Absolutely beautiful.

YouTube video by Cotswold ASMR An ASMR stroll through the Cotswolds - bimbling at the foot of Crane Hill.

Filmed one of my rambles, if you’re interested. Fifteen minutes of me, blathering on, as I wander through Cotswold farmland. youtu.be/pApxZpISLV8?...

Londinium.

Some fresh thatch art in the village.

Good morning.

Brenna Perez (@perezbrenna) on Threads We are replaceable. The U.S. film industry’s decline is a harbinger for what’s to come, in my opinion.

You might find this of interest. An interesting perspective on how the USA represents itself to itself and the rest of the world. www.threads.net/@perezbrenna...

Cool.

There’s an Icarus Flying Academy in New York. I kid you not.

MAGA was an insurgent force within the Rep Party. The left need a similar populist, media savvy movement; a blue-collar, groundswell. Trump had vivid messaging (“Build a wall”). The left needs an equally bold slogans, like universal healthcare. Mimsy equivocation ain’t going to cut it.

Wandering the lanes.

May I also recommend Abbott Elementary, The Good Place, and Inside Man.

No one else is plugging it, so I have to say something, lol.

Some of the cottages round here, the ones that haven't been spruced and gentrified, still give off pagan vibes.

Some people feel the Jaws sequels didn’t quite capture the essence of the original.

Out in the woods.

Blurry pics of the raptors that perpetually circle Crane HIll. A kite and a buzzard. Easiest way to tell them apart is tail. Buzzards have a spade-shaped tail. Kites are forked.

Same deal with portraying Captain America. The old USA is over. A strange new country has taken its place.

When they killed off Daniel Craig’s Bond they effectively ended that version of the franchise. They’ll need a new M, Q, and Moneypenny. And they have an even bigger problem: Trump/Musk is an event horizon. How do you portray the US intelligence agencies and their relationship with the UK’s M16?

Crossing the fields to Woolstone.

This is true 😂

No roads lead to Crane Hill. If you climb to the top, you're almost guarunteed to have it to yourself. Just you and the crows.

Out in the fields.

Interesting. Social democratic countries might be able to adjust to a rising elderly/infirm population and the economics of de-growth, but I worry hyper- capitalist societies will will get a bit Logan’s Run.
