Visit to Angers for the day. Found this colourful statue by artist Niki Saint Phalle. #angers #sculpture
A bright statue which looks like a tree trunk with multiple necks and mouths coming off it, a little like sock puppets.

From today, large fashion companies across the EU can no longer destroy unsold clothing and footwear. Products must be reused, donated, recycled or otherwise recovered, while firms face new transparency duties.

The EU has banned the destruction of unsold clothing by companies in the EU. Currently £140 million of new clothes are sent to landfills every year in the UK instead of being given away. It needs to be banned in the UK too.

I'm in Bordeaux for a few days, it is once again super hot here (38C today). The Bassin d'Arcachon is closed, evacuated last night, due to forest fires. You can see the smoke from Bordeaux. The air smelt of camp fired this evening and ash was falling from the sky.

Reform UK have tabled an amendment to the UK Government’s elections Bill which would mean candidates using any language except English or Welsh would face up to six months in prison. This is outright discrimination, and we will stand firmly against such prejudice and ignorance.

I love these pedestrian traffic lights on the pavements they have in Korea. You can be glued to your phone and still know when it's safe to cross.
A picture of a road at night. By the pedestrian crossing there is a strip of red lights embedded in the road. The lights turn green when it is safe.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Important to remember about Star Wars: The Rebellion were the criminals in society, the good guys fighting for what was right, for freedom from oppression. The Empire were the "law abiding" citizens and the law enforcement, the bad guys oppressing it's people under draconian law. Be a Rebel.

Bottom panel shows close-up of two people holding microphones - man in burgundy jacket on left and woman with reddish hair wearing sash on right. Man's response reads: "That's a tough one.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holidaying in Lisbon. We stopped at the viewpoint "Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara" which had lovely views over to the castle. We got some overpriced drinks and tapas, the highlight for me being this gentleman prepare our delicious sliced meats.

I was recently given an Astromaster 130 telescope and this evening found Jupiter. Seeing the moons for myself was such an amazing feeling. I could almost imagine the utter marvel that Galileo must have felt 400 years ago. Poor quality photos attached. #telescope #astronomy #jupiter

Can anyone advise on a trip to Slovenia? I was thinking 4 days Ljubljana then a week near lake Bohinj and the Triglav nat. park. Hoping for some culture in the capital and some pretty nature elsewhere. Happy to hire a car and drive. Could even do a farm stay!

I have an idea for a lil fun-traumatic indie game where you play a parent trying to put your newborn to sleep in a pram and you have to avoid all loud noises or the baby wakes up and you LOSE. The only rule is that it’s literally impossible to win. Now I just need to find some nerds to make it…
