“Service… hope… change.” Yes! The grownups are back in charge. 🎉

@Thrilltography @THORPEPARK Great pic but that’s probably because there’s no pesky people ruining the shot coz it’s CLOSED on this perfect, sunny day . Disappointing @THORPEPARK !

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

@Thorpepark Why oh why is Amity Beach closed on such a perfect day? Such a waste!

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

You’ve got to laugh!

Such important work - and so obvious when you think about it: until we tackle the sources of toxic masculinity, we’ll only ever be treating the symptoms (women & children’s lives devastated) not finding a cure. https://t.co/b0buT6HFRA

A delightful read about the gloriously obsolete, yet still endlessly alluring, phone box. The last phone boxes: broken glass, cider cans and – amazingly – a dial tone | Society | The Guardian https://t.co/h0rrBSwRGb

Shell wants the UK to approve its Jackdaw gas field🛢️

But approving Jackdaw won't lower our energy bills. It'll just make Shell millions 💷

We need real solutions to the energy & climate crisis, not more gas fields.

📢Time for @BorisJohnson to #StopJackdaw!

I couldn’t be more overjoyed about this. Something good happening in the world - hurrah!

Iiiiiit’s Ibsen - a not often-performed one at that. Let’s see what you got, Henrik! https://t.co/AxbBDGwV5z

Just putting this out there as a heartening news story that isn’t about Partygate, Putin, price rises or the pandemic - hurrah! Eight-year-old's handwritten novel takes Idaho town by storm - BBC News https://t.co/1NjK9lByLm

What to make of #TheGlow @royalcourt? Uneven and baffling, yes, but there’s beauty and humanity too - especially in the 2nd half. Can’t help feeling Russell T Davies would’ve made a better job of it…

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @SajidJavid - when will you give NHS staff the pay rise they deserve? #WhyAreWeWaiting

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

Unbelievable - parental leave is not a “nice to have”; it’s essential for equality & democracy. @ipsaUK pls reconsider your decision not to give @stellacreasy locum cover. Or do we really want to send girls the message politics isn’t for them? https://t.co/cHITWWdSP4 @UKChange

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

I fully understand you want to be online only as much as poss @bankwithsmile but your Live Chat links don’t work (on phone/laptop) & secure messages on mobile keep coming up with this stupendously unhelpful message: Sorry, there were some errors. I hear @StarlingBank is good…

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

Love this!! Yes, that's exactly the point, confirms childless woman accused of being selfish https://t.co/L02xGVpnAX

@hylomorphism Same. It’s super-annoying

[Anna Thomson @fizzbuzzboink]

Powerful stuff about the narratives all human beans - and, yes, journos like me - impose on the messiness of real life. The last in the series is particularly gripping.... The Corrections - The Carbonara Case - BBC Sounds https://t.co/ofeayodbKp
