Very clever @brian_bilston poem. Most people outside the UK (and a fair few inside it) will probably not get this at all.
Wikipedia is unironically one of the most impressive feats of human civilization, I’m not even being hyperbolic

Here’s the thing: knowing that aurora are produced by the solar wind being channelled by the Earth’s magnetic field and crashing into the atmosphere doesn’t make the phenomenon any less beautiful. Quite the opposite, in fact.

A cheese sandwich is the most basic of lunches, but really does anything beat fresh bread and fancy cheese? Like vanilla flavour, it's a world away from being dull once you stop to think about how wonderful it is. Find beauty in the everyday. (And pay for good food if you can)
OS Data Scientist, Tom Peterken maps the longest line of sight ever photographed at 483.5km across northern Argentina for Day 2 of #30DayMapChallenge - Lines.

We often think of the longest rivers, but what about the largest river networks by the length of all connected rivers? These graphics were fun to put together using @networkx_team, graphframes, @databricks, @matplotlib, and of course some lovely OS data.

I think swifts are some of the most astonishing birds and I could talk for hours about them. Their population is now less than half of what it was when I was born. Biodiversity collapse is accelerating and is even scarier than climate change. theguardian.com/environment/20…
I'm playing in a concert this evening, what a novelty! Just four days short of being two years since my last concert. As a trombonist though, I'm hanging around in the foyer for three quarters of the performance.
In Government @Official_MRLP will turn the House of Commons into a Hall of Mirrors so MPs can reflect on their actions #Manicfesto

I had my last post-work walk in daylight of the year today. Please can we stop changing the clocks? Or if we have to change them, can we change them the other way?
Yesterday it was images of raw sewage pouring into our shores. Today, it’s a tax cut for domestic flights. #COP26 getting off to a flying start.
