In love with this book, Pemmy’s Alphabet Book, made in 1942-5 in the Japanese internment camp Brastagi in east Sumatra. Though handiwork & books were banned, Mies Aalbersberg & other women embroidered the book as a birthday gift to Mies’ daughter Pem Hagers. Pem donated it to the Rijksmuseum in 2018

This automated account uses ADS-B data to log all detectable aircraft flying in or out of the US naval base and detention camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Guantánamo Bay is a large navy facility and most flights are likely to be routine cargo and troop transports, not transport of detained people.

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him. Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him. Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him. Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

Tonight a challenge - and it's not Lego related. Does anyone recognise the person in this photo? We're trying to help Charlotte Mason trace the owner of a GoPro she found back in 2022. The GoPro was found in Scotland, but Charlotte thinks the owner may be Italian.

Remember, Trump “negotiated” the Taliban deal, invited their leader to Camp David, & forced the Afghan government - sidelined from talks - to release 5,000 Taliban fighters, who quickly returned to battlefields. He strikes great deals for those who despise freedom and democracy.

Every day as we walk the beach we see at first hand the impact plastic pollution is having on the natural world. These photos, taken over the last week, show kelp stipes growing through/entangled with the remains of plastic bottles. #Anthropocene

Finally got round to counting all the plastic sunglasses/glasses (and fragments thereof) that we've picked up over the last few years. These are all from one beach. They don't float and have washed up from the seabed with the kelp after storms. How many do you reckon?

If Putin launches a nuclear attack on any NATO target, central London is the safest place to be. Russia owns several major assets there, including some who sit in parliament.

Europe doesn't need any more wake-up calls. It's awake. It's just very comfortable in its warm bed and procrastinating on getting up in the hopes something turns up to magically take care of all the chores it knows it should be getting on with.
