Update: It is not good. The cast is stacked apart from the bauld Mel, who is comprehensively out of his depth, and the costumes are impressive, but Zafirelli's direction sucks the life out of it. The actors recite the script as if it were the Latin mass, rather than performing it. 5/10. Big meh.

A vertical close-up of a willow branch. Several catkins (small, oval-shaped flower clusters) are attached to a dark, slender twig that runs vertically through the center of the frame. They are light silvery grey. Each one is covered in tiny, fine hairs that grow outward from the center.

The scene is backlit. The sun appears as a bright, white, blurry circle in the upper center of the image, positioned directly behind the top-most catkins. This lighting creates a rim light effect, making the fine hairs on the edges of the catkins appear as a bright, glowing white outline.

The background is heavily blurred (bokeh effect). The bottom third consists of dark green, dense foliage. The upper two-thirds shows thin, bare branches of other trees set against a pale, bright blue sky.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."

Those are Trump's own second-hand shoes or I'll eat a separate, less embarrassing shoe. I guarantee they're in his size. He gave Marco Beag a pair of his old shoes as a "gift" and now Marco has to wear them if he ever wants to be Gauleiter of Havana.

This for all writing that's in any way important or consequential, not just long-form writing. Important text message? Read it out loud. Email? Read that bish. Memo for work? Recite! Another valuable hack, if you've time: set it aside. Do other things. Come back to it. You'll see things you hadn't.

Combined imaging and chemical analyses of 85 Mesolithic (6000 BCE) pot shards demonstrate that European fisher‑hunter‑gatherers ate a more diverse diet than previously thought reflecting plant-based food choices that were highly selective! 🧪 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Absolutely delusional to believe that this White House understands any such thing, or that Hair Hitler has any intention of relinquishing power, elections or lame duckness or not. Trump creates his own and their reality. That's all that matters to them.

This is chilling, but it's not surprising to anyone who remembers when Falwell and The Gipper realised that revival-flavoured fundamentalist American Christian ethnonationalism was the easiest, most insidious way to manipulate the Good Ole Boys. The Yeehawdi fanatics are running the show now.

*SO* thrilled yesterday to see the first screening of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, the film about my 17-year journey rewilding a West Cork farm. It went far and away beyond my hopes: a mesmerisingly lovely, immersive piece of work, almost dreamlike in parts, but grounded in ecology and daily life.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
