Where tough terrain meets rough land, the unlikely result isn’t loud. It’s quiet, clean, and unstoppable.

At this year’s #RhinoCharge25, the #EVExplorers dared to imagine otherwise. We support them not just to race, but to reimagine movement.

#PopeFrancis lived love as a verb and caring as action. A voice for Gaza & those who most needed a voice. A steward for the planet.

“When I was weary, you helped me find rest,” … he was the Good Samaritan in Rome. A shepherd who walked the talk. May he Rest in Peace 🕊️

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Word of the day is one I mention often. To have the ‘mubble-fubbles’, in the 16th century, was to experience a fit of despondency or low spirits - another name for the Sunday blues.
