@williemossop @metoffice @Specsavers @bbcweather Beautiful in Caithness this morning, but pretty cloudy up in Shetland (which surely is ‘the north’?).

@lyrastarz22 @Rainmaker1973 This is a frogmouth - related to nightjars. Have seen several in Australia, though I think they and relatives are found in other parts of the world. Wonderful creatures!

An extremely warm Atlantic Ocean and La Niña could mean an "extraordinary" hurricane season in 2024, say experts.

@sirhandsome621 @AestheticW0rId @VisionaryVoid @Morbidful Looks like a tawny nurse shark, I’ve seen them in The Kimberley (NW Australia). They are generally very docile and was I fairly close to them without incident. However, I was always respectful and never too close. Wild animals must be respected.

@implausibleblog Outstanding example of the hubris of British exceptionalism.

[Al Mackinnon @PhotoMackinnon]

@BBCkatyaadler He is spot on. It affects (or will affect) all of us. Even those who still have their heads buried in the sand.

[Al Mackinnon @PhotoMackinnon]

@AlexStarling77 No.

@alexhallhall A lengthy thread, but an apparently accurate summation of what’s going on and what got us here. English exceptionalism.

@AndrewPRLevi Deed poll: Russia Brand? 🤔

[Al Mackinnon @PhotoMackinnon]

@relish_hendy @wales_steve Yes: very light for the strength/rigidity, so ideal for something that you carry around with you like a phone (or braces!).

[Al Mackinnon @PhotoMackinnon]

@relish_hendy @wales_steve “Titanium” iPhone 15. In inverted commas as how much of the phone is true titanium and how much is marketing ploy?

[Al Mackinnon @PhotoMackinnon]

@relish_hendy Yes. Because humans seem obsessed with a digi fad and engineered obsolescence. Bendy screens surely won’t last as long as flat screens; manufacturers will have to make more / sell more. Sorry, feeling cynical.
