We had a day off. But it was just a day. Now, back to the deluge. Try not to step on any travelling frogs.

Everyone is walking around, intermittently looking up in a happily dazed kind of way. The last time the sky looked like this around here was sometime in January

Lots of nervous laughter in the gallery at this part of a restored 16mm film clip, where Lee Miller interacts with this sculpture by Constantin Brâncuși the way anyone would if we were allowed to touch them

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

It has rained so much for the last two weeks that when I got home last night there was a frog sitting by my front door. A FROG.
It was so comfortable in the rain, it was still sitting in the same spot when I looked out two hours later (still raining) :/

The very existence (let alone the wording) of this consultation is an outrage, but please fill it in anyway, it doesn't take long.
PS. Not too late to tell the government what you think about their proposed changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain - the public consultation is open until 12th Feb.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.
But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.
Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.
Vote Green.

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

If you are baffled by why the jury refused to convict the Palestine Action defendants, it's because – unlike them – you didn't hear the actual evidence. You heard what the media wanted you to know.
