How about we fix the police so that homeowners and occupants aren’t at risk if the police show up? Swatting shouldn’t be a thing if police are responsible

I have enjoyed this last year of photographing Glastonbury Tor in all weathers. I think to sum it up for me, it is a passion and I truly feel a connection with this magical place like I know many others do. These are a few of my favourites. Have a fab New Years Eve.

🗓️ #OTD in 1943 – preparations for tomorrow's first X-craft recce of Normandy (📸 Adobe Stock) are thrown out during a meeting at sub base HMS Dolphin in Gosport (📸 submitted). #DDay80 C-in-C Portsmouth Charles Little and sub admiral Claud Barry have both been having concerns.

Modern-day view of La Rivière and Ver-sur-Mer, looking east towards Juno Beach with Gold Beach beneath us. COPP did their first reconnaissance of Normandy in this area.

View of HMS Dolphin, the submarine base at Fort Blockhouse in Gosport/Portsmouth, with a number of submarines alongside the quay and several motor launches in the foreground. Date taken is unknown but probably not long after the war.

However imperfect the honours system, it’s indefensible that an outgoing PM can allocate - purely on the basis of favoritism or mere whim - honours which others get only after independent assessment & validation. And their ability to nominate peers for life is most indefensible of all

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is really straightforward. The failure to apply its provisions up to this point has had (and will continue to have) terribly corrosive consequences for what remains of democracy in the US.

Less than a year now to the end of this 2019 Parliament, by automatic operation of law. This means that the government has less than a year to get any new primary legislation through parliament, and with no scope for using Parliament Acts to defy the Lords. The end is in sight.

SpaceX and Tesla are saying that they're seeing lower quality candidates interviewing for jobs these days... and immediately blame colleges and the students. Not the fact that smart grads want to work ANYWHERE else.

Elon Musk tweet: "SpaceX and Tesla have noticed a meaningful degradation in the capability of US college graduates over the past several years."

Engineering dude Chris Stanley from SpaceX/ExTwitter: "In the process of interviewing hundreds of individuals this year, not limited to potential new hires, I've discerned a notable trend: a general lack of work ethic and broad expertise. Many seem content with narrowly defined roles and showing little interest in stretching beyond their comfort zones. I screen for individuals who not only possess a 'full stack' view, encompassing networking, low-level systems understanding and software development skills, but also an obsessive drive to work hard. This tireless dedication, combined with a wide-ranging skill set, is exceptionally rare yet absolutely essential for progress."
