By coincidence, I'm marking #InternationalCorgiDay with a play @theLBT about the #QueenMother and her long-time servant, #BackstairsBilly, featuring a number of #Corgi incidents... #Corgi #CorgiDay

@yuanyi_z All the sorts of questions that might have kept Henry VIII up at night.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

There is so much to read. There’s so much I want to learn about politics and anthropology and folklore and herbalism and medieval history and the natural world. I could spend my life reading & never come to the end of learning. How is it that some people don’t read at all?

[Richard T. Watson @RichardTWatson]

@SketchesbyBoze I think people misunderstand what a Classical ‘hero’ was about; they wanted a legacy and a legend, they weren’t altruistic like more modern heroes, they weren’t saving lives. Odysseus is a terrible leader if you want to get home safe!

The Longest Yarn 2 exhibition at @LichfieldCath - a history of Britain in WW2 in 80 knitted scenes - is charming and surprisingly moving in parts. Also ft. @CovCathedral!

Horrible day here in Derbyshire, should had stayed in rainy Yorkshire! #StauntonHarold

[Electoral Commission @ElectoralCommUK]

Elections are taking place this Thursday 7 May in Wales, Scotland and parts of England including all London boroughs.

Here’s what you need to know. 👇

@allysoncwhite @SketchesbyBoze Love the use of the phrase ‘off hand’ here. Excellent punning.

With local #elections looming in the UK, what better time to relaunch my account of the vote-fest that was 2024? #Democracy #Election2024 https://t.co/UYimRR7NyD

[Hudds Thesps @HuddThesps]

Why do we keep making robots do tasks that humans enjoy? I don’t want a robot that can beat me at table tennis: I want one that’ll do the dishes, mow the lawn, and get a duster up into those difficult-to-reach corners. https://t.co/KOoD8sle6P

If you enjoyed #Hungary's #election last weekend, brace yourself for another east European contest! #Bulgaria has yet another election tomorrow – they had 2 in 2024, and you can catch up on those here: https://t.co/H1B61UQp2F #Election2024 #ElectionsHistory

“This situation will never happen again” also sounds like something one might say (the morning after) six hours of straight drinking vodka.

I write more lucid texts after six hours of straight drinking vodka.

@willmenaker @_y_e_e_h_a_w_ I didn't, but now will for hours, thanks!

[Richard T. Watson @RichardTWatson]

@willmenaker We're all pretty OK with Disney's Robin Hood being a human-sized fox, with human-size food, clothes and weapons...right?

I hate to jump on a bandwagon, but $12 a year isn't cost-effective for me, so I'm leaving #Draft2Digital too (the process, btw, seems to be using the Contact Form's Account Closure Request - per the ToS, you don't even need a reason). Find my books on Amazon, I guess! #amwriting
