Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Local cycling advocacy group went to a meeting with the LA team about getting cycle lanes installed on a local road (previous Covid lanes on this road removed because one councillor didn't like them). Can't see the LA can argue against it from a cyclist safety point of view, anyway.

Absolutely had it with the dairy farm upstream from us. Two hours ago I was standing in a clear river, cutting back fallen trees. Came back to this. They know it will be heavy rain tomorrow, which will wash all this - and the dead fish - away.

Shutting down existing EV charging hardware, which has already been paid for, is the definition of government waste. But I don't hear DOGE doing anything about this… 🙄 electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Say what you will about kings but they used to die in hilariously gory ways. We haven't seen a proper traditional slapstick death in a long time, it's mostly boring old age instead of getting stabbed by an assassin hiding in the toilet while taking a shit and not being noticed til they began to rot

90% of our woodland is a wilderness of brambles. Why? dormice, wood mice, foxes, badger, crows, bank vole, woodpigeons, flycatchers, nuthatches, finches, starlings, thrushes, blackcaps, waxwings, pheasants, nightingales, robins, wrens, blackbirds, warblers, finches…

Still easing my way on here, so I thought I’d introduce myself more with some photos. I am a self taught undertaker in the UK. I’ve written a book published in US and UK about my work. This is photo is of a street funeral I did in 2012 for Michael a local homeless man who died on our streets.

Initially thought there was loads of nuns in the stands for this England match. Now I can see it's pissing down there I'm suspecting white rain capes may have been given out to spectators.

Plans to boost capacity at St Pancras are welcome. But the hurdles to run trains from London to 🇩🇪, 🇨🇭 and 🇫🇷 beyond Paris are elsewhere, as I explain in this piece for the iPaper inews.co.uk/inews-lifest... #CrossChannelRail

Another aspect of motonormativity is how car crashes are used in fiction as a deus ex machina way to get rid of characters without explanation. Everyone from the writer to the viewer understands that being killed by a car is just something that happens from time to time, outside anyone's control

Richard Young's 1978 portrait of the Jam outside Centre Point. Now its wildly expensive, lavishly beige apartments, a private club and residents' "wellness spa". But there's a framed print of this in the lobby, which is something.

Saw the preview tonight and this is well worth seeing. Some fascinating insights into Parr and his body of work. He’s a polarising figure but there’s no denying the impact he has had on photography.
