Renee Nicole Good's murder by an ICE agent is shocking enough. The White House's outright lies in the face of multiple layers of evidence is shocking even for this corrupt admin. Feels like an inflection point.

Would like to say never in doubt, but scoring four tries in 20 minutes and then having to score the winning one in the 79th is one hell of a roller coaster ride from Bath. #BathRugby #Rugby

Final scores on the doors for UK parkrun cancellations: 309, with 226 citing 'weather' as the cause'. Some of the 'course unsafe or blocked' entries may also have been referencing ice and snow too. #parkrun

06.30 and we have 181 #parkrun cancellations - including ours at Crawfordsburn - in the UK already. Respect to all those who went out late or early to check their courses. Would imagine the number will tick up around dawn.

Broke our course record with today's New Year's Day #parkrun, with 282 runners braving the forested hills and windswept beaches at Crawfordsburn. As I said to them from my marshalling point near the top of the hill, 2026 is all downhill from here...

Last of the Christmas games haul to make it to the table. I suspect Middle Earth may not survive, at least this time round. #boardgames
