You pretty much nailed it. I closed it but saw a screenshot of it elsewhere.

Well that’s certainly one way to promote your personal channel.

He’s certainly managed to get a lot of groups talking…

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

My head’s been a real jumble this past week. Just a lot seemingly going on all at once, and then the way the stresses, anxieties and uncertainties all manifest themselves, spiralling away. Thankfully things are a lot cooler today.

A couple of really neat ones around here are Browne’s Folly and Sham Castle (below, remaining true to the very meaning of the word ‘sham’) :D

One of the weirdest trends between the European nobility of the 18th and 19th centuries was to build "artificial ruins" in their gardens and states. Like, buildings that only had the purpose to look like an ancient ruin, just because.
They are a type of "folly", a building without a practical use.

Tata Castle Ruins. Tata, Hungary. Built by Charles de Moreau (1758-1841). It imitates the ruins of a Romanesque church, and uses the stones of a real ruin, the remnants of the early 12th century Abbey of Vértesszőlős.

"The amphitheater", in Maria Enzersdorf, Austria. Artificial ruin built as a lookout point for John I of Liechtenstein. Built as designed by Josepha Hardtmuth in 1810/1811.

The Temple of Philosophy at Ermenonville in Oise, France. This folly is part of the park that the marquis René-Louis de Girardin begun to create in 1765. This building was left unfinished on purpose, symbolizing that knowledge would never be complete and that philosophy will progress.

Castle in Hagley Park. Worcestershire, England. Used to be part of the gardens of Hagley Hall. It was started in 1747. It was designed by Sanderson Miller for George Lyllelton to look like a small ruined medieval castle.

Need to make £200 to cover some bills for the month.
So until that goal is hit, all full body commissions (Halloween or not) are £50 each.
Busts are £20.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

It’s crossed my mind a few times in the last three years to keep a log of translations of all the niche vocab I come across… but, ugh, not once have I started anything.

joam 🔜 #FBL13 @badgyote.bsky.social · 4d

A crazy wave of vocab with this book, in just the last few pages : titubant, poisseux, pusillanime, bégaiement, s’abriter, accabler, guet-apens, fourvoyer, andain, contreplaqué, héritier, lapidaire, nombrilisme, échafaud, étourneau, ruisselant, joncher…

Google Translate was bouncing tonight.

Stretch more. Drink more water. Unless you’re already active as-is, your body will be angry with you if you try to do things, like bend over to pick up something. Take care of your body. 🫂❤️

A good few months since I last stuck a CD on. Bit of a disservice considering how many of them I have hanging around. This evening felt right for this one at least.
