In 1956, IBM shipped a 5MB hard drive that weighed over a ton. Back then it needed a forklift and a cargo plane—today, that’s less space than a single iPhone photo.

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 17d

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.

So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

#Woodensday The beauty of the wooden lectern in the chapel at Rodmarton Manor, Gloucs, prompts hyperbole.

I will resist with difficulty.

The label on the lectern says that it is by Peter Waals, Dutch cabinet maker & Arts & Crafts luminary.

The 2026 Senedd Election is becoming a very direct battle between two identities, Welsh Wales and British Wales. This map nearly reflects exactly the general state of play 1081-1284, the division between the areas ruled by Welsh princes and those by conquering Anglo-Norman barons.

The UK’s birth rate is dismal, although nowhere near Korea’s 0.7, for 2024 in England and Wales it was 1.41, a record low and a decrease from 1.42 in 2023.

Ironic that the typeface used is the classic expression of European modernism – Neue Haas Grotesk/Helvetica

I heard that the measure between life and death or awake and sleep, is not a hair's breadth, rather it’s a hare’s breath. Sweet dreams Hookland.

I had the feeling I'd caught the lion doing something he shouldn't be when I entered the porch at St Mary and All Saints, Fotheringhay. That's the guiltiest expression I've ever seen!

This heraldic roll was made during the reign of Henry VIII, c.1529/30. The shields are emblazoned in their proper colours & the names of the families to whom they belong are written above. Shields are painted on the front & back – some 420 in total. The roll measures approximately 12ft in length.

A heraldic roll, with 5 shields per row, all from different houses.

Early 18thC royal arms flanked by the Maynard/Grey arms at All Saints, Newtown Linford.
Supported by a Satyr and ermine patterned unicorn they're on the chancel beam with rather attractive dangling coronets (I rather hoped one might conveniently drop off into my handbag)

Over 50,000 locally made #medieval tiles once covered the floors at Great Malvern Priory,

During restoration the Victorians lifted many of them from the floors and relocated them on a wall known as the “Benefactors Wall”
