This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

There is no amount of open corruption that will wake up Americans. That family has realized this crucial truth. They broke Senate, media and Supreme Court. Nobody dares to stand up. We live in a Republic of fear and cowardice.

We seem to have lost the understanding that you study things because you want to know more about them, not because you want them to give you a job.

'Transferable skills' are so-called precisely because they are not career specific, my god.

The former Ascot Cinema (renamed in Gaumont in 1950), Anniesland, Glasgow. This is one of Glasgow's lost neighbourhood cinemas. There used to be so many of these local cinemas in Glasgow in the 1930s that it was nicknamed Cinema City.

East Lothian 20mph plea rejected by councillors

Residents on a main road into East Lothian’s biggest town have lost a five year long battle to have the speed limit on it reduced to 20mph. More than 50 people living on Ravensheugh Road, which lies at the south entrance to Musselburgh travelling from Prestonpans, signed a petition demanding the council overturn officers’ refusal to cut the 30mph speed limit on the road.

Today, The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin opens at AA Gallery in London! Curated by Sarah Shin and Harriet Jennings, the exhibition presents a selection of Ursula's maps, including some that have never been exhibited before.

A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name.

A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition.
