With my writing, I want everyone to step inside Trishaworld for a vacation and then walk out of the door feeling happy. And then I'm happy.

St Clement's Church has survived for over 500 years, but I wasn't expecting to find one of Britain's rarest Sheela na Gig carvings on its walls.

What's your theory?

@JamesHeartfield What's remarkable is that no one is dying anywhere else in the world, not in Ukraine, not in Sudan, not in Yemen, but only in Gaza.

If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:

The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.

Tonight there will be female prisoners in Scotland sleeping (or struggling to sleep) and showering (often with just curtains) with male prisoners after @JohnSwinney has been told it is unlawful because he wants to take his time to think about whether to follow the law

Shameful!

Zelensky tells the Belarusian dictator that he has one week to remove the missile guidance systems that he allows Russia to use for targeting Ukrainian cities or "we will remove them ourselves".

One man swore his door would never shut on a homeless child again. 🇬🇧

Nearly 60,000 children came through it.

One winter night in Victorian London, a homeless boy led a young medical student up onto the rooftops, to where the city's lost children slept in the freezing dark. The student counted 11.

He was Thomas Barnardo, a Dublin-born student bound for missionary work in China. China never got him. The East End did. He left his training behind, because the children could not wait.

In 1870 he opened a home for destitute boys at Stepney Causeway and taught them a trade. Then a boy called Carrots was turned away one night because the home was full. 2 days later he was found dead, of cold and hunger. Barnardo swore it would never happen again. A sign went up: no destitute child ever refused admission. The door stayed open, lamp lit, all night, every night, for the rest of his life.

By his death in 1905, nearly 60,000 children had been taken in.

We tell him whole. His staged fundraising photographs and his child-emigration schemes are criticised today, and fairly, and we do not hide it. But the door he kept open took in tens of thousands of children who had no one, and the charity that carries his name still works across Britain.

Britain is built by people who will not look away. We put the names back, free, for anyone who wants them.

In Germany, select supermarkets have introduced a thoughtful innovation for dog owners: pet parking pads.

These are modern, temperature-controlled and ventilated kennels installed near store entrances, allowing dogs to rest safely and comfortably while their owners shop inside. Developed by companies like DogSpot, the pods are designed to be secure, hygienic, and low-stress for pets. Owners can lock and unlock them conveniently via a smartphone app or a store-issued code.

The system helps prevent common risks such as dogs being tied up outside in bad weather or left in hot cars. The kennels maintain a pleasant climate year-round and feature transparent panels so dogs can see their surroundings, helping to reduce anxiety.

Just your regular reminder that Tolkien was not just a Professor or writer but a skilled artist when it came to painting and illustrating. He created beautiful things.

“Trans women cannot be held in female prisons, court rules” . Males who identify as something other than a man are still, & will always be, male. It is down to men to make safe space for them in sport, bathrooms, changing rooms as well as prisons. https://t.co/4aWL4S7Sh0

Wild elephant mothers don't raise calves alone. Nannies do half the work – older females who walk close to the newborn, step in when the calf wobbles, keep watch while the mother feeds, take over the standing-guard shift when she needs to rest. Among elephants, this role is called allomothering. It's how calves survive.

Melia and Kitirua have been close since their Nursery days, and when Melia chose to bring her new daughter, Moon, home, Kitirua was waiting to help.

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:
