In case anyone doesn't know, the trichrome process involves taking three photos on b&w film, through three coloured filters, then combining them. It is really difficult to do, and astonishingly difficult to do this well!

Art heist alert! My framed drawing Akron Ladders III was stolen from a gallery in East Sussex. It’s a very distinctive drawing that was shown in the RA Summer Exhibition 2024. Let me know if you spot it anywhere. It’s hard enough being an artist at the moment without having to deal with thievery.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

This is quite an impressive rebuttal of some of the most insidious claims made by kleptocrats the world over to convince people and, more importantly, governments that taking responsible action is not urgent. I really hope that this hedge fund manager is being hit hard by the current crisis.

Despite being of an age, this completely passed me by at the time but between 1987 and 1988 Fisher Price produced a camcorder which recorded black and white video onto STANDARD AUDIO CASSETTES! I just saw some example footage and now I REALLY want one... museumoffailure.com/exhibition/f...

Something that, for all its faults, pre-privatisation Royal Mail managed to do pretty well for decades, and at substantially lower cost. It's almost as if selling out essential national services to private equity is a massively shit idea... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"The church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country" (Queen Elizabeth II, 2012). It's good to see the Bishop of Kirkstall rising to that call, reminding Nick Timothy that "Islamophobia is not a Christian value or Christian virtue". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's a good job I labelled everything last autumn, isn't it?

Still morning. (Slightly later.) #my400

Morning. #my400

Defra's Land Use Framework has just been published - you can download it here www.gov.uk/government/p... And here are a few tasters around Dartmoor

Robert documented teams from South Dartmoor College training for Ten Tors between 2017 and 2020 and produced four separate series of images during this period, all of which can be found on his website: www.robertdarch.com/ten-tors

1/ Experts issued some pretty dire warnings about Trumpian tariffs and Brexit, and the result was not nearly as bad as it could have been. Now they're issuing dire warnings about Iran. A much smarter friend asked me how I was thinking about the difference. My short answer: control.

“So …err… when I see Andrew come up the drive, I pull this and …err… what?” “Goodnight Vienna, sir” “Ah yes, goodnight Vienna”

Apologies for the politics, but this seems like a particularly apt time for this old one...

Sometimes all you have to hold on to is that you're not the only one feeling this way.

Got dragged to a Bears in Trees gig by the teenager. At one point, the lead singer was playing a flute solo, while two audience members played MarioKart Wii onstage on a portable CRT telly. The audience knew all the lyrics, even to the song released only two days before. The kids really are alright.

and you won't be able to see that that's what's happening. the park should not be full of broken glass. you can't just ban children from the play area and call the problem solved. 1) they now have no play area 2) everyone else is still getting cut to ribbons

Excuse my French, but...shitting hell.

Spot the wol.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Peter Mitchell. Leeds. 1970s. The man of the pavement. I have always loved his work. Inspirational, and a master of the quotidian.

Sometimes a picture just grabs your attention. For those who want an alt text: a black and white photograph of unevenly spaced vertical black and white stripes. The stripes are bold but neither dead straight nor perfectly defined, having a texture almost like draping thread.

I really love Andrew's work, and his pieces are often the ones which have generated most discussion and comment when we've exhibited it in the past. He's also thoroughly down to earth, generous and always very supportive of all that we do with @dartmoorcollective.org.

"Who is we?“ As we wait for events in Davos to unfold, a thread about a question posed to me in London a few weeks after the invasion of Ukraine, and why I am thinking about it today, on a day of severe crisis for the Western Alliance. 🧵

It feels like it's dead cats all the way down at this point.

On the way out this morning Sunshine today; a southerly wind has blown away the weekend's nasty roke. Saw a kestrel and a sparrowhawk along the hedgerow (both male); the kestrel tilted over the roof of the car and skimmed into the open field, sparrowhawk glared from the top of a hawthorn #my400

'Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.' www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/...

The reason the UK knew the operational parameters of the Argentine aircraft and missile systems was because they were French. And the moment the war kicked off, the French government quietly slipped us the full specifications.

I see that they've finally decided to enact the Putinov Trumpentrop Pact.

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

1/ Something which I don't think gets articulated clearly often enough is that a system where countries generally respect international sovereignty and territorial integrity is not pure charity or morality by the United States, but in its direct interests. Despite it being the strongest bear.

As depressing as part of this story is, there is a grain of hope that the current government are serious about ensuring that the UK doesn't just become a service industry 'historical Disneyland'.
