Just seen my first decorated Christmas tree in someone’s window. Sheesh. November 8th!

London’s looking lovely this morning.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

I just started watching the John Candy doc “I Like Me”, and was really shocked to see some godawful AI b-roll thrown in for no reason. Eeyooo… If only there was available footage of America in the 1950s.

Would be fascinating if she meant this literally, and not as a metaphor.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

There's a direct correlation between the world being unhappy and the introduction of angry-looking car headlights. All we see when we walk down the street is scowling cars with furious expressions. It's got to have an effect.

Dave Chappelle criticized the status of free speech in the United States while on stage at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia.

Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr and Omid Djalili are on the bill of the event.

feels a bit weird that we keep having these stories about individual cyber attacks but without anyone really joining the dots and going "okay, shall we maybe talk about this as a major global story"

MAYOR: Did you do that sculpture solemnly honouring our civil war dead SCULPTOR: Sure thing boss, real sexy just like you asked MAYOR: What

As a film title, Dwayne Johnson’s new movie “The Smashing Machine” should have been reserved for the next Wallace and Gromit project.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

My first day out with the new Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 mkII. It’s already noticeably lighter and faster to focus, plus an all -internal zoom. Seems like a winner! #photography

British people, particularly middle class British people aged from 30 to 50, really, *really* need to stop reading so much American domestic politics news because it's in the only language they understand. It's mostly irrelevant and it's driving you mad.

I’m pleased to have a few images in this years British Photography Awards. If you like the photo, please do throw me a vote at the link below! is.gd/5GO57n

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

I'll never get over Richard Briers being 40, doing a well paid, secure design job, making fun toys, being married to a 29 year old creative, devoted sexpot, living in a large suburban London home with a massive garden and thinking everything is rubbish at the start of A Good Life

Now! When do we want them?! More films like Memento! What do we want?!

I’m working my way through Kurt Vonnegut’s books and, man, does he keep nailing it. “Galapagos” is crazily prophetic of where we are today.

Were you at Glastonbury 2025? Did you wish you had been? Re-live the sights in my new post; www.leonneal.com/work/glaston...

Wandering the Camp Bestival site in the early hours, I was surprised to find kid’s tv presenters Dick & Dom doing a rave DJ set. As I was getting used to that, they dropped an Ozzy Osbourne tribute and played War Pigs. 🤘

Genuine question; I’m seeing a lot of posts of masked ICE raids where they leave when asked for ID. Are they bounty hunters posing as police? ICE agents just deciding to step away? Total randoms playing dress-up? Watching from another country, it’s wild to see what’s happening over there.

Wow. South Park are going in full pelt.

@noahkeate.bsky.social Good to meet you the other night! 👍

And Madsen wasn’t in Pulp Fiction. Hope the AI Streeting wants to use for transcribing medical notes is more reliable.

A few more moments from Glastonbury 2025. This year marked thirty years since my first visit, back in my drumming days. When I have time, I’ll put together a blog post at some point with images from over the years.

A small selection of the people and bands from the Glastonbury Festival 2025. I always try to spend as much time as possible away from the main stage, finding the smaller musical acts and documenting the people who make Glasto so special.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

A lighter moment from today as the Coldstream Guards travelled by train to Berwick-Upon-Tweed to mark 375 years since the Regiment was formed.

A wonderful day in Castleton for their annual Garland Day parade. Not the most practical horse-riding attire but it works.

It was a pleasure to see the winning images from this years World Press Photo at Here East last night. Well worth a visit! hereeast.com/events/the-w...

Legal Aid hack: - over 2 million pieces of data gone - 15 yrs worth of info - extremely sensitive data incl details of victims of domestic violence and people’s criminal cases - unbelievable potential for harm well beyond “scams” The CEO says this:

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Looks like there’s still been no decision in the conclave to decide the new BBC Director General.

It’s been a while since I mentioned it here but the Foto app is getting regular feature updates now, becoming much more enjoyable than IG. I find myself liking and discovering far more photographer’s work through this new platform. I’m on there as, unsurprisingly, @leonneal the.fotoapp.co/leonneal
