A Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot downed a Russian Shahed drone without firing a shot. After running out of ammunition, the pilot made a risky maneuver, flying extremely close to the drone and using the jet’s airflow to force it out of the sky. 📹Tsaplienko

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

My desktop computer changes its background image every 30 mins, cycling through a folder of images I've collected from various sources. This photo by Sam Neill (yes, him) of a Morocco market is a favorite, because it looks like a 19th century oil painting.
Photo by Sam Neill, posted to his social media account in 2020. The image is of a Morocco market. The atmosphere is hazy, smoky, and shafts of sunlight peek through the canvas awnings overhead. A couple of people sit on a bench, facing away from us; several others mill around the various stalls, talking and doing business. The comosition of the image is painterly: it looks like something John Singer Sargent might have captured on a lazy summer afternoon.

Happy 56th anniversary, this unimprovable newspaper headline
News of the World headline: Nudist welfare man’s model wife fell for the Chinese hypnotist from the Co-op bacon factory. Article features paparazzo shot of a Chinese-English man, and the opening paragraph reads "I've just been talking to three of the most incredible people I've ever met". The rest of the text is too blurry to be legible
