Looking Eastwards is my ongoing artwork where I document the view down the lane from my house.

No sign of the #Aurora last night in my corner of the South Downs Dark Sky Reserve, but yesterday morning there was a very brief, but scorchingly beautiful, sliver of a purple sunrise.

A view of a narrow road in the darkness, disappearing towards distant hills under a rich puple and orange sunrise that is illumating the underside of a bank of thick grey cloud.

the BBC and why it needs defending
even if you don't always agree with it, and sometimes it does things that you think are outright terrible

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Beautiful photo of a stunning piece of slow art, caught by @damianward.bsky.social with the uplifting back story told here by Emma Croman.

A black and white photo by Damian Ward. The photo is line of shells, place deliberately across a stress of shingle beach, in singlr file from the houses in the background to a pair of concentric circles in the ofreground. It is a slow art work made by a pair of women who started as a mediative exercise while they were undergoing cancer treatment.

Amazing list - I thought I was well informed, but I've only seen one of them - thank you Aaron.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

"If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties."⁠

Billie gave $11.5 million of her tour proceeds to charity so she's got the moral high ground. I bet she'd support a sensible wealth tax so it's not voluntary.

Private Eye nailing it.
A story in Private Eye, headlined "Minority representation on TV causes outrage". The article reads: "There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television."
