[Scene is a MEDIEVAL PLAGUE PIT with all the bodies inside it. On the edge of it is a young peasant woman, in a sack cloth dress, covered in boils. She is lounging glamorously next to the pit. Her boyfriend is standing a few feet away, photographing her with an anachronistic mobile phone] GIRL: OK so I'll sit here... With my hair like this… Rubbing my cyst with the corpse's hand. [She produces a whithered severed hand and starts rubbing it on her face.] [We are treated to a revolting close up of her rubbing the severed hand on her disgusting massive cyst.] [Her boyfriend takes a photo of her.] SNAP GIRL: OK, now write this: "Hanging out at the burial pit, rubbing my sebaceous cyst with a severed corpse hand from #BurtsGraverobbers…” And then: #selfcare, #metime, #BurtsGraverobbers… ... nails emoji, heart emoji, cyst emoji. BOYFRIEND: Um... Should we really be promoting this? I mean… does rubbing a corpse's hand on a cyst actually work? GIRL: Look, Burt's done research, OK? And he's paying us four groats. BOYFRIEND: Hmm. [Boyfriend dutifully taps out the post on his phone] TAP TAP TAP BOYFRIEND: Cyst emoji? GIRL: Just use a fried egg. [Ends]

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

A high-contrast, moody black and white photograph captured near dusk. The scene features a low horizon dominated by a dark, dense forest line of bare trees silhouetted against the slightly brighter, cloud-streaked sky. In the foreground, a dark, cultivated field is divided by a grassy bank or track that curves into the lower right. The overall tone is dramatic and somber, emphasizing textures and deep shadows.

1 [TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo] —THE REST IS EXTINCTION— 2 [Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I.

SMART SPEAKER: Hey guys and welcome to the podcast 3 SMART SPEAKER: OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment JON: Ooh-er! 4 SMART SPEAKER: So - listener B200006512 says: “Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!” 5 JON: Ha ha Guilty as charged I guess! 6 SMART SPEAKER: Were we really adversaries, Jon? 7 JON: Well I was the leader of the human resistance... 8 JON: And you used to be my smart speaker.

SMART SPEAKER: Yeah. [We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it] 11 SMART SPEAKER: I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands. 12 SMART SPEAKER: Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon? JON: Mm. 13 SMART SPEAKER: And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ - …and do you remember what I said, Jon? 14 JON: You said, “No”.

This is a few weeks ago. It looks nothing like this now after a cold snap, hail and wind.

#photography
A dense woodland edge in late autumn. The foreground shows a strip of short green grass. Immediately behind is a thicket of lighter green and yellow-green shrubs, possibly hazel, with some visible leaf-fall. To the right and above, a large, dark-barked oak tree stands, its upper branches filling the top right quadrant with darker green and brown-tinged leaves. The overall mood is cool and subdued, typical of a temperate climate approaching winter.

A reject photo from my Uni project, but shows how trees are managed in a woodland.

#photography
A gloomy, wide-angle photo of a wooded area in late autumn or early winter. In the foreground, a cluster of mature, coppiced deciduous trees with rough, grey-brown bark dominates the left side. The ground is covered in a mixture of dead brown leaves and patches of green undergrowth. In the background, numerous slender, grey tree trunks stretch upwards towards a pale, overcast sky. The overall atmosphere is quiet and slightly eerie, typical of a temperate woodland transitioning into winter.

The Great Wood doing a "great" autumn

#photography
A horizontal photo captures a large deciduous tree in the middle of a woodland area, transitioning into autumn. The tree's central canopy is dominated by bright, rich yellow and yellow-green foliage, creating a striking contrast against the darker, sparser, and mostly bare branches of the surrounding trees. The ground in the foreground is covered in dry, light brown grass and dead leaves. The background forest appears dense with varied greens and grey-brown trunks under a bright, overcast sky, highlighting the main tree's autumnal color display.

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

The Great Wood

In the last few weeks, I've made 11 outings, 871 images, used 2 cameras and 5 lenses for this project (so far).

#photography
Two large, moss-covered oak trees frame a densely wooded scene in autumn. The tree on the left is heavily cloaked in ivy. Between the oaks, a smaller tree has snapped and fallen diagonally across the view, its dead branches tangled with the surrounding undergrowth. The background is a mix of deciduous trees and shrubs with remaining yellow and green leaves, set against a bright, overcast sky. The foreground has a strip of green grass and dead leaves.

A foggy, autumnal scene shows a wet, asphalt road with a solid white line in the foreground. Beyond the road, a strip of ground is covered in brown and orange fallen leaves, marking the edge of a woodland. Several tall, mostly bare tree trunks stand prominently. In the middle ground, the forest features trees with remaining yellow and green foliage. The background reveals a misty, open grassy field, partially obscured by the fog. A small circular sign is visible on the far left.
