A beautiful work from Tim Norris - form meets function to create a bird shelter timnorris.co.uk/dwell/

Boy and pigs

This nature recovery craic isn’t that hard once you start... quite modest changes have brilliant effects And a lot of it is just about sensible landscape/farm design

@JohnJCrace A man born for the social media age - getting just enough information to think that he’s right, but not enough to know that he’s wrong.

Just listening to Vance. He has the certainty of someone who is not very bright

This sketch makes my laugh like a drain but because of a characteristic as opposed to a punchline. That's what makes it so clever, I suppose. We quote it ad nauseum in our house. All together now: What, forty, forty five years??

I want to vomit every time I hear someone from our goverment saying we are going to be world leaders in AI. What a crock of dangerous BS. What about being world leaders in looking after our landscapes and nature, looking after our people, looking after our health and our diet?

@herdyshepherd1 @FaberBooks Interesting that the title in US was “… and the regeneration of England” - less wistful

Thanks to @FaberBooks for sending me this beauty I’m a little obsessed by the 1930s gang that ran that show

Agree very funny from @arusbridger - there will be a lot of pricking neo-pomposity required in next 4 years HT @JackMartin__

Twitter can still be great. Example #1: this fantastic 🧵on the #Supacat

I wrote about a book I call, The Man Without Philosophy. You know it by a different name. unherd.com/2024/12/the-to…

Ofwat today unveiled the biggest water price rises since privatisation, when bills rose to fix an underfunded system and meet new enviro standards. So why do we face another crash price-rise three decades later? In this @Telegraph piece, I explain why. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/0…

Seriously good magazine with the added benefit of not taking itself seriously - best value subscription out there - you will not regret.
