One of my favorite things to do in nature photography is to force the viewer to ask, "what the hell is that?!" Finding these things in nature is so much fun. Anyone else?

I love this kind of photography and, for me, this is why abstract expressionist painting is so powerful. (Emma Richardson & Marnie McNamara)

It's Bowie's birthday, which means it's time for the annual repost of my drawing of a bunch of dancing Daves in the style of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts. Happy Birthday, Mr Jones.

Pretty stoked that a former student of mine has a (not very freaky) #FreakZone playlist for a Winter Walk on @bbc6music.bsky.social Thea HD's NTS show on Sunday is sublime, and this is like the best of that. Delicious medicine for the winter blues. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

What a gorgeous piece of art.

I will never apologize for a post

So much truth. And controversial view: for me one of the key differences between radio programmes and podcasts is that radio programmes rarely make me shout GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER IN THE PUB I WASN’T THERE

Happy New Year friends, hoping and praying for a better one. Love from the South Downs National Park, Hampshire UK. #ShotOnFairphone #Scape #EastCoastKin #photography

In short - the world needs more enthusiasts throwing caution to the wind & geeking out so damn hard it's impossible to not get swept up in what they're feeling. If that's you, this is your green light. Please go nuts. 2026 needs you. Further thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/everythi... 3/

Nearly 3 years since I made this plate. Didn’t care much for it back then. Now it’s one of my favourites from all the Ambrotypes I made following in the footsteps of Renoir at Moulin Huet. What a time we had @museegiverny.bsky.social 8x10 Ambrotype

C'est parfait.

"Rob Reiner's work [] wasn't just good to watch. It was good to love, and to talk about and remember. Good to quote from and good to put on your lists of desert island movies and comfort watches. And it will continue to be those things" @lindaholmes.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/12/15/n...

“Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.” This is the posthumous message left by Gil Gerard. The actor who played Buck Rogers in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) has just passed away at the age of 82.

I wonder if Rob Reiner knew the depth of his influence and cultural impact? The BBC media player's volume control goes up to eleven. #RobReiner #GoesUpToEleven

In a spectacular act of self destructive enshitification Time Magazine have slapped an AI search bar over the centre of every article. There's no way to make it go away. I don't want to explore the archive. I want to be able to read this article. #AISlop #Enshitification #ResistAI #Meh

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

‪A mile up the lane from my house is an Oak tree standing sentinel, alone in her field, like a season clock. I've been making her portrait as a slow, on-going artwork, for five years. Here's December's portrait. #Photography #shotonfairphone #EastCoastKin www.dirtmeetsthewater.co.uk/the-oak-1

Resisting AI is a social justice issue. "Asking ‘who does this technology actually serve?’ is crucial for understanding its societal impact, making this question central to critical thinking." Via @ianbetteridge.com's excellent / essential weekly briefing. www.ianbetteridge.com/ten-blue-lin...

This is excellent. I'd suggest that everything Darius writes about music and culture is also an urget alert for the unregulated AI monopolies that are forming too rapidly.

When we lose an important musician BBC 6Music always handle it beautifully, in depth and with the best of the artist's work. Bravo @huwstephensdj.bsky.social @matteveritt.bsky.social & @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social you honoured Mani well. youtu.be/7NrLBlw9WZE?...
