You can't have it both ways. I'm either a bad listener or that other thing you said.

I wrote a book called 'One Day', superbly illustrated by @benjamindraws that tells the story of Jewish members of the French Resistance who escaped from the train deporting them to Auschwitz. My father's uncle and aunt were on the same train but didn't escape.

Just lovely.

The thing about the track record of the likes of Gove and Farage is that on multiple important issues they have objectively failed. They can argue whether the failure was because of the original idea, the execution, or sheer bad luck, but the good things they said would happen have not materialised.

I’ve got my eye on you!

Early stroll. Turning that corner is like turning a page. Someone is hauled along by two dogs. The GIVE WAY sign’s shouty triangle. A shattered bottle’s sharp goodbye. A bearded man stares at the sky.

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Beautiful

Exceptional fisking of Michael Gove’s latest attacks on Ed Miliband from @steverichards.bsky.social. It’s genuinely shameful of Gove to imply allowing more drilling in the North Sea could help tackle the cost of living. open.spotify.com/episode/1MIX...

🧵 Spring is finally making itself known in Dublin. I love the bright flashes of colour that awaken the eye. You can see that same delight in my one-off ink drawings. For me bold hues & exciting tones are central to creating powerful images. Scroll down to see them! [1]

The strongest palpable association with Henri Manguin's 'Still life with Cyclamens,' (1912) is with the early works of Matisse, whose vivid layering of patterns and flattened perspective Manguin admired.

Oh no

A Mere stroll, yesterday.

Early stroll. Mist’s seeming heaviness of touch. Small changes noticed, unnoticed. So many pops in one small apple. A hooded man ghosts by. A cat the colour of my shoes.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtMe and it's also #SmallBirdSaturday Northern Wheatear on the South Downs near Truliegh Hill. #birds #photography

Me and Fred and The Bloke With The Dog carry the papers into the shop. Fred says he’s going to hunt for some mint sauce. The Bloke With The Dog says he saw the mist rolling in earlier.

What a great photo. 📸 These kids would be about my age by now. I wonder how it worked out for them? I wonder if any of them can still do a headstand? 🤔

Grimethorpe evening by Steve Milner

Pleased to have a couple of cartoons in the new edition of Private Eye. Here's my attempt to bring world peace from the previous issue.

Here it is - my newborn poem.

You can’t judge a book by its lover

128th anniversary today of this rather important story appearing in the Lawrence Daily Journal, Kansas

Seeing as it’s getting attention, if you enjoyed this thread, I don’t have my own podcast to promote, but I did get invited on one...

Nobody’s saying it out loud, but there’s a non-zero chance that Trump is a changeling president, sent by the faerie folk in revenge for decades of misrepresentation of leprechauns in the US.

I'm not the world's greatest royalist but then that makes no difference when you organize a surprise message from the King to my royalist parents on their 60th wedding anniversary. They were chuffed to bits. 👑✍️📨 I hid the guillotine. 😉😂

Another modest, but sensible move from government to get more renewables capacity deployed. www.businessgreen.com/news/4527126...

#ResistanceRoots #WomensHistoryMonth Alice Austen was born on this day in 1866 in Rosebank, N.Y. One of the first women photographers to work extensively outside a studio, her work documents a rapidly changing New York City and the intimate lives of Victorian women. /1

I have a kind request to all of you! Please follow @gehape.bsky.social; it's the new account of my friend Georg H. Peters, whose old account was suddenly deleted. Thank you in advance for following him; he’ll certainly appreciate it. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Somnambulation. A corbel stone supporting an imaginary stone arch on an imposing Victorian church appears to have been garrotted by a later 19th or 20th century electrician... All so that the brethren can see the light?

America is in the middle of a nervous breakdown.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Today I flew high Above the Taurus Mountains. My Turkish delight. 🇹🇷

Somnambulation. 14 years of the Canal and River Trust (sic) and we can still find good old British Waterways logos on stand-pipes although the black and white signs are gone along with maintenance, pointing, and weed control...

The Leader of the Free World has declared that Canada will NOT participate in Trump's Epic Fury war on Iran. ===============================

🚨 The most effective way to protect your family from measles is to make sure you’re all up to date with your MMRV vaccinations. Measles is a highly contagious illness that can make children seriously unwell. I urge all Londoners to check whether you or your children need to be vaccinated.

In the past week, wind, solar and hydro have generated 58% of UK electricity demand. Gas has been just 17%. It's gas usage that pushes the price up, but thankfully our high renewable generation has helped keep prices sensible. Source: grid.iamkate.com

Enough with the elf on a shelf and cartoonish bastardised leprechaun cutesy nonsense, it's time we taught people outside of Ireland about REAL fairies (will swap your baby for a changeling and/or curse your entire family and their livestock if you even look sideways at a ring fort)
