Another excellent #economics video from one of my favourite photography channels. It's so important to hear real stories from manufacturers and importers right now. Americans will be facing be tough times in the weeks and months ahead. youtu.be/tbD-sQXAeCg?...

If you have any interest in Ukraine, you will undoubtedly have come across the insightful analysis offered by @mikeclarke2020s.bsky.social who is now doing a weekly 45 min Q&A on Sky. I cant recommend it highly enough. youtu.be/TsQ_eRskaIY?...

My tomato plants are coming along nicely. Grown from seed in my raised beds, the tallest about 30cms tall now. I botched together a trellis out of some spare timber and garden twine I had lying around. I then covered it all with a fine mesh net to keep out birds and pests. #gardening

Who pays tariffs? In this case a US SME manufacturer does. Lee Morris explains how tariffs on Chinese-made photography gear and packaging hits his business directly. A clear, real-world example of how policy shapes pricing and competitiveness. Worth a watch. 🎥 youtu.be/jCS-LS4LUXk

I asked ChatGPT's new Monday feature whether Trump is as bad I fear. It gave a long winded answer but tits conclusion made me chuckle --- Bottom line? You’re just alive in a timeline that reads like a parody script rejected by Black Mirror for being “a little much.”

Whilst the world turns mad, I find solace in my garden. Today we had some Mulberries. But sometime soon I hope to see some strawberries in my new container

That was scary. I was in the lift on the ground floor about to back to our office on the 31st when the lift car shook and I had to hold on to the side. I thought I was feeling faint. Then, panic, everyone ran screaming out of the building. Saw one young lady who had fainted being carried out

I dont usually get many reactions to my posts here, so I was more than a little surprised to see this one blow up overnight. I’ve had so many responses and new followers that I haven’t had time to reply to everyone, but I will. In the meantime, thank you all for engaging! Grateful for the discussion

If you haven’t seen this yet, I highly recommend watching this piece by @mrjamesob.bsky.social. And no, I can’t think of an answer to that either—but it’s a very good question. Perhaps even an important one. youtu.be/NbLzagyqlGQ?...

Growing plants from seeds is very satisfying, here the first begonia has sprouted in the seed tray, and my tomatoes have begun to grow too. #gardening
