Hey, @BBCNews, she didn't retire because of his gender. She retired because of his SEX! Why can't you get that into your heads? He's a man. He shouldn't be boxing in that competition at all. Where's BBC Verify when you need them? #IStandWithAngelaCarini

Black-chinned Siskin. But then I am in Santiago, Chile. #firstbirdofmyday

It's just another case of follow the lieder. #MakeAQuoteMusical

It's no joke. But the temptation to say "It's a sign" is almost too much.

A cheeky crow and a gruff magpie are vying with each other to be #firstbirdofmyday. What they don't know is that a pensive woodpigeon had already claimed that title some minutes earlier. #bedroombirdwatching

Nick Cave introduces Kylie Minogue to the thousands who have, it seems, largely come by bike! 👍🏼 #brighton #badseeds

As one of America's finest once said: "When they tell you who they are believe them." #worldcupfinal

It's not often that Homer is relegated to 'one other' - and it's a bit unfair here! #theodyssey

And THIS is why Bazball is ultimately a failure. It's great to entertain. But the aim of the game is to win. And this inflexible agenda has lost its voodoo hold over other teams. It's test cricket. If you play it like it's a T20 you are going to lose. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #engvnz

Emergency services fighting huge clouds of billowing smoke as Sturgeon tells BBC: There's no fire here. #Sturgeon #kuenssberg

8.00 this morning. Not many people on the beach at Seaford. But plenty in the air, it seems. #trails

Pretty special on the Downs this evening - now that it's gorgeously warm instead of suffocatingly hot.

"He's gonna need a bigger pocket!" #tesla #elonmusk Elon Musk's latest Tesla pay valued at $158bn - but he can't pocket it bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c302…

Well, that makes a change from "...as a woman". 🤷🏻‍♂️

After the exertions of today's Brighton Marathon* the city looked pretty serene this evening. * My son's not mine! @BrightonMarathn

The Good Friday tradition of queuing from early, along with many many others, for these beauties. #hotcrossbuns

Saw tonight's first preview of #LesLiaisonsDangereuses at @nationaltheatre. There's an article in the programme about the challenge of putting intimacy on a big stage. This didn't manage it. I fear Aidan T (among others) is miscast. Lesley M works hard. The set is a mess. Shame.

Great day for a walk. #Ovingdean #undercliffcafe

Who doesn't love a glass brick? #Manchester
