Happy birthday Ben from Bristol, England!

A photo of a sandy beach on the Isle of Eigg, off the north-west coast of Scotland. There are gentle waves lapping on the sand stretching into the blue sea in the distance. There are green hills on the right of the photo while further beyond there are mountains silhouetted against the blue sky. Photo taken by Corinne Thompson.

A photo taken looking out to sea on Handa Island, off the north-west coast of Scotland. The photo is tinged orange by the setting sun which is sitting low in the sky and directly in the centre of the shot. In the foreground there is rocky patches of grass while beyond the sea stretches away to silhouetted mountains on the horizon. There are two people standing on the grass also silhouetted in the light. Photo taken by Danni Thompson.

A photo taken from the cliffs on Handa Island off the north-west coast of Scotland. The photo is looking across to another rugged cliff face topped with scrubby green grass. The clif is stained white in multiple places indicating seabird nests. Below, the sea is deep blue with large areas of white water where the sea meets the rocky shore. Photo taken by Dannin Thompson on the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Handa Island Wildlife Reserve.

A photo taken of Boulders Bay on Handa Island, off the north-west coast of Scotland. In the foreground, there is a rocky beach scattered with large boulders. Closer to the sea there are patches of seaweed clinging to the rocks. Beyond, the sea stretches round the rocky island coast, reaching silhouetted mountains on the mainland in the distance. Photo taken by Camilla Blasi Foglietti.

Matthew Rhys Is In Talks With Netflix Over Adaptation Of Robert Caro’s ‘The Power Broker’ Matthew Rhys is in talks with the streamer over the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

Intrigued by the idea of Matthew Rhys starring in a Netflix limited series adaptation of THE POWER BROKER, but honestly you could do 6-8 hours just on the Cross Bronx Expressway or Robert Moses vs. Jane Jacobs.

Liam Shaw | Metabolic Magic Streptomycetes are soil bacteria that could easily be mistaken for fungi, their cells snaking through the earth in long...

More than tax or public services, Labour’s singular pitch - to the electorate, investors and allies - was the promise of a decade of stable technocratic leadership after the “Tory psychodrama”. A party incapable of delivering that is going to have to find better pretexts than “but my activists”

Terrorism! Torture! Oppression! Liberation! Defeat! Victory! This week we're watching the movie that has it all: The Battle of Algiers. Is it a training film for rebels or counter-insurgents? How does it manage to be, in the words of Roger Ebert, "both passionate and neutral"?

Harry Wingfield, of the Ladybird books and others, is among the most underestimated illustrators of C20.

One of the best exhibitions I have been (I have been to 100s) was a retrospective of his original work in Walsall.

This is the book that @mrjamesob.bsky.social just discussed with #RussellScott. In a sane country, the Tories would be finished for good

Deep water swallowing a few volunteers for a moment.

Volunteers in ankle deep water slashing and pulling invasive Himalayan balsam.

Lots of Himalayan balsam laying on the ground, slashed and pulled from a river edge.

Today an army of volunteers from Bristol River Avon Trust and @protect.earth joined forces to smash Himalayan Balsam on the Bristol Frome. The group of 40 volunteers cleared from Iron Acton to Frampton Cotterell, joining up with existing local groups work through Yate to the source at Doddington.

Will you be covering this counter-insurgency classic?

17 July 1944 | Jane Haining, a Church of Scotland missionary in Budapest perished in the German Nazi Auschwitz camp.

Her last message to friends was a postcard asking for food. She ended her letter with the words: “There is not much to report here on the way to heaven.”

They struggled with Kuntz too.

My Austrian neighbour was appalled by my mispronunciation of this.
