    What could be more flattering than having a parasitic wasp named after you? https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/may/07/tiny-parasitic-wasp-named-after-david-attenborough-100th-birthday-attenboroughnculus-tau #davidattenborough #100thbirthday

    Good to see Hackney council finally seeing sense on #motorcycle #parking charges, albeit after being forced to. https://www.visordown.com/news/london-council-backs-down-after-years-opposition-motorcycle-parking-plans

    I hope there&amp;#39;s a big turnout. Remember the Anti Nazi League? This is the reprise. But the Far Right have a lot more fellow travellers now. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/27/billy-bragg-together-alliance-london-march-against-far-right #farright #protest #march

    If YouGov can conduct a survey as flawed as this, can we trust any of its work? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/yougov-withdraws-survey-church-attendance-christianity-young-people-england-wales #surveys #samplebias

    @selfe.bsky.social The logic is as it ever was. If you&#39;re going to follow the rules, why not participate in making them?

    This is quite a story. It&#39;s certainly add some spice to the long jump competition at the World Indoor Athletics Championships this week. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar/19/meth-addict-luvo-manyonga-athletics #drugs #sport #Athletics

    Another good result in the #Army #orienteering, this time at Hankley North. 28th /52, short green. I think my navigation&amp;#39;s become quite reliable, but further improvement will require speeding up my decision making. Not sure how best to do that. Any advice?

    BBC shows first threequarters of men&#39;s 50km cross-country skiing, the cuts off coverage. WTF? #BBCfail #WinterOlympics

    Good result, for me, in the #Army #orienteering event yesterday, at Congo Stream and Mytchett. 45th out of 63 qualifying finishers (ie not DNF or DSQ)., short green course. Happy because I&#39;m usually close to last. Plus I ran off the map last time and lost 20 mins incompetently relocating. I&#39;m not military, btw: civilians can enter.
