Constantin Brâncuși was born in Romania #OnThisDay in 1876; one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th c., Brâncuși created stunning images out of radically simplified & streamlined forms, such as "Sleeping Muse" (1910):

MIT is an outlier in many ways. I prefer using University of California as a reference.

Also, I appreciate the reference, but I disagree with most of the Demos piece.

Promise more than delivery is absolutely a problem. If UK universities spinouts delivered cash returns, there would be fewer financial issues. We need to do things differently.

Every university can be the basis for a small tech cluster. Almost all uni's have at least one capability. The process for producing companies is known. The challenges are uni interest and seed funding. The bureaucratic intransigence is substantial, sadly.

'Elect Trump to usher the socialist revolution' was precisely Bernie Sanders plan. Utterly disastrous.

Britain’s Story: The Next Chapter - BBC Royal Charter Review, Green Paper and public consultation

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.

Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

100%

A slight aside, but purity politics in the US had people not vote for Hillary, because 'they preferred Bernie'. Result was Trump elected.

I genuinely feel sorry for any decent person trying to be PM, facing the army of billionaire-funded right wing press determined to take them down.

Starmer, least worst? Not a dreadful situation.

US jaywalking laws predominantly were, and are, racist. Disproportionately enforced against non-whites. No crosswalks installed in diverse neighborhoods. Jaywalking tickets are misdemeanors, but missed court appearances etc are felonies. Echoes of Jim Crow.

Also, and I can't stress this enough, Starmer is not in the Epstein files and Farage is: many, many, many times

100%

It seems the US is so corrupt, it is dragging down the UK (cited influence of Epstein, Musk...)

Precisely what has occurred in the US.

Their Russian talking points are getting old...

Big news! Can the 8 RN T26 still be delivered on time? Does Govan have space, or would Norway provide some manufacturing facilities? Is RN shaky frigate situation more at risk?

And we always have the universities. Both of them.

That can't have been easy or comfortable. Much like operating Ajax...

Very vibrant pink-brown dove with indigo sky and gree ground, messy and bold

Fox face with some thick lines and luminous orangeness

Fox face with a more apricot bent. Grey curvy little fur depicting lines

I’ve put these three wee beasts on my website as originals for sale, if anyone might wish to snap them up.

Daily Mail: Starmer in a Pickle!
GB News: Keir chickens out in major U-turn!

Brilliant!

Putin will be delighted

✨☀️ A bit of inspiration for the dark days: sunrise at York Minster.

Putin = the arsehole in the middle

Wordy was creepy.

Hello! I just signed up for the Society for Hopeful Technologists.

Cropped front half of long eared gangly fox, with inky black eyes and nose, striding through greeny browny squiggles against a white background

Fox made of deep saturated reds and oranges, in a dog like sitting position looking towards you head slightly cocked against a background of bursts of orange, cyan and green

Heads of two boys or perhaps men, one close up in the centre with inky black eyelashes and splotches of red and cyan across his face and neck, behind him to the right a similarly textured boy staring vaguely in your direction, with Jesus Christ Superstar written at the top in crude bubble writing

Simple side view close up of a dove, wings up, who is partly ink and partly pastel, with an array of greens towards the top of him and red loops near where his feet would be

I’ve added the four recent inky drawings to my site as originals for sale, Friday seems like the right day for this kind of thing. (The dove is in the ‘doves’ gallery) Thank you for looking and reposts are v appreciated.
