Frustrated artist. A life trashed by (very) late diagnosed AuDHD (ADHD + ASD). And misophonia. Angry and depressed by 14 years of destructive Tory rule.

Greenpeace + Friends of the Earth making the obvious yet overlooked point that if government approves new oil fields, runways, cuts to clean tech grants, and watered down EV targets then it's hard to take its commitment to net zero all that seriously. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537926...

A couple of images from ongoing attempts to create oil paint sketches from observation. Approximately 5 by 7 inches on oil painting paper using water mixable oil paint.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Jackdaw doesn't matter in practical terms: it's a rounding error in emissions. But: it will do absolutely nothing to improve the UK's "energy security", nor to make UK energy prices any cheaper. So it's a step in the wrong direction on climate, for no actual benefit. That's not great.

I guess that, unlike with Brexit where daft fantasy seems endlessly sustainable, Trump’s awfulness becomes objectively undeniable at some point. Notable how many reverse ferrets involve zero self-examination or remorse. This is very good…

FATHERLAND (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2026). Elegantly acted, impeccably directed, beautifully shot & framed, this melancholic, deeply affecting portrayal of Thomas & Erika Mann’s journey to both sides of a divided Germany in 1949 is an exquisite gem. Very much in the tradition of COLD WAR & IDA, >> #LFF
