Breathless messenger has arrived: what is in his note? Dog emerges from under table to hear the news. A little drama from 1674 by Jan Verkolje, born OTD in 1650.

in our experience, a dog who is `a mix of things' is the best.

Adam hills, josh widdicome and Alex Brooker. Jason manford, Lou Sanders, Bella hull and Zack Polanski. The last leg.

Imagine your party has won a historic byelection.

You've had election day, a loads of interviews, held a press conference with your new MP and welcomed lots of new members.

Sleep? Nah. It's time for The Last Leg!

A vintage 1886 black and white photograph from the New York State Archives showing the massive Aztec Sun Stone mounted on the exterior wall of the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral. The stone, carved in intricate basalt detail, stands as a testament to Mexican history and endurance despite centuries of burial and damage.

Buried prone in 1550 by Catholic Church to erase memory, the #Aztec #SunStone survived 200 years underground & later, bullet strikes from USA soldiers using it as target practice.

This 1886 #Photography shows it on the Cathedral wall before its final home. #Resilience that refused to be forgotten.

Funny how @lucympowell.bsky.social never allows any comments or replies. She is SO negative. Apparently the reason to vote Labour is to stop reform. I vote Green because of their brilliant policies, succinctly and intelligently put forward.

Why if it isn't Tommy Robinson's son bragging about how he flie on private jets. Man of the people my arse.

Oddly enough this was a few weeks before "Orrr Tommeh" was begging his followers for cash after he had been "forced to flee the UK"

Look Iโ€™ve been a critic of Zack Polanski but the treatment of him after his historic win was absolutely disgraceful by the BBC.

It really was obvious to all those watching and listening that the BBC interviewers have an agenda. Itโ€™s appears to be a Daily Mail and X agenda.

Just so obvious now.

A Glass Octopus you say? Indeed so. They occupy deep waters and are rarely seen, but even in shallow waters they're hard to see. And they like sex. Males have a particular arm that will actually detach to get the job done. That's what you call determination!

Have you been watching Dirty Business on Channel 4? Sensational stuff. I hope there will be repercussions and serious action taken, including the abolitioon of the Environment Agency and its replacement by a fully-funded department including scientists and investigators with real legal powers.

A female MP at that.
Violence against women and girls is on the rise yet they blame immigrants for that.
Has Farage, Yusuf and co condemned this yet?

To echo the sentiments of G.K. Chesterton, fairy tales do not tell children that monsters exist โ€” because they know that already. But rather more importantly, fairy tales tell them (and us) that the monster can be killed. And such stories must never ever go out of fashion.

RT if the USA should take Tommy Robinson.

He is a violent criminal scumbag we don't want him and the USA seems to be collecting people like that.

Books Good Enough for You: The Storied Life of Ursula Nordstrom, Editor of Extraordinary Children's Books A celebration of the life and work of Ursula Norstromโ€”the groundbreaking editor of classic childrenโ€™s books like Charlotteโ€™s Web and Where the Wild Things Areโ€”and a powerful defense of a childโ€™s right to read Legendary Harper & Row childrenโ€™s book editor Ursula Nordstrom was a trailblazer. Her books were honest, smart, emotional, and firsts of their kind. Andโ€”perhaps because they challenged the status quoโ€”they were often censored or banned. But Nordstrom always fought back.Books Good Enough for You follows Nordstrom from childhood through her extraordinary career as book editor, literary revolutionary, and advocate. Full of anecdotes about some of Nordstromโ€™s most famous collaborators, like Maurice Sendak, Margaret Wise Brown, and E. B. White, this biography is a true celebration of collaboration and friendship. Many of Nordstromโ€™s booksโ€”from to Where the Wild Things Are to Charlotteโ€™s Webโ€”are now considered classics, but back in her day, these stories faced fierce opposition from those who deemed them inappropriate for children. In the face of this criticism, Nordstrom pushed back, building up her authors and proudly defending young readersโ€™ access to literature that reflected their worlds. Filled with quotes from her eloquent, empathetic, and often sharply humorous editorial letters, Books Good Enough for You is a timely reminder that children deserve fresh, groundbreaking, and deeply human stories.
