My first time on a train since January and struck me just now how much of train usage as a passenger is about Being Told Off. The endless threat of damnation for having the wrong ticket, for being in the wrong carriage, for travelling at the wrong time. Anyway, good morning.

Dotted around the multi-storey car park near Cathedral Walk you may notice mini sections of walkways, ladders, doors and railings. “Secret Industry” is a 2006 installation by artist John Pym and is intended to evoke the idea of a tiny, secret city hidden inside our own.

The smallest dragons are often the strangest. This tiny desert dragon imitates the local plant life (in both appearance and odour) in an attempt to lure passing insects.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

I'm a reasonable person, so I will accept drone deliveries if we get the traffic free roads (mobility scooters, buses and bikes only) that LTN scaremongers have promised us.
