Two young women with drinks and snacks on their table look up at us a little warily, as if caught by a passing photographer, in this 1930 painting by Italian artist Carlo Vitale. The mirror on the wall depicts other customers in the busy café

1/ Less than 24 hours before broadcast, the BBC called me and said: we're editing a line out of your lecture. The line? That Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

I’m enjoying French artist Maurice de Vlaminck’s bold use of vibrant colour and short, bold brushstrokes in ‘The River Seine at Chatou’ (1906, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY)
Sunday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing various people filling up their various vehicles at a crowded petrol station. At the font of the queue is the NASA moon rocket Artemis II, being filled up by an astronaut. Next is a registered nurse driving a modest, older model car, in line with everyone else and filling up without any special provisions despite the fact that she's an essential worker. Waiting behind her is an oversized Ute clearly not being used for utility purposes but rather as a recreational vehicle. Its driver, leaning out of the window, yells at the astronaut, "Oi, gas guzzler! Leave some for the rest of us!", which results in an eyebrow raise from the RN.
Priorities in line.

In a turbulent world, take this opportunity to wallow pleasantly in nostalgia, as workaday people line up under the glow of a streetlight at their cosily-lit fish and chip shop. Artist Chris May did this painting in 2025 but it vividly evokes a Britain of the 1950s

I have printed this photo for a swoony galah who is pasting it to the side of a tree as a pin-up.

Close-up macro of a bumblebee clinging to a cluster of bright green-yellow catkins, its fuzzy black and golden body dusted with pollen. One hind leg is raised as it grips the plant, translucent wings folded along its back, while sunlight highlights the fine hairs and textures against a softly blurred background.
My last post today. For #MacroMonday Hope you all have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world. Going to go out with my dog. I’ll be back later to help my friend Rob with BOTD. #photography #macrophotography #ECK
A couple of days ago I read about Captain Robert Campbell and the Kaiser. At first I thought it another urban myth, the reality, it’s well documented. Then I thought about those tiny sparks of humanity amidst the industrial-scale horror of WWI. #Humanity

A bunch of critters along the riverbank wait for Toad to come out of the water. From "A Swim" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*
The turtle and the lizards and the snake and the dragonflies and the field mouse all sat on the riverbank. They waited for Toad to come out of the water.
A small shift on our plates could create a massive impact for the planet. 🌎🌱

I captured 20 hrs of integration time on the Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae. Look closely at the heart of IC 410, you'll see two tadpole-like structures.
