangerous bill ⬇️ bristol247.com/opinion/your-s…

New Yorkers faced a clear choice - between hope and fear - and just like we've seen in London - hope won. Huge congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on his historic campaign.

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week. Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined. Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen. The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

@beardedjourno 😭

This was a very sad site to see at Baltic Wharf this morning. Around 70 trees are due to be felled to make room for 166 new flats.

@DanicaPriest 😩

Such a sad day. This did not need to happen 😞 🌳🌳🌳🌳

As people of all faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds, today we stand with Britain’s Jews. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us. United we stand Divided we fall

Not sure I’ve ever seen coffee art to rival this. Goes well with latest TRiH series ⁦@holland_tom⁩ ⁦@dcsandbrook⁩

Swweeeeeeet chestnuts. So many. What a mast year.

A tree that was blown down during a winter storm has been turned into a 6m (19.7ft) sculpture of a pouncing fox at a Cornish gardens!

bristol247.com/climate/news-c… @lukejerram collaboration with @AvonNeedsTrees - seriously exciting. An artwork that takes 100 years to mature but lasts for many future generations to come. And reminds everyone of the power of trees to tackle the climate and nature crises. 💥 🌳
