#SAFC. What a game. We played really well, shame we didn’t get a point. I’m exhausted

Watching Villa tear Bologna apart. SAFC play Villa on Sunday…

Moya Brennan, may she rest in peace. Sad news. This gorgeous track, an old tradition tune, is from Clannad's debut. Godspeed, Moya. youtu.be/53B-LF4mYmk?...

In 2002, at the age of 91 years, artist Louise Bourgeois created 'Ode a L'Oubli' (Ode to Forgetting),  a book of 35 fabric pages made from her own cloth saved from different eras of her life #Womensart

I may be naive but where the hell are the crowds protesting outside Congress, outside the White House ? This isn’t an own goal like Brexit, this is a country with a leader who is clearly mentally ill and who is killing his own people, recklessly attacking other countries, destabilising the world

If we do make it as far as the Local Elections, please do bear this in mind.

Trump: "I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take long. I'm good at language. I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president."

Surely the Royal visit can’t go ahead now ! You can’t expect anyone to deal with this man

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

“Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace pursued by force, but through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate the other, but to encounter them.” — Pope Leo XIV

The greedy pig in the White House. How depraved.

Wonderful !

Happy Easter! Here’s a lovely Romano-British brooch in the form of a cheerful little hare! 😍 Copper alloy decorated with enamel, 2nd-3rd century AD. 📷 British Museum www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o... #Archaeology

Bravo Southampton !

Sad to see Salah today. Slot obviously feels some sentimental responsibiluty to play him, given his imminent departure, but he has contributed to their defeat. A case of no player being bigger than the Club

It is no wonder that healthcare is a significant target of the US empire’s attacks. Cuba maintains that healthcare is a right, whereas the US affords it as a privilege and arena for profits.

Watching Boro v Millwall. The commentary is so negative towards Boro. Endlessly talking them down Good match, with ex SAFC’s Patterson in Millwall goal of course

This is a wonderful survival: Christ Washing the Feet of His Disciples, 1595, done in wool, silk and thread from a design based on a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, from his Passion series, done about 1508 (Met Museum) Holy Thursday

Back to the drawing board. In process

Chinese vase, spectacular. Flowers, even more spectacular. Small bug, just hanging around on the table. As recorded by Maria Sibylla Merian, artist & naturalist. It's her beautiful day.

The No Kings protests were great but surely there need to be massive protests like this all the time, a general strike even. The issues are truly monumental, not only for the USA but also for rest of the world. The mid terms are 8 months away. The mad leader is getting madder by the minute

Hard to get enthusiastic about the USA ‘s Artemis 11 moon mission when Trump’s USA is being so destructive and disruptive on earth. It seems grotesque somehow

I would have assumed the Royal visit to the US would have been cancelled under current circumstances. I’m no monarchist but how can Charles be expected to navigate the treacherous waters of the current White House and deal with its lunatic incumbent. It’s ludicrous

This Minoan wine jug is made in the Kamares style. Although it’s now admired for its almost modernist geometric patterns, those two swirls resemble a stylised sea horse (perhaps intentionally). Marine animals were very common in Minoan pottery. 🕰️2,100-1,700BC 🏛️Heraklion museum 📷Wolfgang Sauber

Had a NUFC supporting taxi driver today, nice guy actually. However he told me that #SAFC will definitely go back down next year, that we have been lucky to do what we have done. The fact that we have beaten them twice, are above them in th e league, counts for nothing. The sense of entitlement !!

Refreshing to see a European country take a hard line against the US’s illegal and immoral wars www.reuters.com/business/aer...

The simple casual sing songiness is always so intriguing.

It’s Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday. Here is a wheeled 15th century Palmesel or ‘palm-donkey’. (Met Museum)

Watching The Last Waltz. Pure joy

"All or Nothing" is a song by the English #rock band #SmallFaces. Written by #SteveMarriott and #RonnieLane, it was released as a single in August 1966 and reached #numberOne on the #UKSinglesChart for one week.

Donnie has no idea of the function of NATO, just blames everyone for not supporting his madness I’m pleased the USA is taking to the streets today, but it’s not enough. There needs to be constant action , constant pressure everywhere. The USA is propelling us all into a terrible place
