European Athletics Championships Birmingham 2026, you'd think @BBC would cover it all, right? Wrong, from 10pm it's over. That + endless commentary and interviews instead of showing us the actual sports.

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

My heart goes also to the wildlife at Wimbledon Park, about which @Merton_Council clearly doesn’t care.

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

Thank you @Merton_Council for terrifying my epileptic cat, who already had a seizure this week following fireworks by civilians, with even more fireworks tonight. It certainly felt like it would never end.

@RSPCA_official

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

Just looked at their program - more to come at 8:30pm

My cat has gone to sleep now. May she recover before the next bout of fireworks. Not even music muffles the bangs

[Future for Elephants @ElephantsFuture]

#Zimbabwe culling 50 #elephants in Save Valley C. They are scentient, reminiscent, social creatures that mourn their dead. When you kill an elephant, a matriarch, you break a family structure. You traumatise an entire generation. Arguing w "Carrying capacities" is wrong!

@Ryanair flight FR1275, we’ve been waiting ages to know where is our plane going to be diverted to, because it can’t land in Porto. There’s even a baby who can’t be older than a month on this plane. How much longer do we have to wait? Couldn’t we have been told before boarding?

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

Well done Paul William Davies and team. 👏

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

‘The Residence’ being dedicated to the amazing Andre Braugher because he was supposed to play AB Wynter, before his very premature passing…and his good friend and phenomenal actor Giancarlo Esposito stepping up to take the role and non-surprisingly being absolutely great at it…

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

That beautiful final episode where Cordelia Cupp’s speech seems like an eulogy to Andre…

It’s all just really beautiful.

Como assim, afasta responsabilidade? Um doente está internado num local onde é suporto estar seguro e protegido, com os seus direitos humanos salvaguardados.

Não podem simplesmente arquivar o caso. Exige-se mais esclarecimentos sobre como foi possível isto acontecer.

Hospital de Braga afasta responsabilidade na agressão a doente que morreu https://t.co/2FkQVBFNMG

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

@Waltert04090788 @ITV I agree. And pretty funny too! That dry sense of humour and candidness that is actually really refreshing. Now it’s just very dull

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

@ITV boooo, boring! Bring Jason Isaacs back!

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

Oh meu Porto…

Obrigada André Villas-Boas e equipa, finalmente há transparência.

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

Very sad. No one should have to feel unsafe at work. My heart goes to this nurse and her family.

@BazaritoDorito @Wellies69200053 @PolitlcsUK Yeah I can understand why you chose to use your car instead of the train to commute to work.

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

@Wellies69200053 @BazaritoDorito @PolitlcsUK Yeah, you do need a car in that case! Unfortunately public transport is not always the practical answer. I am lucky to have tons of options where I live and work but it’s not like that everywhere.

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

@BazaritoDorito @Wellies69200053 @PolitlcsUK Wow, that’s crazy!

Just out of curiosity, how much does a person spend on average in insurance and maintenance?

[Jo @JojoInWonder]

@theRCN Congratulations to everyone! Exciting times for RCN 👏

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

A reminder that the clocks go back in the UK tonight. Enjoy your extra hour in bed, unless you live with a cat in which case breakfast will be expected an hour earlier and refusal to comply will result in loud miaowing.
