Just been to see One Battle After Another. Knockout!!!

What a delight to get my hands on a copy of Upon A White Horse by @peteralanross.bsky.social, published last week. It is a very fine book indeed. Get it here: linktr.ee/UponAWhiteHo... or at one of Peter's upcoming events!

A detail from: “The White Rose and the Red Rose” the 1902 panel by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.

A beautiful print to be enjoyed always: duille.com/whiteroseturin

Nvidia says Britain will have to burn gas to power technology revolution The company chief executive Jensen Huang says the UK’s costly electricity means new data centres will rely on fossil fuel as well as renewable energy

"Britain must burn more fossil fuels and bills must rise in order to power the robot that'll fire everyone. How else will I afford my next private island?"

Rushanara Ali has resigned as homelessness minister

It’s after she ended her own tenants' contract in order to sell up, but then re-listed the house for rent at a higher price within 6 mths: exactly what she’s trying to outlaw under Renters' Rights Bill

Such a sweet smile.

But people like me were walking along the main east-west avenue and those stopped and waiting were on the south side of it safely enough.

Nope, sorry, police weren’t very forthcoming. Three or four police vehicles at the eastern gate. When I got there, a pile of sandbags or equivalent at the north end of the cricket square in the northeast quarter of the park. Blast when it went off about the scale I would imagine of a land mine.

Trump photoshopping MS-13 onto Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles should be CRIMINAL and a MUCH BIGGER STORY!

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago.
