This is the most ghastly story- a “will they, won’t they” debate about whether Tennessee will execute a woman today - leaving her in tortured limbo. The death penalty is abhorrent and should not be allowed in a civilized society.

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

A glimpse into a distant time when this isle was a land of giants. Castell Henllys Iron Age Village, Pembrokeshire, Wales, is beautifully situated in fine wooded countryside; from a distance, it gives the impression that ancient folk still live here and that we’re somehow intruding on their privacy.

Reconstruction of an Iron Age camp of large thatched round houses situated amid trees on a hillside. A field is seen in the foreground while the sky is grey above. One of the thatched round houses is bigger than the others.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The Sharp TRP801 (1960)

A portable television, in a very 'space age' case: the top is ivory but the sides and frontispiece are cherry red. Twin antenna sprout from the back, a silver tilted carry handle sprouts from the top, and a huge silver grille allows both airflow and speaker. There are a bare minimum of controls on the top of the device itself: an on/off push toggle, a silver tuning dial, a rotary display behind a glass window for current station, and recessed plastic wheels for h-hold, v-hold, brightness, and volume.

The Giant Puffball grows to around football size & are saprotrophic, ie feed on dead organic matter. So an important recycling service for decaying plants & other detritus. They usually grow in small clusters, but sometimes form 'fairy rings'. 📸 N Fletcher
