@Naughtweek @SandyDarity Many congrats!

Very excited to have this issue out! Co-edited with @SandyDarity who was the intellectual force driving this amazing issue!

My followers are crashing... Because people are leaving this place? Because the algorithm is working against me? Because this site is blocking people from following me (that's already happened)? Please help me reach out to followers I've lost by RTing. And let's try to keep this a positive place to share news, views, science, history, kindness and love.

@_MikeMcCartney_ In The Village.

Guess where I’ve just been?

@samuelnicholls @RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics Bromance!

@RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics I’m in Paris too, fancy some dumplings, a beer and a chat?

Am outside l’Assemblée Nationale this evening - Gendarmes in numbers - nothing serious so far but not a pleasant feeling as the election proceeds - more on @RestIsPolitics Tuesday

@samuelnicholls How did it go? Boycott or Botham?

The summer officially commences with a day of village cricket in the resplendent Regent’s Park. I’ve not batted for more than 10 overs in 5 years, wish me luck.

@davyghost Did you visit the Gilbert and George Museum? I met them when we went just after it opened. Lovely chaps.

@davyghost @petshopboys Sorry to hear about the funeral. Are you ok? Hugs x

@Anne_Allmeling Beautiful!

#Cairo #Egypt right now

How many people have actually voted for Rishi Sunak? Net zero.

@samuelnicholls Tree of the day and cold water swimming? @campbellclaret are you in CA?

1. How I felt 2. How I looked

Continuing my pursuit of @guardian validation by swimming in the Pacific Ocean of Northern California.

@samuelnicholls Eldest son syndrome.

@marcventresca Agreed! Steve was a wonderful and generous scholar, a good friend and, above all, a splendid man.

Simply remembering someone who made my years at Oxford much more stimulating and generous than might have otherwise been the case. So many of us miss your sense of camaraderie and your leadership, Steve. Professor Steve Rayner (1953-2020) oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/professor…

It’s just been pointed out to me that Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman. Brilliant. This is what Twitter is for.

Wild sitting, and other activities the middle classes will put 'wild' in front of buff.ly/3XHoIqa

@johnlennon Lennon’s original hand-written lyrics (in the British Library) say ‘no one I think is in my zone’ crossed out and changed to ‘in my tree’. A more psychedelic image.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER. The second line goes, ‘No one I think is in my tree.’ Well, what I was trying to say in that line is, ‘Nobody seems to be as hip as me, therefore I must be crazy or a genius.’ youtube.com/watch?v=HtUH9z…

@simon_schama Bravo, magister!

Very moved to be honoured today alongside these heroes of science, scholarship and writing - one of the most memorable days of my life

@j0nathanjenkins Agreed. Another awful game to finish the season. Sigh.

Last game. Not sure if glad or sad. Defo relieved.

@StellaMcCartney Very Impressive, Stella. Thank you. Your dad must be proud.

CORONATION: Hope and action. A historic honour to be a voice for Mother Earth at the #CoronationConcert. Thank you for always being a champion for our planet, King Charles... x Stella #StellaMcCartney #Coronation
