The train has now ground to a halt before Canterbury so you're lucky!

Was JUST in the same train carriage as you. It's still a little thrilling to see a mutual irl!

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

I've also discovered that on the template, some of the fields we're asked to complete are set to white text on a white background. Why? Why?

A customer feedback form with a Likert scale running from 1 to 5 where 1 is good and 5 is bad

Why would you do it this way around? Why?

I AM GOING TO MARGATE TODAY

I would love to do this v much (but I'm not sure this is showgirl enough for that)

The perils of letting AI plan your next trip An imagined town in Peru, an Eiffel tower in Beijing: travellers are increasingly using tools like ChatGPT for itinerary ideas – and being sent to destinations that don't exist.

Well done

Willy Fogg and Littlest Hobo are what I sing on pretty much a daily basis but there is nothing, nothing, that hits me harder in the madeleines than Grandstand

Let's go to Cahoots!

I'm watching True Haunting, and it's quite good and scary. It's no Ghostwatch of course, but it's pretty okay

I want to buy this dress on Vinted but I fear I have nowhere to wear it

Three Ring Circus by Erasure, but only because I bought it on cassette and it was a long album and the tape would go baggy and it was a pain

😔 I really liked it. I love You Can Have It All

A post so hedgy that a blackbird nested in it

I don't like it when racehorses have names like they've been invented for an ITV drama. Like, Ruby's Dream or Fancy Dan. I like it when they're called something inexplicable like Envopak Token or River Mandate. Martin Clunes isn't putting a fiver on those

My suggestion for best ever racehorse name is...

Why are men like this?

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.
