Sanity is all a matter of perspective.

It's not often I'm seated next to a literary genius & one of my all-time favorite authors: @StephenKing.

It took every ounce of discipline I possess to avoid freaking out & exposing myself as the weak-kneed, slavish fan-boy I truly am. 🤪

The only thing better than @MarkHamill being in town would be if he appeared @C4ComicCon, schedule permitting, of course. We love to see him. https://t.co/zeH9q2A07l

Thank you so much for this. I will treasure it forever! #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Happy New Year! All of us at Westminster Abbey wish you a very happy and peaceful 2024.

The Ukrainian New Year is not only a time for greetings, but also for action.

Not only for wishes, but also for doing everything possible to make them come true.

We, the Ukrainians, understand better than anybody else that a better future does not come by itself, but only because we defend each of our tomorrows.

Our New Year will be what we make it.

The New Year's miracle, but also the year-round miracle, is all of you: dedicated, responsible, caring, and effective.

Olena @ZelenskaUA and I wish the people who defend a free and secure future life and vigour, not only for themselves, but for the whole world.

Dear followers! Thank you so much for your company in 2023. I'm looking forward to sharing lots more history fun with you from tomorrow in a new year (and for me, a whole new decade)🤗

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

What do The Tell Tale Heart and Gone Girl have in common? They've both been challenged or banned, according to @ALALibrary. This week, MASTERPIECE Mystery! is honoring #BannedBooksWeek by sharing titles we're celebrating having the freedom to read! https://t.co/H8aFFvNGTH

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Happy anniversary, sweetheart! @MichelleObama, you're brilliant, kind, funny, and beautiful—and I'm lucky to call you mine.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

England and Wales abolished 'blasphemy' as a crime in 2008, Scotland in 2021, and Northern Ireland still has a blasphemy law. @NIhumanists are campaigning to repeal it. These laws are never justified, and must end. @EndBlasphemyLaw #InternationalBlasphemyRightsDay

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Today, on #BlasphemyDay, we stand in solidarity with the victims of brutally oppressive blasphemy laws worldwide. @EndBlasphemyLaw @andrewcopson #InternationalBlasphemyRightsDay

[Governor General of Canada @GGCanada]

“On this day and every day, let us commit to action that will further our collective journey of reconciliation.”

Mark Strong is a brilliant actor, who often portrays villains in movies, but is an absolute do-gooder in real life. Here’s 5 interesting facts about #UNITED24’s new ambassador.

I like not only the three jaunty skulls in the middle, but also the two rather more menacing ones on either side of the pediment. Passed St Olave's near the @TowerOfLondon twice this week, going to get my watch mended in Leadenhall Market (which actually sounds rather Pepysy.)
