I hadn’t seen this before now and I am completely blown away. Jesse Buckley singing Sinead O’Connor’s Troy. Kindred spirits. Connected to the same well, the same source. Unbelievable performance.
Everyone needs to see this.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US.
⚽️🏆

America is clearly not safe to travel to.
🇺🇸 ❌

Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.
🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸

Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.

Congratulations to Greenland’s new government and Premier-elect Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

You deserve partners who respect you and treat you as equals.

And the European Union is proud to be such a partner for you.

For today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight we welcome Willow Warblers!

Migrating here from southern Africa these small yellow-green songbirds look remarkably similar to Chiffchaffs.

Identify them by listening for their melodious, warbling song. 🎵

The Ardagh Chalice • Limerick

In September 1868, a man was digging potatoes alongside the bank of an old ringfort, close to the village of Ardagh. As he did so, he uncovered one of the greatest treasures of Ireland: The Ardagh Chalice.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.
