For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

There was a Futurism exhibition in London à few years ago - missed it
Fascinating ethos behind it

Recent highlight of the @coolbikeart1.bsky.social feed: fantastic painting by Enzo Benedetto from 1926 in the Second Wave of Italian Futurism. #procycling

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Dear friends, do me a favour and please spread the word on this. Times are tough, but so is this record...
I've not plugged this in a while, but if you still haven't got yourself a copy of my Rodigan endorsed Sleng Teng rework of Eddie Cochran's Somethin' Else, then what are you waiting for? rongorongorongo.bandcamp.com/album/someth...

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

Not sure what was happening last night, thousands of birds gathered in the trees having a party at the airport.
My wife said she’s seen the same earlier in the evening near home

At LHR, waiting for the flight back to Toulouse. such a cracking saturday night at @ono-ch1.bsky.social
Such a great vibe and cracking tunes. A massive slap on the back to all involved, was a privilege to be able to attend.
Can’t wait to get in my bed! A bit knackered to say the least

As every Remembrance Sunday, a thought for my grandfather, lieutenant Henri Auclair, a Verdun veteran who fought in the trenches throughout all of WWI, died in 1999, aged 103, and taught us about the insanity of war and the necessity to embrace the European ideal.
