Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We've had our house more than 10 years now, and I have only just learned that windows have a winter and summer setting. Been moaning about drafty windows for years! 🤦‍♂️

Our Nighthawks exhibition will open at Newcastle City Library on 3 March next year and is now open for bookings from May 2027 onwards.

I am more and more convinced that Kessler Syndrome is the correct solution to the Fermi Paradox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler...

How to pay for parking.

My apologies to anyone else who’s old enough not to want to be reminded just how fucking long ago it was, but: today is the 41st anniversary of the release of Cloudbusting—so it must be time to tell you about Wilhelm Reich and his orgasmatron...

Just a casual reminder that this is what a games company looks like rather than a software company. They don't make them like this anymore. If you want games that you can buy and keep without paying Forever subs, you need to support companies like this. Also. It's a great game

Answer: metal never on metal, nor colour on colour. Gold and silver are the metals, so a gold lion on silver breaks it. The point is contrast. Famous exception: Jerusalem, gold crosses on silver. Which house in your campaign breaks the rule?

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

23,000$ fundraised over the the past 14 hours 50000$ left to go. Your donations, likes and reposts are extremely helpful.

One of the other advantages to this approach to exhibitions is that it gives you total editorial control. amateurphotographer.com/latest/get-y...

Some ~personal~ news: After five years, I have been laid off from @the-independent.com. I am grateful for the time I have had there. With that in mind, I am absolutely looking for new work opportunities, especially ahead if the midterms. My email is EMGarcia2009@gmail.com. My signal is emgarcia.85

My conversation with @iamstevenhale.bsky.social ended up being much more in-depth than expected, so in a Handbasket first, I published the full audio of our interview so you can hear the parts not captured in print. It’s like, a half Rogan long. Listen here (+ excuse the shoddy audio):

Happy 90th birthday, Brian Blessed Sorry, that should read: HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY, BRIAN BLESSED

Grid salad

"In this building lived and worked journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Killed 7 October 2006"

I guess this is the week Bluesky answers this vital question

IDK about you guys, but I use Wikipedia multiple times a day, every day, and I value them highly. Even if you're tight, it's worth it to give at least the minimum. =================== I support Wikipedia, where information is still human-created, fact-checked, and 100% free. donate.wikimedia.org

Anyway. This is why technically, in pure mileage terms, the route from my house to my school (on the other side of town) as a kid in Stevenage was SHORTER by bike than it was by car. And the two routes ran parallel most of the way. But I only needed to go on an actual road for 150m of it.

Tonight the football was secondary. Here’s Johnnie Jackson’s tribute to the legend that is Mikey T 💛💙

Free event in Baltimore 🇺🇸 this Tuesday, 6pm, with the great Molly McCloskey: www.theivybookshop.com/event/sally-...

Specifically shouting out: @jerodmacevoy.com at AZ Mirror, @josepagliery.bsky.social at Washington Sun, @emilybregel.bsky.social at AZ Daily Star, and @sahanjournal.bsky.social. Plus, in the MSM world, @reuters.com has been great.

Jewish human rights barrister, 94, arrested for supporting Palestine Action www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

This is written to fly under the radar, from today’s Sunday Independent (Ireland). The press council upheld a complaint about an offensive and transphobic opinion column by Brenda Power. Sindo was required to publish the decision. @mams4transrights.bsky.social @jesalady.bsky.social

@irishtimes.com There's a great piece today by Keith Duggan on Christa Pike that is every bit as depressing that you knew it would be. Please highlight this.

@theguardian.com I contribute to you more than I need in a monthly sub because we have to counter the billionaire press. But with that sub comes expectations of fairness and relevance. Freedom of the press is just that, we don't have the bandwidth for these kind of prejudices.

BREAKING: Massive Attack’s Rob Del Naja arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Labour Party conference venue. The legendary musician was arrested after peacefully holding “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on a paper sign on the eve of Labour’s conference.

This year has been brutal, and like most people you probably want to do more about climate change. But what, and how? Great news – I’ve written just the book for you! It’s called What One Person Can Do and it’s a clear and simple how-to guide, a roadmap to help you make influential changes...

Why did it take Michael O’Leary 10 days to cop on that his comments on rape were wrong?

I am contacting Talon Air to let them know about the decision.

@guygavrielkay.bsky.social Have to admit I can't remember if I read Tigana, and probably won't know for a few hundred pages. This is for my Dead Library where I'm trying to recreate what I had 30+ years ago including the right EU edition and cover. This is the original Penguin from 1990.
