It was only in the 1960s Lawrence Toynbee began to get noted as an exhibitor with a run of shows at the Leicester Galleries in London. He was a fine painter and educator. This work shows 'Ice Skating, Oxford,' from around 1962.

"No doctor knows how to help me and for most of the time, none have even tried. Some of them even didn't believe me and said I was just lazy. I am abandoned and I've given up, honestly. I'm not the only one. I don't understand why no one will help us." - 12-yo living with Long Covid since 2020.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

This is what most uk voters haven't yet grasped: for as long as EU accession remains rescindable by simple vote in Parliament and not a constitutional settlement, the EU cannot trust that another Brexit may follow the next Rejoining. Fair Votes will ensure that a) constitutional referendums need

Couldn't agree more. Reform of national media ownership & Leveson2 would be my top priority. Then an elected 2nd chamber. Like it or not, only realistic path back to the EU is via PR. Only way to demonstrate a political consensus. Without media Reform & elected 2nd chamber there'll be no PR.

a 2:1 vote in favour; and b) all the UK nations must concur. Fair Votes will also increase the clout of pro-EU parties like Plaid, SNP & the LibDems. It's a sine qua non. The EU would do well to make it clear the accession is not a prospect till PR has been achieved.

NEW: Trump names Jared Kushnerโ€™s father Charles Kushner, as the next US ambassador to France. Jared is of course Trumpโ€™s son-in-law. Trump already pardoned Charles in the dying days of his first presidency for charges including illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.

Can we start a hashtag re: Trump, #AboveTheLawHeThinks or #TrumpIsNotOurNewKing we need to make clear that this is what he has tried to engineer - make it plain. And #AmericansDontHaveKings

Today in Parliament, I asked in what way can it be legally or morally justified to continue allowing UK parts for fighter jets that are being used to kill Palestinian children to be exported to an Israeli leader facing an arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity?

I don't want BlueSky to be an echo chamber for liberals. I want to hear from dissenters, from conservatives & communists, libertarians & anarchists, theists and atheists, Buddhists & materialists. I just don't want the abuse, doxxing, lies & manipulation that so much of the internet is poisoned by.

If this place becomes self-limiting, or Left-by-imposition, I'm off. My strongly held beliefs can withstand a few challenges, thanks, it's just I don't want to don a HazMat suit on the daily. Don't you want it to be a diverse club of thinkers? Is that too much to ask for?

Let's get to know each other a bit more: quite tweet this with your own version! 'Two truths and a lie': 1. I've had dinner with a wizard 2. I appeared naked on the Oxford Playhouse stage 3. I sold a case of Bulgarian red to John Thaw
