LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

St Albans today- installation of Andrew Rumsey as 11th bishop- wonderfully archaic site and building, with the reconstructed shrine of England’s first martyr- and its C15 watching gallery. Murals and ceilings:👌

The extent of the programmes being cut at the University of Edinburgh (where I took part in an event with Raja Shehadeh a fortnight ago) is extraordinary (archive.is/tACqv) - Celtic & Scottish Lit (UG), Scottish Literature (UG) & BD Divinity (UG) among the 90, not to mention Arabic & Persian.

Trump: "We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many"
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Wanted to see this for years- Wistman’s Wood, Dartmoor- a scant survival of native Atlantic rainforest. Sheep can’t get into its tumble of rocks. Timeless, true magic. More of this!

This time of year, the sunset rakes across the 1829 turnpike sign that demanded pennies from carriage drivers heading into Bath from the west. Soon the railways came.The sign remained on the tollhouse, the thick lettering paint weathered less. The old sign then became a stable door. I love it.

Too good not to share: a wooden floor of a #Neolithic house. Unearthed in Alleshausen-Grundwiesen, a wetland settlement at the western rim of the Federsee marshlands, 3020-2700 BC. 📷H. Schlichterle/Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Baden Württemberg 🏺 #archaeology
A lawn, squares of which have been dug out until a depth of around 30 cm. There are bicolor length indicators (red and white) and, on the flat uneathed bottom: a wooden floor : planks on joists. The wood is black and corroded.

Elfreth’s Alley, Philadelphia c.1703-1830s (plus restorations)- claimed the oldest continuously inhabited street in the US. I mean, there are always extents of survivals, and nothing stays intact, but seems legit.
