@mubiuk Yup, last night's "Leaves in 11 days" banner pushed me over the edge. What a treat (somehow never seen it before).

Entirely too much movement at breakfast.
Watch PHANTOM THREAD before it leaves in 10 days.

@thomasforth Seems that is happening in Birmingham too: our city centre road has constantly ticketed cars despite really clear signage, I asked the Civil Enforcement Officers why and they said that’s exactly what people are doing: choosing to get the fine since it’s cheaper than the car park
English
Fantastic story on car parking and economics this. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

#Birmingham UK, it's #blossom #photography time in Oozells Square @Brindleyplace!

@Feltip1982 So little green space for us living in the city centre: Pigeon Park, St Paul’s JQ, Peace Park, Sunset Park: none great. Though I walked ~50min to the wonderful Cannon Hill Park twice last year!

Yesterdays Guardian on urban residents and access to green space in walking distance.

@OldStationSt Couple of days ago, walking back from the markets, met a bunch of very confused lads outside The Crown incredulous that it wasn't a functioning pub: all they wanted was to walk out of the station and get a pint! Told them the owners don't care and directed them elsewhere.

Two years ago today the predatory developer Glenbrook Property closed what was the UK’s oldest working cinema. Birmingham’s 116yr old The Electric.
Can anyone running Birmingham honestly look themselves in the mirror and say they’ve done enough to protect Brum and Brummies here?

@x_brum First signs of that elusive spring on our balcony today: hawthorn buds opening! #UrbanForest

@ReissOmari I swear half the time it *does* say something very close to what you intended, you press send and then mere nano seconds before it detects your finger it "helpfully" transmogrifies it into something it thinks you really meant, at which point its too late. Grr.

@x_brum @thecubebham @Daniel_Sturley @BirminghamWeAre @BuildsWeAre @BhamCityCouncil @ParadiseBham @Brindleyplace @visit_bham @LibraryofBham @WMGrowth Nooooo! Yesterday – on a finally somewhat sunny day – I noticed the sun just about transited over the top of its current height, ending the 4 months of the year where it shades are flat across the middle of the day. :-)

@thecubebham @Daniel_Sturley @BirminghamWeAre @BuildsWeAre @BhamCityCouncil @ParadiseBham @Brindleyplace @visit_bham @LibraryofBham @WMGrowth Poor little Cube, its slowly disappearing from our skyline in many different angles. You will soon need a 30 storey extension 🤣🤣🤣

@ichoosemag ...and the website on its hoardings has been various stages of dead for the past year too :-( drumbirmingham.com

Tomorrow is your last chance to see the RBSA Friends Exhibition 2026, with the exhibition closing at 5.00pm.
You can pick up a copy of the exhibition catalogue from our Gallery shop which features every work in the show.
Don't miss your last chance to see the exhibition!

@lammas_leaves Something from here perhaps (founded by maths/nerdy YouTubers Steve Mould and Matt Parker) mathsgear.co.uk

I have a young friend (16 years) who has just done brilliantly in a Maths test. As in 'off the scale' good.
What would be a good celebration gift that a maths nerd would love? Not food related, please.

@ReissOmari Had a closer look on StreeView, and I'd imagine this is someone shooting off the A38 then swerving into the building to avoid hitting the tail end of the queue for the pagoda roundabout. Bonkers.
English
@LATrash @BiteYourBrum Had a closer look: this is kindof the _next_ slip road leading up past the Alex and towards the roundabout (not the main drag heading underneath). Both are still 30mph though. Hmm.
English
@BiteYourBrum Nah only the slip road. The main part is still open xx
English
@ReissOmari I think they’re delaying on purpose - they want traffic out of Brum city centre. Remember there considering closing the Queensways too.
English
@Omars_version That's one of the best scenes of all the series. ❤️
English
I really REALLY don’t get the S2 hate when we got scenes like that
English
@ReissOmari Wow I had no idea the one just off Victoria Square was closing. I thought the TGJones one was additional (we loved that it was open on a Sunday too). Blimey, that's gonna be a nightmare.
English
@ReissOmari Really boring. And not a balcony in sight (as usual for these new builds) – my personal bugbear (so glad our 2003-build building has balconies).
English
I’d actually prefer them to landbank the site than build this, so uninspiring.

Thanks to @POTUS’ leadership, the exploration of Mars is no longer a distant hope, it’s a national objective.
One year into his second term, President Trump’s national space policy has provided a clear vision for American leadership in space, and has sharpened our focus on the science, technology, and capabilities needed to reach the Red Planet, like nuclear propulsion and surface power. With that direction, NASA teams are moving with purpose to turn today’s innovation into tomorrow’s next giant leap.

@Chucho_Q Last August a friend and I rendezvoused in Oxford to catch one of the few preview screenings in the UK of "Young Hearts": me an an hour by train from one direction, him 2 hours by car from another.

No mamen, incluso sin ir a “otra ciudad”, soy capaz de trasladarme a más de hora y media de mi casa para ver películas en la Cineteca.
Se nota que al señor no le gusta el cine.

Corría el año 2012, era Navidad y yo no había podido ir a ver Looper, que se había estrenado unos meses antes. Estaba con mi familia en Ciudad Mendoza, donde no hay cine, así que tomé un taxi a Orizaba para poder verla.
Los milmillonarios nunca van a entender la puta vibra.

@thomasforth We holidayed in Stuttgart in 2012 just as the project – and protests – were starting, and have been eagerly following along on YouTube since. Keen to go back to see it once it’s finally finished.
