Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Physiognomy has been debunked as a pseudoscience repeatedly, basically every time it rears its ugly head. The last time it properly did, millions died.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Drax receives subsidies for burning wood to produce electricity. £869m last year. £458.6m a year for 2027-2031. UK Govt not taken equity stake.

Boundary
Ovillers, Somme, France.
Formed in 16 days from 1/7/1916, expanded during the battlefield clearances. It sits on the downward slope of the rise. I first saw it through some trees, white laced chalk staining from trenches dug here, a ghost in the soil until the crops push through.

Not really sure what 'the right' think they should get people to study, self-help books on buy-to-let, Atlas shrugged, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Mein Kampf. Yum, dreary.
This is weird. I went to a big comprehensive in Newcastle in the mid nineties and we absolutely did talk about those things as part of learning at A level. Absolutely set me up for a lifetime of interesting readings of things and not being a reductive pillock scared that culture isn't a monolith

Today’s cactus is the first in a while because I ran out of space, but I sold one of my children, so now there’s room for more. It’s a Myrtillocactus geometrizans (blue myrtle cactus, or blue candle). Grows big, branches eventually, this one has twice already hence buying it. Homeland is Mexico.

Another series of prints. This one is Vanishing Points, shot between 2012 and 2017 on the Western Front.
Lost Light
Bernafay Wood, Montauban, Somme, France.
The wood is full of pits and hollows below the brambles and bracken. A haunted and haunting woodland tracts in a flowing landscape.

When I see an advert I just think 'fucking capitalism trying to flog me overpriced dishwasher tablets and spoiling Lovejoy'. I also just don't think about what colour anyone is in anything, if you do that the problem is inside you, not outside with the rest of us. She can get fucked.
Something I can't get over with the Sarah Pochin comments is that it's not just racist, it's also pathetic? Like oh wittle Sarah doesn't like the wittle adverts is it? Get a grip, you're a grown woman and member of parliament, stop being a snowflake and find a real problem to deal with

Fairly mammoth soft restoration project is nearing completion. It’s cleaned, refreshed, solid, and midway through having way too many drawer says put back in. All bar three were missing. Fantastic object looking far better than when it entered the building.
