"A #digitalplatform rooted in #Welsh values is aiming to reshape how people in Wales connect online, as concerns continue to grow over the power and ethics of global social media companies.

Jaz-Michael King @jaz, Director at #TŵtCymru, said the campaign reflects a broader turning point in how people engage online.

“We are at a moment where the old platforms are no longer delivering safe or joyful spaces for community connection. By focusing on the ['Little Things’], we’re showing that #digitalsovereignty isn’t just about technology. It’s about #kindness, #hospitality and taking #responsibility for our shared #digitalspaces.”"

More than two million bus journeys have been made by young people across Wales since the #Welsh #Government launched its £1 fare scheme in September 2025. The scheme, running until August 2026, offers single fares for £1 and day tickets for £3 to passengers aged 5–21 on participating services. #Transport Secretary Ken Skates said it was encouraging to see young people benefiting, particularly in rural areas where travel costs can be a barrier. He added that the investment is making travel more #accessible and affordable. Young people have also praised the initiative, saying it has helped them reach college, work and social activities. Most Welsh bus operators are taking part, though premium night #buses, sightseeing and long-distance coach services such as National Express and Megabus are excluded. Details and operator updates are available on the Transport for #Wales website.

The Lion & the Unicorn: how Ralph Steadman blew up John Tenniel's art across the "Alice" books.

Continuing on from THIS introduction, here’s another case of Steadman taking Tenniel’s art to the cleaners, so to speak. We have some rather exquisite line-work, combined with the usual touches of vulgarity and madness, altho rather subtley done this time. The white king’s face gives it away, though.

Original art:

Actually quite clever, as the figures represented diplomatic heads of the “Lion” and the “Unicorn,” i.e. England and Scotland, two bitter adversaries for hundreds of years. Indeed, this section of Through the Looking Glass is a direct allegory to the tension between nations, also reduced to an old nursery rhyme:

The lion and the unicorn  
Were fighting for the crown  
The lion beat the unicorn  
All around the town.  

Some gave them white bread,  
And some gave them brown;  
Some gave them plum cake  
and drummed them out of town.

But all this kind of reemphasizes to me how versatile the Alice books could be, working as kids lit, a study in contemporary politics, wild and creative fiction, and a deep exploration of dreams and madness itself.
