I don't think Arteta trusts Merino. Would like to say Arteta sees MM as a midfield Director. But one suspects MM will be somewhat unhappy between where he thinks he should play and where Arteta thinks he should play. His back heel though was sharp thinking.

I saw this cat become a 'kinetic philosopher' with a full grip understanding what both causality and consequence are. Underestimate cats at our peril. bsky.app/profile/danc...

If my owner gets angry for this little mischief, I'll tell her that I was resting peacefully when the dog tried to push me off the table and pulled the flour bowl on himself. My friend, who is now become black and white, won't tell on me because he's afraid of my claws.🐈🐕

I have been to England for my schooling and tertiary education, been there as a tourist on numerous occasions, and in latter life as an immigrant. I left it all behind, the RW culture, the oppression, ruined millions of lives. I wanted it for its landscape and left due to its controlled destruction.

I read your bio, "...recovering Tory." Yet you sound like a centrist, so economics and culture opened your eyes. Britain was hollowed out and its potentiality fleeced by the Tories. Anglophone countries are corporate elite captured. The NL is different since it synthesizes community and

#auspol Why are the Dutch elections interesting for Australia. The surprise rise of the D66 party. "Democrats 66 a social liberal and progressive party on the centre to centre-left." One wonders if there will be a new party between the Greens and the demonstrably RW ALP?

the music made a mark on society. As a teenager I felt quite odd identity was so contingent on others. Recall, Beatles 'White Album' was passed around in the bus ('73) with the commentary of mates regarding how well the Beatles and their music was & incredibly meaningful, we all agreed.

The Rex Whistler mural, re: racism depiction, at the Tate reminded one of the colour palette Flemish Primitives and many others used in the early Renaissance. The lighting in the first pic is quite strong, halogens? I hope the glass cover is good enough to prevent UV rays. Many won't.

Tate members restaurant, now a visitors space. The mural behind the seated diners is Rex Whistler's 'The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats' is reminiscent in part of Flemish primitive painters turquoise and sandy colour palette. The mural is criticised for its racist depiction of Africans and Chinese.

This is what Britain saved via renewables. If this isn't sufficient data to convince you about the essential need for renewables you must be in the Liberal or National Party. Where the payoff must be sufficiently greater than the extra cost your power gen bill would entail.
