Trump wants Panama back? Any day now Putin will reclaim Alaska, sold by Russia’s czar at a knockdown price after the Crimean war. No doubt China’s Xi has told him that was an “unfair” deal, like when China had to sell Hong Kong. We know how that ended. https://t.co/m5R9hxYTfw

@BBCArchive Why aren’t you on BlueSky? Your name is being taken in vain over there… just try searching it!!

I had hoped Starmer would talk about healing divisions, mending broken services and restoring nature. Instead we got a hard hats man of the people act and contempt for environmental campaigners. Can he change? @Kier_Starmer @SteveReedMP

Glad to report that The Guardian has done no sophisticated tracking of what I’ve been reading over the last few days!

Here’s why TV history research is so rewarding! Five years after the @adaptTV project wrapped, it’s still being discovered. Thanks to @ERC_Research @RoyalHolloway @RhulMediaArts @NickXHall @LearnonScreen

[Michael Loda @MichaelLoda]

@adaptTV @LearnonScreen @ProfJohnEllis @NickXHall @RhulMediaArts I just watched a bunch of these videos - this is the most fascinating thing I've seen in a while! Watching these old folks working like they used to is amazing. Thank you all so much for doing this, for preserving history.

[John Ellis @ProfJohnEllis]

@LeeMordechai Thank you for your courage. Netanyahu and his crew have led Israel down a spiral of violence from which no good can come. Their supporters will use the vilest of insults to shout you down. The majority of the world hopes for peace and reconciliation. These hopes are your strength

@bt_uk Hi I think you are missing the point here.
You did not tell me that you were not going to keep the appointment.
Why do you send a blizzard of messages before the day but totally fail to communicate on the day itself? I have another appointment. I hope it will be handled better

[John Ellis @ProfJohnEllis]

Hello @bt_uk does this message really mean ‘we can’t be bothered’? You sent 6 texts, 3 emails and a robot voice call from a number that’s unavailable to make sure I’d be in, but NOTHING to tell me you weren’t coming. I had to trace this on your website. So much for communication!

We're thrilled to reveal the 'Sirens of Sewage' a new art installation in Whitstable by the amazing @JasondeCairesT.

It celebrates the national network of volunteers fighting for our water, including two members of @SOSWhitstable, Robin and Rose ✊
