No idea why this hasn't worked on the 1st post. It's all about FP4+ this week & the fantastic community on Bluesky #fp4party. (Thanks to @paulasmith.co.uk) These are our 5 favourites who will all receive some goodies www.ilfordphoto.com/friday-favou... Image @analoguelass.bsky.social

How many more people are going to have to resign for Keir Starmer's decision to ignore the advice of every single person who told him not to appoint Peter Mandelson?

I agree but *everyone* knew Peter was a corrupt, utterly self-absorbed lying weasel 20 years ago. So why were all the lads attending his mates’ secret briefings and publishing their shock revelations, why were they quoting him as a Labour Insider, interviewing him, having him on the radio as a guest

"This weekend, the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, and Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula Silva, will meet in Barcelona with the heads of states of South Africa, Mexico, Colombia and many more countries to press ahead [with a global minimum tax]." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

I hope all these important people are glad they spent the last two and a half years, and indeed several decades, helping to smooth over America’s horrifying imperial rule over the Middle East. And some shit-hot excuses, because every current government is going to get voted out pronto for this.

Great opportunity to get some scientific writing experience on your CV 😎

Yeah, I think I’ll wait until I hear a lot more about this before I start worrying about it. In particular, I’ll wait to see whether it’s the bit highlighted in the second photo that is the actually concerning part.

Artist Talk - Photo Meet - East London - 7th May. I'm really pleased to be giving an artist talk in East London in early May. I'll be talking about my creative process and my travels up and down the UK. Do come along if you can make it. Tickets available here photomeet.org/artist-talks...

How the sausage is made. I’ve always been interested in the kind of magic of cooking, turning one thing into another. #Butchery was one of my early subjects as a hobbyist first starting to document food and hospitality. Every now and again I get to go back to it. #believeinfilm 🎞️

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

Informal jazz listening clubs a bit like this abounded in Black & Coloured townships in apartheid South Africa. Small groups, mostly men, getting together on Sundays to listen to LPs, talk about music, have a few drinks, & enjoy each others company. Hugely important in keeping culture alive.

Our Son was diagnosed with Addisons disease a few years ago it’s a little known life threatening condition. He got married a year ago and his beautiful wife Emma is running tomorrow to raise funds. I know you see a lot of these posts but I can only ask ….. share.google/POl58jKQ1bkh...

Every time I see this photo I giggle at the thought that astronaut pulled the ultimate dad move and told the rest of his family that it was just a normal family portrait session and to wear regular clothes only to show up himself in a damn space suit.

Born into slavery, Adolf Ludvig Couschi Badin became part of Swedish royal court and left legacy of books and letters

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

I will never forget a man in the COVID critical care ward literally dying of a disease telling his physicians that the thing they were trying to treat him for was a hoax. That man died thinking that the thing which killed him was fake news.

Why not buy something for the kids this easter and help an indie bookshop keep going? Highly recommend this one by @athenakugblenu.bsky.social with art by Nicole Miles. #KidLitUK #Booksky afroribooks.co.uk/products/his...

I mean obviously as a certified non posable action figurine appreciator I'm a biased source here, but I do basically agree with this. Being unironically enthusiastic about weird niche things is one of the true joys of living in a society and if you can gain access to it you should.
