'Misty Morning, River Thurne, Norfolk,' (c1960) is a striking example of Edward Seago's mastery of watercolour, a work in which you can sense the magic of being on the river just after the break of dawn - a sense of timelessness.

Pervasive plastic pollution: how do we manage this global crisis? Is enough being done at the Global Plastics conference to stem the tide of plastic pollution?

Is it too late to end plastic pollution?

Have we contaminated the world and ourselves too much?

Trump just vowed to sex-test every female Olympian in 2028. Thatโ€™s rightโ€ฆmandatory genital inspections. New task force already in motion.

Personally, Iโ€™d love to see every country refuse to come to the Olympics in 2028โ€ฆand announce itโ€ฆnow.

Meme in two parts.
Top has a basic white anthropomorphic figure boldly stepping forward onto a rake, which hits him in the face. It's labelled "Republicans".
Bottom is a coloured drawing showing a sequence of a guy trying to use the rake as a skateboard doing a trick going down stairs. At the bottom, he lands on it - and it hits him in the face. It's labelled "Democrats".

My painting camouflage. It shows a cardboard box or possibly a concrete block with "Not-a-monster hotel and spa" written on it. The hole/doorway has teeth and we can clearly see a monster poorly hiding behind it.
