I've been having a play about with the #awesome first images from @NASAWebb & @ESA_Webb (I might get these printed on a t-shirt). Too see the images in more detail head to nasa.gov/webbfirstimages #JWST #Webb #Space #Astronomy

@ZiomkowskiChris @ByrdBot @DinaH41 @Microinteracti1 You sound adms deranged as he is 🤣🤣🤣

@ByrdBot @DinaH41 @Microinteracti1 It's a psyop run by military intelligence. They are honoring their oath to the Constitution to protect America from domestic traitors who have sided with the City of London/Globalist criminal syndicate to overthrow the legitimate US government over the last several decades.

I showed a Trump post to my psychologist friend and asked her to do a proper profile. This was, in retrospect, like asking a vet to look at a particularly diseased badger. She put down her coffee, read it twice, and said: “Right. Where do you want me to start?” The all-caps, she explained, isn’t emphasis. It’s dysregulation. A regulated adult uses punctuation to signal importance. Trump uses volume, because volume is what worked in the room he grew up in. Fred Trump’s household rewarded dominance and punished weakness. Donald learned early that the loudest person wins. He never updated that software. He never updates anything. The man is essentially Windows Vista with a spray tan. “NATO HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.” The word absolutely is doing a lot of work there. Psychologists call this black-and-white thinking, a cognitive pattern strongly associated with narcissistic personality structures. The world is either total loyalty or total betrayal. No middle ground. No nuance. No evidence of a functioning cerebral cortex. “MILITARILY DECIMATED.” She paused on this one. Self-glorification dressed as fact, she said. He has no military background, never served, and has a well-documented terror of illness and physical danger. Bone spurs, famously. Four of them. One per deferment. So he compensates verbally, hard and consistently, because words are his only battlefield and even there he fights like a man wearing oven mitts. “THE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO.” The people who most loudly declare their independence, she said, are almost always the most terrified of abandonment. Classic counterdependence. The kid who announces he doesn’t need friends. In the playground. Alone. Eating his lunch next to a bin. The threat with no content, “NEVER FORGET THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME,” she found genuinely fascinating. It has the grammatical structure of consequence without any actual consequence attached. It’s what you say when you want to punish someone but lack both the means and the attention span to follow through. And then the signature. His own name. On his own platform. As if the man might otherwise forget who he is halfway through a sentence, which, to be fair, seems increasingly plausible. She sat back and said: “This is a man who has been pretending to be formidable for so long he can no longer locate the frightened little boy underneath. But he’s still there. He’s always there. TACO is always there. Screaming in capital letters at people who stopped listening years ago.” I paid for the coffee. It was the least I could do. She’s going to need therapy after this.

@WG_RumblePants I'd actually love to see what Shaun Edwards would do with the team 🤣🤣

@Glazgow That’s a bloody good one.

You have been put in charge of selecting the new ECB leadership team! Congratulations! The minor fly in the ointment is that you can’t pick any current/former cricketers. Who’re you picking for the following roles? ECB Chairman ECB Chief Exec Men’s Director of Cricket Coach

@rural_va_guy @BichaelRender @DouglasFarquhar @Johanne31785773 There are some amazing windfarm - biodiversity projects going on, on and offshore. Once you get past the building phase The Environment at our UK Wind Farms - Vattenfall share.google/BzvINUy77IRwNs… How can windfarms be better for biodiversity? - Inspired share.google/LU8A96wqyfygf4…

@rural_va_guy @BichaelRender @DouglasFarquhar @Johanne31785773 Near me we have one of Europe's largest wind farms, built on a former peat bog. The wildlife sanctuary that has built up round it, and the increased biodiversity, is incredible. Its now huge for visitors, so it can be done sustainably, just isn't always.

Net Zero Lunacy This concrete-filled monstrosity is underneath every wind turbine in our once green and pleasant land !

@RaGOAT6008 @Rajiv1841 He only plays white ball cricket so as long as it doesnt interfere with England games he'll always play. Duckett is an all format player who wants to improve at test level. He was never going ro realistically play IPL just now.

@Rajiv1841 Then What did your sense Tells about Philp Salt 🤔🤔.. He is also an English Player

The day Delhi Capitals signed Ben Duckett, I knew that he will withdraw his name coz there is a long history of English players withdrawing from IPL after getting sold at base price. They play IPL only when they get big bucks, if they are sold at 2 crores then they will take their names back from IPL that too at very last moments & it is a blessing in disguise for DC, he is not IPL level player anyway. Now sign that young guy, Jamie Smith or James Coles for his place as they both are great T20 talents.

@ErikaMorris79 @Rajiv1841 Coleslaw more interested in playing real cricket and developing his skills.

@Rajiv1841 Coles didnt register I dont believe. Bairstow would be a good replacment

@Rajiv1841 English players give the IPL exactly the respect it deserves. They see it as the money making event it is, not a real cricket tournament. Therefore when they want to focus on real cricket they pull out...none of them care about it beyond making a bit of quick cash

@adarshisit English players will always prioritise international cricket, especially test cricket because it is the pinnacle of the game and where players can build a lasting reputation. They see the IPL as nothing more than making a bit of cash to secure themselves financially

I agree, make contracts more bulletproof. I think IPL owners have global claws right now, make the terms especially biting for each one involved, with the Hundred, SA20, future investments for rights etc. This clearly cannot function for such a tournament as it has from England.

@cricketaakash I hope so, please leave our young players alone to play real cricket 🙏🙏

Ben Duckett pulls out. Just like Brook. IPL teams might start cancelling ‘young’ English players in the future. Perhaps, an opportunity for #DC to make a slight pivot. How about a backup overseas spinner instead? Mujeeb. Keshav. Or someone else!!! They already have so many openers to choose from. #IPL

@sarkarstix What a shame, luckily it doesn't really matter as the IPL is only a wee franchise hit and giggle league and no one outside of India will care at all. As for Duckett, great to see he's prioritising his international career over making a quick buck playing meaningless cricket

Ben Duckett’s last-minute withdrawal from the IPL is not just a “difficult personal decision,” it’s a serious breach of professional commitment that undermines the very structure of franchise cricket. When a player enters the IPL auction and is picked by a franchise like Delhi Capitals, it sets off months of planning, strategy, and resource allocation. Pulling out at the eleventh hour disrupts team balance, forces last-minute scrambling, and disrespects both the franchise and its fanbase. Yes, international cricket is important but that cannot become a convenient excuse to walk away from signed contracts whenever it suits individual priorities. If players are allowed to opt in and out of the IPL at will, it sets a dangerous precedent that weakens the league’s credibility and operational integrity. The IPL and BCCI must take a firm, uncompromising stance here. This isn’t just about one player, it’s about protecting the sanctity of the tournament. A strong deterrent is essential: a multi-year ban from the IPL, and serious consideration of restricting participation in bilateral series involving India, must be on the table. Professional sport runs on accountability. You cannot enjoy the benefits of the IPL ecosystem and then abandon your obligations without facing consequences. If the league wants to maintain its global stature, such actions cannot go unpunished.

Seen some online weather headlines that seem a bit... over the top? Despite some headlines, UK weather isn't always extreme, but we're here to help you sort the fact from the fanciful Here's our guide on getting the most from your forecast👇

@HitmanCricket Yep, so leave them alone to focus on real cricket please.

Alex Hales Jason Roy Harry Brook Ben Duckett It’s always a huge gamble if you’re picking England players in IPL.

@NoContextCounty Tony Piggott has to be up there and I always loved Carl Rackemann, should definitely be in the conversation too.

Who is, in your opinion, the greatest cricketer of all time?

@TheBarmyArmy @willis_macp Excellent news, great decision Ben 👏👏👏 International cricket will always trump pointless T20 leagues. He'll have plenty of time to cash in when his international career is over.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Ben Duckett has informed Delhi Capitals that he will be withdrawing from the Indian Premier League. Via @willis_macp

@GauatmSidh19769 @Tom_Som08 @CricketCentrl 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Tom_Som08 @CricketCentrl England player didn't got the money he want decided to pull out at the last second

🚨 BCCI HUMBLED BEN DUCKETT 🚨 Ben Duckett thought he could just walk away like players do in the PSL. But the BCCI humbled him real quick, reminding him this isn't the PSL—withdrawing here gets you banned. Now, the BCCI has slapped Duckett with a 3-year ban.

@CptMeanster07 @Tom_Som08 @CricketCentrl ...and who cares? IPL is a bloated, over rated league that has to pay ridiculous amounts of money to entice the top overseas players in (just like the 100). Its great to see players prioritising international cricket over making some quick cash in a meaningless tournament.

@Tom_Som08 @CricketCentrl Fair point Tom, but he's virtually kissed his chances of ever playing in the world's greatest league a big fat goodbye. He wont even be considered in other leagues either now that IPL owners have a big say in most of them.

@anubhav2good @CricketCentrl 👏👏👏 Well said. He knows that International cricket will always take precedent over pointless T20 franchise leagues. Great decision from Duckett

@CricketCentrl Actually it makes his decision even more respectable Someone who puts his international career above IPL

@BanaRathore3 @CricketCentrl 🤣🤣🤣

@CricketCentrl Its bcci not a chirkut league like PSL every wrong action has a consequence here..
