Ooh nice choice- Patrick Jane is such a chaos goblin!

Anyways.
A view of Cornwall’s rugged coastline, featuring the ruins of an old tin mine perched on the cliffs above the shimmering Atlantic Ocean. The iconic engine house and tall chimney stand as a reminder of the region’s rich mining heritage, now embraced by nature and the wild coastal landscape. A perfect scene to celebrate St Piran’s Day and Cornwall’s proud history.
Late afternoon over the Cornish coast, with the silhouette of a lone engine house standing against the vast expanse of the Atlantic. The golden light reflects off the water, casting a peaceful glow over the rolling hills and rugged cliffs. A fitting tribute to Cornwall’s industrial past and its enduring natural beauty.
A striking granite tor, its weathered, layered rocks shaped by centuries of wind and rain. The dramatic formation stands against a backdrop of rolling countryside and a vast sky filled with fluffy clouds. A perfect example of the wild, ancient landscapes that make Cornwall so unique.
The breathtaking scenery of Kynance Cove on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula, where turquoise waters meet dramatic rocky islands and golden sand. The winding coastal path leads down to the secluded beach, framed by dark serpentine rock formations. A place of raw natural beauty, and a true Cornish gem.
Some classic #Cornish scenes to celebrate St Piran’s Day. #Cornwal #GoolPeranLowen #nature #coast
NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

We spent our childhood trying not to drown on the shelving Mediterranean beach-pretender that is Porthcurno. Here I am trying to capture the drama of the waves from a viewpoint next to the Minack Theatre
Sennen Cove is my favourite easy access beach. I love catching the waves and trying to capture this view towards Gwenver - a watercolour/multimedia view
Same view of Sennen cove but an experiment in bolder colours in oil pastel

Cornish Landscapes - an ever growing lexicon in my attempt to capture the dynamic drama and peace I find in Cornwall’s landscapes 🧵🪡
Need to list prints of some of these!

Tiny studies of Cornish Landscapes on four found objects, painted in pencil crayon and posca pen on pebbles, and seaworn ceramic fragments
Last year’s tiny studies on found objects… from the top: Sennen, Mousehole harbour from the beach, Sennen looking out towards the cliffs and the view from the beach at Porthmeor - painted on pebbles and ceramic slivers I found on the beach

WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE BLOODY INTERNET? Our landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on and off, using a switch.

Someone get this old coot a sedative!
Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

Thought I’d take a break from the horrors by watching The Last Voyage of the Demeter last night.
What. The. Hell is up with the geography in this story? An unmanned ship, taking on water and having lost its main mast, is going to make it from some nebulous location on the south coast to Whitby?!
I've urged my MP to show up, speak out and stand up for nature at Tuesday's Westminster Hall debate!
Help make this a turning point nature needs.

Oops I did it again 🙈 went back for The Crux Deluxe.
Buying CDs again could become a bit of an addiction.
In my case, "quick coloring" equals creating masterpieces and idk how to prevent that. Not joking, it's serious cuz I'd like that to be more loose...

The Green Party didn't just win in Gorton & Denton, they beat Reform and Labour into a distant second and third - congratulations Greens!
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
CD album cover of The Crux/DJO. The cover features a view of an apartment building from a busy street below filled with some dodgy looking characters, including a masked robber climbing out of the sewer.
Went into HMV and couldn’t help myself, I went and bought DJO/The Crux.
Of course I haven’t had a CD player for years so had to get one of those as well, but at least I can listen to my massive collection again! ☺️

Meet the tiniest (and coolest) members of our team: our Rangers on the Roam.
This tiny team has been hard at work around the Lake District, proving that no task is too great or small for a National Trust ranger.
Every week night we catch the end of Rick Stein's food show, and I'm amazed he hasn't turned me off of food for life after his recommendation for 'toilet cod'.

Planetary astrophysicist by day, space artist by night. The year is 2022 & my PhD research inspires me to create a giant multi-spectral Jupiter painting. Oh shit, did I just invent my own style? I decide to leave academia & take a chance on my art.
That is one determined bird.
In a nutshell this thread expresses what an idiot Nick Clegg is. Worth readying the whole thing though, even though it might lower whatever low opinion you already had of him
