How does Rachel Reeves' idea to get young people into a job, even if they have to be forced to accept one, square with the ILO centenary declaration on securing 'full, productive and freely chosen employment'? UK is a signatory.

I took two pictures of the same dandelion at Gladstone Park in NW London in 2009 that I chanced upon today and put them together as an exercise in depth of field.

WTF??? I will have to unsubscribe to my @politico.com newsletters, all of them, if they go through with that. I will NOT EVER waste time on news stories researched and written by EFFING AI.

My inspiration to photograph the tidal swimming pool at St. Malo, Brittany, is this photographer and this particular picture.

Saturday evening in Paris. Straight from a 2022 iPhone SE, no filters (just some straightening) and DEFINITELY #nogenAI. This world is amazing enough for those who can tear themselves away from their screens. Enjoy! Even on a screen. 😘

I am showing a few pictures in the collective exhibition 'Quinzaine de la Photographie' at the Villa Fulbert in Chartres from 14 June - 29 June 2025. Anyone in the area is welcome! :-)

I remember some people talking about this case as supremacist and a precedent favouring white straight men. Just out of interest, since when have women (black, white, CIS, LGBTIQ+) been "members of groups that historically have not faced discrimination"? 🤔

For once, we were told in advance what the lights on the Eiffel Tower would mean. But help me. This was supposed to be blue-red for the colours of PSG. Except if you are ‘behind’ the Eiffel Tower (a whole new idea since the Paris Olympics).

Evidently, that's a lifetime licence for MS Office '2019'. Which will stop being supported in how many years? One? Two? We are in 2025, aren't we? 🤔

I wonder about EU FoM and Green Deal given such prices for rail travel for the extended weekend before Easter. That's one adult and one senior (same price as adultbother?) for under 900 km of journey. Flixbus outbound only without extras. Should we rent a car?
