A pink boulder with red veining and a broad grey-white band, found at Hartlepool, Northeast England
A very lovely boulder found on the beach yesterday - I have no idea of this one’s geology, maybe a lot of feldspar with quartz?

on the tramway in Nantes and a pretty old woman gave her seat to a very old woman so I gave my seat to the pretty old woman then a man gave me his seat then a teenager gave a man his seat and then we all laughed, aren't people fantastic
And the hopping about dialogue. We gave it 10 minutes before turning it off.
With over 20 million article reads under our belt, we’re very serious about building a grassroots citizen journalism alternative to the billionaire-owned mainstream media.
And we can do it on an absolute shoestring too. That’s the revolutionary beauty of it.

Every journalist briefed by No 10 re Streeting knows who did it but now maintains the fiction it’s not clear who did. Treating government as a political campaign feeds journalists but it is bad government eg the huge number of leaks re Budget options has chilled the economy.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Wrong. You can't be a 'legend' and 'engaged in rank racism and sexism' at the same time.

If you're just waking, it's been a good night for Democrats across the US, with voters rejecting Trump nationwide. 🎉
Mamdani's comfortable win in New York, on the highest turnout since 1969, provides further proof that you don't have to pander to the right to win.

This is a photo of some bundles of greeting cards which are tied with twine. They are all reproduced from my original linocuts and have design elements taken from foliage, flowers and seed heads. Some of them also have patterned borders with dots, scallops and stars.
I'm putting some greeting cards together for a couple of customers and enjoying the satisfying mix of colours and pattern.

'Branch Hill Pond, Hampstead.' In the summer of 1821, John Constable began making direct studies in the open air of cloud formations. These were mostly made from the high ground at Hampstead village - an ideal observation point.
Wishing all my friends in the United States a happy National Cat Day. We don't have a National Cat Day in the UK, just a National Cat. Me.

The likes of Nigel Farage and Ian Duncan Smith are now saying this is too expensive, and it should be wound up.
That's 0.01% for an inquiry into the worst public health crisis in a generation.

Growing numbers are finding news through AI.
But AI assistants can’t yet guarantee accuracy, context, and neutrality.
The BBC & EBU have launched a News Integrity Toolkit to help get there.
Stephen McNair reports
In the early 1900s, George Henry, a key member of the Glasgow Boys, moved from Scotland to London. Over the next three decades, his style evolved from expressive, and decorative work towards a more pastoral approach; this work depicting the South Downs dates from the 1930s.
Uughhh!
This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is
