The people are starving because the rest of the world has done nothing to stop the Israeli GOVERNMENT using starvation as a weapon This includes the British people/government/prime-minister. We are all complicit but the American people/government/president must bear a greater part of the blame.

We don’t leave them on the beach. We take them home, love them up for a few months then take them back and throw them back in. The feathers we keep.

Wonderful Hiroshige exhibition at British Museum this summer. It sent me back to Essays in Idleness. So many of them are like woodblock prints in that they a freighted with subtext.

True but I do find that the words - YOU'RE NEXT - writ large, tend to concentrate the minds of those who are slow to recognise the threats posed by the likes of Trump, Vance and Leon Scum

Hello from England. I love those mugs. I'm a collector of studio ceramics. Been collecting for more than 40 years in Europe, Japan, Korea, India, etc. I would love one or two, if you are selling them please let me know. Joe codelightandcontent@gmail.com

Trump/Putin Ukraine peace deal? WTF? Two habitual & shameless liars unable to keep promises? Putin is more to be trusted than Trump he's never made any secret of what he is. Putin isn't "playing" Trump. He doesn't need to. T is so blinded by vanity & so stupid he will accept anything Putin says.

I have Love's Laebrack Sang by Lollie Graham I am slowly rendering some poems into English Would you or someone you know check if I have got them wrong or to see if I have missed some subtlety of meaning. LG once read me some poems & even now my heart fills up remembering.

Goodbye Vimeo! They got too big, they're in chaos, their chatbot is funny but needs an upgrade, their humans take 24 hours to answer your email. They seem confused and careless. The simple functions in the Vimeo customer journey are neither simple nor functional. Any recommendations please?

I am genuinely more addicted to coffee than any narcotic I ever took. AsI have got older I have given up smoking, sugar, and alcohol but when the doctor says "Give up coffee or you'll die" I will reply "So I'll die" 😎

That looks like fire + child + dog. How I envy you I had them all & time, unknowing & uncaring took them away The kids are away conquering their brave new world.

Random stupidities of apps and software once drove me crazy but now I'm reassured that Ai will need a quantum+ leap to take over the world. In a similar vein I am no longer infuriated but flattered that LinkedIn thinks I might know people from Leeds university who arrived there 50 years after I left

It may be the colour balance in the photograph but that looks like a fairly large mug full of VERY strong coffee. A few of those will "tame" you once and for all. There are none so tame as the stone cold dead.

It is still winter in England. We are two weeks away from the Vernal Equinox when Spring officially starts and yet this morning a Brimstone butterfly ~ Gonepteryx rhamni ~ one of the few butterflies that hibernate through the winter is busy in the cold pale sunshine of our south coast chalk garden

Vance is getting most of the blame for the bullying & shouting but Trump chose him & we may judge a man by the company he keeps The shouting obscured the astonishing stupidity of the "policy" that the Tantrum Twins were advocating Is this Brain Power Deficit Disorder? Can BPDO be treated?

Tronald Dump, what can we say, he thinks he can buy the world and he is willing to trash his own country and his own country's reputation AND the world he wants to buy in order to do so.

The closer & more scummy the Trump Putin, dog and bitch, bromance the better. All political lives end in failure. The closer they are the more chance the fall of one will topple the other. Cheer them on, feed their delusions, hand them the spade, they'll dig their own graves and save us the effort.

Pls follow me then (I think) I will be able to send you a direct message. I'm interested in forming some sort of group though not necessarily a starter pack thing. I think you You and I have some things in common not least, serial publication and a diplomatic background.

Embracing the own boss working from home thing ~ one of my strategies is to lie in bed long after I should have got up at least two mornings a month Even if I actually want to get up. In the past I never wanted tea in bed even at the weekend now I often say yes to a cup of tea while still horizontal

Scrolling encourages the scroller to think they have some choice in what they read Free will is a delusion You can, however, prove your control by choosing never to scroll only reading uppermost post when you enter the feed. Controlling "chance" by making it one of your choices. Hope this is helpful

I tried building an online shop on Squarespace. Possible but not easy. Thought I would try Shopify. What could be worse than Squarespace I thought? Now I know! Squarespace will allow me to enter a link to bsky.social but it does not import the butterfly brand.

What on Earth is currywurst? Perhaps I can monetise it in England where we love curry and fries. I'm thinking a chain of restaurants with the slogan Currywurst, not as bad as you think!

WTF ~ I looked at the "Popular with Friends" feed The featured friends & friends of my friends were all from USA, no problem there except lots of the friends I follow and who follow me are in UK or Europe. Is this US bias an algorithmic glitch? Responders pls remember I may be dumb but I'm friendly

Phil hi a lifetime ago I lived on a 50' NB up the Stort. In those days there were lock-keepers and kingfishers. We got a kitten (Captain Cat) which fell in the water & to my astonishment immediately began to swim (doggy paddle?) & was also able to change direction to come towards our rescuing hands.

We make films about people who live with ADHD. We have had posts blocked for nude self portraits by people who are ++ neurodiverse useful to improve self image and understanding. The problem will be solved I think. AI will make it possible to have algorithms that make much more informed judgements.

If the planet & the human race is to survive we will need cooperation on a global scale, cooperation so close & so all-encompassing that it will amount to world government If we survive COP29 will come to be seen as a single though huge step on the long journey. Cooperation not technology is the key

It's making my knees ache just looking at the snap. I first walked that route in 1956 or 58 (can't remember which) so not surprising the joints have given up. Thanks for the picture. Joe

I lived on a canal boat for years. We got a kitten which fell into the water when she was only a few months old. To my astonishment not only did she swim but she managed to change direction to come into range of our rescue attempts.

At the time I worked helping senior people in the UK Government communicate with the "people". I ran a 3 x one hour workshop based on the film. I had a dream that one day I would go to Grand Rapids and meet some of the people who are in the film. The whole project is so life affirming.

I now understand why Trump is keen to own golf courses. So that he can hang around the showers measuring the golfer's "equipment". Looming out of the steam, tape measure in hand. I wonder if he has Koro? Maybe that's why he wears his suit jackets so long.
