I struggle to imagine, at this particular moment in time, how anybody would want to make our climate issues worse than they are. How many preventable deaths will it take for our politicians to carry out their primary purpose, the safety and security of the people. A fundamentally illogical failure.

Many of John Ruskin's watercolours reflect an interest in the close observation of skies and clouds, studied at dawn, sunset (as here in 1845) and in varying weather conditions; his interest in these themes was a lifelong one.

This emergency water tank (1942) was situated on Upper Thames Street in London; the dome of St Pauls Cathedral can be seen in the background. Charles Ginner was an admirer of Canaletto, his paintings of Venice he said, influenced this work.

Primarily known as an illustrator, Raymond Sheppard was a painter of animals, landscapes, portraits and domestic scenes. During WW2, he served in the Royal Air Force, and produced a number of drawings of aerial subjects. This self-portrait dates from 1947.

'Brighton Beach, East Sussex.' (c1930) George Sheringham is surprisingly little known. He began his training at the Slade, undertook private tuition with Harry Becker and spent much of his career as an illustrator; he returned to easel painting in the 1930s.

A Morocco Street Scene,' (1880) is quintessential John Singer Sargent in its dynamic use of angles and fascination with how direct and indirect light reflects onto and off white surfaces set against an intense blue sky.

'Marsh landscape.' (1958) In the early 1950s, Denis Wirth Miller settled in the Essex town of Wivenhoe - he considered the ship-building and fishing town a perfect retreat for his work and began to skillfully capture the austere, beautiful Essex flatlands on canvas.

'Natalie Dower.' (1958) Where his friends Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach acquired international reputations, Patrick George was known principally as a teacher after almost 40 years at the Slade, he retired as professor of fine art and director of the school in 1988

This is quite a read, and any time the Telegraph or one of its journalists is paraded on national TV or radio it’s worth remembering this fact from the article: “About 40% of its disproportionately male, affluent and elderly readers now live abroad.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

This is what rush hour looks like in Belfast for two weeks because of the 12th July

"I have decided to replace the thing I definitely can't do with a thing I probably can't do but which is harder for you to check."

"Without Addison Mitchell McConnell III, there would be no Donald Trump. Mitch fed the cancer. He prevented the oncologists and surgeons from administering treatment. And knowing he possessed the singular cure, he chose to sit on his hands as the terminal disease ate away at our democracy."

How best to define the Trump era? I’m going with Explosive Diarrhea.

This was a “best efforts” deal. 🤷‍♂️

Everyone knows Jules Rimet as the man behind the World Cup. Fewer know he was a First World War veteran, and that the war shaped everything he built afterwards. HALF TIME thread 🧵⚽ 📸 Wikicommons

ICE killed another person.

Cleanse your timeline with this Labrador who had to be stretchered off Ben Nevis after getting absolutely and utterly zooted.

What's particularly shameful about this is that the speculation is coming entirely from politicians and commentators framing themselves as Widdecombe friends or allies.

The World Cup semi-finalists are the top 4 teams in the world rankings, and England will need to beat 2 teams ranked higher than them to win the trophy. Not impossible, but a tall order. Percentages based on live ratings from eloratings.net
