Thinking of John Coltrane on his 100th anniversary. Am small-a, non-militant atheist (I disbelieve in gods rather than one in particular). But am least atheistic, or wish I was not atheistic, listening to A Love Supreme. More than even Bach, this for me is most profoundly moving religious music.

“always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always…there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.”

Finally detailed mixed media illustration of a country lane running between high hedges leading to an idyllic village nestled among the hills. A laden hay wagon fills up most of the lane.

No visible eclipse here (Midlothian) due to clouds. But without those clouds we wouldn’t have this iridescence.

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Up to a point. When the B1s currently arriving over Iran from Gloucs. hit anything but missile silos tonight it becomes clear we have no sovereignty. I don’t see how he has any option but to resign tomorrow. Maybe he knows this. Maybe it’s his ‘finest hour’.

Thinking about this as the bombers start to land in Gloucestershire fields, quite clearly against the wishes of the British people and their government.

I have a theory that the people that write these kinds of headlines see it as an act of satirical resistance. Pisstaking in plan sight.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
