still from a lego video out of Iran showing a rocket with For The Children of Gaze on the side.
My paper "Circulatory Propaganda and the Rhythms of Digital Conflict in AI-Generated War Media" about the lego videos which have reached Tsunami levels on social media has been accepted as a preprint. You can find it here doi.org/10.31235/osf... #Iran #US #War #Lego #Memewar #Trump

A person wearing a white helmet rides an orange electric scooter along a quiet residential street. They wear a black jacket with a large white sheep graphic on the back. The scooter has a small toy hanging near the rear and a yellow license plate. In the background, there are older apartment buildings with balconies, hanging laundry, and concrete railings, while metal barriers and pipes line the edge of the road in the foreground.

Night-time cityscape seen from a moving vehicle, with blurred lights and reflections creating a soft, streaked effect. A cluster of high-rise buildings stands in the distance, their windows and outlines lit in white, blue, and red. In the centre, a tall tower glows faintly at the top, while to the right a large, brightly lit building with a curved roofline stands out. The foreground is dark and indistinct, suggesting motion along a road, under a hazy night sky.

The available evidence and a preliminary investigation by the US military all suggest that the US was responsible for the 28 February school bombing that killed more than 175 people, most of them children, but neither Donald Trump nor Hegseth has taken any responsibility, nor have they expressed any remorse. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/10/pete-hegseth-christianity-iran-war-crusade

As noted, not many of these Lego Iran videos are circulating here on BlueSky - but this one deserves to be seen.
Where is the outcry about these Minab Girls?

This is 1 of the 1st singles I purchased with my own money, from my paper round, I was 15 in 1969. It was at a book store that sold records (Smiths, in the UK) and they had to order it in.
Same message to the US today - don't send your boys and girls to war.

Its 07:00 Saturday Morning in #China. I'm up because I have to go to work. This is what they call a "make up day" a day to pay back the recent day off we had for the Qing Ming Festival. -Damn Communists!
Oh Well - #coffee

Heres a tune with a video featuring spacemen featuring a few clips of my favourite space man Yuri Gagarin - so this is for the crew of Artemis II - "To Infinity and Beyond!"
Pump up the volume

Your idea of lollipos is a good idea I have read that people who smoke are orally fixated (so blame your mum) But the evidence is you also work with your mouth and if you chew pens and pencils is another sign, I might be wrong, but you also need to do something with your hands too.

A large, ornate church with pale pink walls and multiple domed towers stands at the base of a wooded hillside in the Chinese countryside. The building’s European-style architecture contrasts with the surrounding landscape of green and autumn-coloured trees, rocky slopes, and scattered village houses. In the foreground, a quiet road runs past dense shrubs and small trees, while power lines stretch across the scene under a hazy sky.

An overhead view of a man standing on a grey tiled pavement, looking to his left with his hands on his hips. He wears a beige jacket, dark trousers, and sneakers. Beside him on the ground are two buckets—one white and one red—containing household items such as a small electric fan and a metal pot. A large red bag filled with belongings lies nearby. The scene suggests a worker or itinerant individual pausing with his possessions in an urban setting in Wenzhou, China.

Back to work today (Tuesday) and a reminder of the England I lived in (during Thatcherism) and the music that was the soundtrack to my youth - #Reggae. And Toots was always top of the list.

An abstract monoprint artwork titled “Shoal” depicting a group of fish swimming together. The fish are loosely defined with expressive, layered brushstrokes and textured marks in vivid colors including orange, red, yellow, purple, and hints of green. Their large, dark eyes stand out against the painterly forms, while their bodies overlap and angle in different directions, suggesting movement and the fluid motion of a shoal. The white background contrasts with the energetic, fragmented strokes, giving the composition a sense of depth, motion, and spontaneity.
I haven't done much #art recently so here's an old one for #AnimalArtTuesday - a series of monoprints named "Shoal" #artyear #Eastcoastkin
