'Lighted Houses, Amsterdam.' A critic, writing in 1921 (the year of this work) commented, Cees Bolding 'gives us out of very simple elements a perfect nocturne constructed from the domesticity of our back streets... he has complete hold of a subject and has made it his own.'

Got to wonder whether Musk’s attack on the UK is prompted by our firm support for Ukraine. If he’s in contact with Cummings this would make even more sense. His tech disruption coincides with Kremlin talking points. See regular attacks on @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

🚨🚨 This. This. Very much this. From a political and legal point of view, given current polling and any kind of electoral considerations it seems absolutely non-sensical for Labour to not be bolder and more ambitious its EU reset (read; no need to argue for #rejoin tomorrow). 👇
Oooooh. It’s a plot. 😱Those “secret paper” that were…checks calendar…written up in the FT 9 days ago.
Serious point: whatever Labour does re EU reset, it will get this puerile reception on the Right.
So. If you’re gonna cop the flack anyways, why not get something meaningful for your troubles??
