Caught this this evening on RTE1, on our holiday, actually in the Beara peninsula ourselves! The track to holiday cottage has a patch of Irish rainforest as well, where we saw a red squirrel, some amazing nature here

Was up in Leeds for asking for research money the other week. I'd been past on the train, but I'd not realised how grand Leeds city centre is. A big block seems to have escaped bombs and 60s town planners. Nice city, lucky Yorkshire people!

West Smethwick Park has been done up nicely. The Chance memorial is cool, you can still see the old Chance glass works from the canal or motorway, they made decorative patterned glass for e.g. Doors for around the world. Only annoying thing is the litter in the park, UK is grubby...

Found this 94-year-old copy of The Architectural Review at last weekend’s garage safari in Kingsdown. It’s focused on the BBC’s Broadcasting House in London and contains some great photos and adverts. Will share some in this thread and more over the days ahead 🧵

Looking for a lightswitch in a lecture theatre today, came across some cool features. Something about all this old technology wired up, but unusable now. One day maybe I'll have a @wowhaus.bsky.social with wood panelling and cool switches and plugs.

Kids playing in the stream at Leasowes. Magical place, just hidden down from roads and DIY stores. Thomas Jefferson visited when a formal garden said: 'Shenstone's Leasowes is the simplest and plainest, but the most rural of all. I saw no spot so small that exhibited such a variety of beauties'

Finally getting round to Power Fantasy vol 2 by @kierongillen.bsky.social , after initially hearing it recommended on @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social podcast and getting the amazing first vol. No spoilers, but this page in vol 2 stopped me in my tracks. So cynical. So utilitarian.

Oh nothing, just a peer reviewed paper my colleagues found... doi.org/10.1016/j.ma... "1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min." Even AI knows what's wrong here, but @elsevierconnect.bsky.social doesn't.

Would parties get votes saying dodgy automatic plate recognition car parks are all rent seeking drains on the real economy and harming high streets? You try and pay but mess it up, or are 5 minutes over, or you miss a sign hidden somewhere, and suddenly you owe £60 (or £100 unless you pay quick)

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social In the 90s as a young kid we lived next to Chris Patten, we got all their second hand kids wellie boots, for a decade after our boots had 'PATTEN' written in marker. Dad says he went out for a smoke once and bumped into an armed security guy hiding in a garden bush
