'Miners.' (1952) Keith Vaughan painted this image, probably in situ, during a period of significant optimism and patriotism in Britain when toil and work were associated with progress and regeneration.

A fundamental question in the "hi-viz debate" I never see asked is — If a motorist has difficulty seeing someone or something on the road ahead then should they not seek medical attention, or surrender their license? No motorist should assume what's ahead of them will be painted yellow.

In Leitrim they say that "only the storyteller carries it now". This is my favourite Leitrim expression.

Congratulations. If the writing in the book is even half as beautiful as these posts, it will be a winner.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Can't hold a World Cup in a country where the dictator's secret police are executing peaceful protesters in the streets.

"Belgium banned aircraft carrying weapons and military equipment to Israel from using its airspace or making technical stops, closing loopholes that previously allowed non-stop transit shipments"(PalTimes News) #Belgium #Israel #Palestine

Another public execution by masked men. The USA as we knew it, the 'American experiment', is dead.

Leaving aside Greenland and Venezuela for a second, if a “less developed” nation than the USA was set to host the World Cup in six months time and had goons caught on camera executing members of their own public, there would be calls for more than just boycotts. They’d want the host(s) changed.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

A warning sign I came across this afternoon in George Square in Glasgow. Given how often I've just about been hit by a bus while photographing the city's architecture, it's good advice! #glasgow #humour #architecture #architecturephotography #georgesquare

There used to be a whole raft of streets off the Lower Falls Rd in Belfast named after places in the Crimean War: Balaclava St, Raglan St, Alma St, Inkerman St, Sevastopol St, Odessa St. A lot of these were "redeveloped" since the start of the Troubles.

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.
