Pair of fighter jets just whizzed along Brighton beach. Slightly unsettling.

Waving 🌊👋. A new addition to the gallery this weekend. From a choppy swim out beyond the end of everything.

Out there somewhere Elon has a team of engineers working on a tiny, useless submarine to carry oil round the Straits of Hormuz.

A photograph taken on a calm day in the sea. It shows the very tops of a few vaguely recognisably Hove buildings just poking up above the gentle swell of the water.

High tide, Hove.

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Thirty seconds of #Brighton sea.

Now for my last, soothing, bedtime check on The War so I can really lie awake and think about it

We’d better get moving then!

True!

Brighton would be much improved if we had the courage to do this.

Ha! Thanks.

Two pictures from the sea in #Brighton on Wednesday. The beach was packed, and everyone was smiling for the first time in about three months. Went for a swim after work, watched the birds, saw a few friendly faces up there on the pier and cycled home without getting rained on. More of this please.

Lasted 12 days before one got taken out!

High point of the book tour so far: suggesting on Radio 4 that billionaires be hunted for sport and not having one person disagree.

Riding a cargo bike down Brighton's hills in torrential rain. Weaving round floating wheelie bins and hidden potholes like a budget bobsled run.

The pause after you've clicked on on that 'Verifying you are human' thing where there's a flicker of self-doubt but you also can't help thinking about some incredible possibilities.

A photograph of the end of a terrace of houses as seen from the sea at Birling Gap. The camera is half submerged and the houses appear to be sinking into the sea, which they will do one day soon!

End of Terra…

A screenshot from a few hours later reporting that the cliffs had collapsed and people were stranded on the new sandy beach.

“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”

I know the city needs the visitors and cash but this privatisation of public green space for long periods does feel like it should be questioned more - it happens in parks all over the city.

Thirty seconds of sea.
