Cross eyed cat too close to the lens.

Accidentally took one with a flash.
He looks like a freshly divorced man’s profile pic on Plenty of Fish.

In a seaside landscape, a skeletal figure tugs at a man in oilskins as they stand in the water, just off the beach. Gray, stormy clouds in the sky, and a tower or lighthouse stands in the distance.

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

Little tree, with many dangling flower tassels. I was told it is ‘as rare as rocking horse manure’ when I bought it.

Love this tree, and this year it is just dripping with flowers. I forget what it’s called.

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

“Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.” A subheading underneath says: “Ofgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.”

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.

Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.

We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.

Kossoff and Freud buoy up London's big auctions Sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s rebounded impressively, even as the situation in the Middle East worsened, writes Anna Brady

‘With a war in the Middle East still raging, who would be thinking about buying art? Quite a lot of people, it turns out.’

Anna Brady rounds up the spring sales results

I have been designing some alternatives which I think you’ll agree are infinitely more superior. 👍

Where Light in Darkness Lies, two sided wave one side in light the other side in darkness. Framed in warm dark wood Left side in frame Right side in frame

Love this framed. I was very unsure about this painting, until a fellow artist sung its praises. Now it is framed, I love it.

My view as I opened the curtains, earlier. Prolific pale pink splodges on the magnolia, the woods in the background.

Our magnolia is about to pop

Proposed law change will protect abusive men who push women to suicide, campaigners warn Charity criticises new measures that would make it harder for inquests to pass verdict of unlawful killing Men whose abusive behaviour drives women to take their own lives are more likely to get away with their crimes because of proposed law changes, justice campaigners say. Ministers want to make it harder for inquests to pass verdicts of unlawful killing, which have been crucial in getting justice for women who committed suicide after suffering abuse.

A grey wave with skelly.

This was supposed to be an under painting but I love it. It is grey gloomy and has a skeleton, all made on purpose in response to someone trying to tell me how I should paint.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
