London’s thrilling underground network, 1961. “Visitors are always fascinated by the escalators, the brightly-lit stations, and the rush of the trains from the dark tunnels”. Artist: Robert Ayton (1961)
Passengers wait on a platform for a train that is approaching around an unlikely bend in the tracks. Some of the passengers are dressed formally with suits and bowler hats and some are looking very groovy.

You know those graves of Catholic priests outside their churches? Their family members can't be buried with them. In at least one case a cremated woman was sneaked into her brother's grave under cover of darkness.

My favourite version of this is Newgrange where they have to make a point of saying that "Loved ones" includes pets (who won't be allowed to haunt in the chamber either).

The reaction from some loyalists to the open letter from Protestants calling for the OO to cancel the march has been as wild as expected. Particularly enjoying the accusations of fake signatories. UNTHINKABLE that there could be like 60 people having independent thoughts. They're all secret taigs.

Unable to bring green and orange together with racism, the far-right here are shifting attention to women's rights. Jim Dowson (also present at this demo) and Mark 'Freedomdad' Sinclair push White replacement conspiracy, claiming the way to save Ulster is by "breeding". Lynsey in on the action too.

Well the Zorb idea for Drumcree got a tepid reception. New day, new idea - The Garvaghy Bull Run. Sort of like San Fermin but using Irish Moiled bulls. Unlike San Fermin the brethren would be given a 10 minute start, but at the pace the bulls have they'd need to be quick-stepping the end.

Alistair doesn't realise what a privileged position he already enjoys and instead thinks his rights are being trampled because he doesn't get *EVERYTHING* he wants, IN PERPETUITY. I'd argue that Alistair is being unreasonable, and guess that at this point about 90% of the country thinks the same.

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Update on the current standoff at Drumcree. The delay in moving this to the next stage lies with the PSNI currently. Once they say they can no longer police this, it moves to the Secretary of State to overturn the successful appeal and restart the process again. PSNI hold the power currently.

Very odd comment, now deleted, as the Garvaghy road residents are of a Christian background too, and as it happens, Catholic tradition has disobedience to unjust law as a fully orthodox part of its theology.

There are two simultaneous anti-choice protests raking place right now outside City Hall, 20 feet apart, one for the Catholics and one for the Protestants. This place has its drawbacks but ypu have to concede there is a rich seam in the comedy mines.

I hate this. This young fella competed in the longest race of his life at the same level as top riders doing this for years. His team made a great effort, yes but so did many others without nearly the same impact. Someone needs to keep an eye on Seixas and make sure he knows his own value.
