A dazzling ocean of tulips stretching endlessly in Hokkaido, Japan...

Really dig Yuko Gunji, a kintsugi artist in NYC. Kintsugi is the Japanese method of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer and gold. Instead of trying to make things look new again, it highlights the faults, showing how something can be beautiful even after it was broken. IG gunjiyuko.kintsugi

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do. They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

It's 30° in London and I hate this heat and I hate everyone who likes it. But dear God the amount of washing I'm getting out. Four loads already, lads. Washed and dried. The last one *bone dry* after 20mins on the line. My ancestors crying joyful tears in heaven. This must be what heroin feels like.

Reminder Reform UK Ltd is a private company. Nigel Farage is on track to install Govt as a Sovereign Corporation with himself as CEO at the helm, accountable to his shareholders rather than voters. Thread

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

If the UK government wants landmark developments that succeed long after the cranes are gone, we must embed culture, not just in buildings, but in budgets, metrics and leadership models.

"It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts me all over my body. And let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about I'm right or I'm wrong. Come on. It's just about the love of life, the care of your neighbour" - Pep Guardiola

Wow. #PepGuardiola certainly showed up with this speech 🇵🇸 #ManchesterUniversity

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL

Dear Labour: the public want more social housing, NOT a blank cheque for developers to build more luxury homes that only the richest can afford.

Our Media and the BBC are utterly corrupt.

One day you’re young and the next thing you know you’re setting your phone font size to “billboard”.

I know it's not the point (really not the point) but as a customer who pre-ordered and bought through Unbound it really sucks to know that the authors I thought I was supporting haven't seen any of the money I spent. I feel like I was used as a part of an elaborate scam. I felt like I was helping!

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social great to hear you featuring Paul Wood’s book on #6music 😊 He came to #RyebankFields Manchester looking for our rare #ManchesterPoplar and wrote about our rare #AspenGrove both are under threat of development by #ManMetUni www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/features/asp...

Social media isn’t infrastructure We need to URGENTLY move public info like school info, council info, emergency info off Meta , Twitter and onto websites that are open access and verifiable. Putting info on socials locks many out, and it forces people into the meta/twitter disinformation mess

His arrival was foretold during the Pop Art movement.

The more educated you are, the more likely you lean left politically. That's because an education teaches you that your culture is not the only valid culture. Much of what we consider "true" is arbitrary social custom. Pluralism is built into education, not because of bias, but because that's life.

A single line poem

Why is there a 2 child cap for everyone else, but a 3 child cap and 5x the money per child for MPs? AND they can still claim normal Child Benefit as well. Stop these outrageous benefits.
