Do you enjoy travelling with your priceless 17th century cello and also love the Japanese concept and racing car engineering firm Dome Co., Ltd., as well as the designs of Italian coachbuilding company Zagato? I have found just the thing for you!

Dome and Zagato collab on carbon fiber cello case

I don’t know anything about classical music, but it seems that a cello would be a pain to lug around. Fear not, engineering firm Dome, known for the Dome Zero concept car, has come to the res…

Yoshi is a handsome, fluffy black cat curled up and sleeping on a light-colored IKEA PÖANG chair, softly lit by the early morning light.

Yoshi is a handsome and fluffy black cat with green eyes, sitting on a Persian rug and looking upward. His small pink tongue peeks out slightly as he chats with one of his humans. In the background, there are wooden floors and a pale blue upholstered chair with wooden legs.

Oh wow, I had no idea! This is actually pretty neat - Apple Music includes translations for lyrics✌️

The Manifesto (feat. Trueno and Proof)
Gorillaz, The Mountain

#nowlistening #newmusic #AppleMusic

A screenshot of Apple Music shows music lyrics with a blurred background. The song playing is ‘The Manifesto’ by Gorillaz, from the upcoming album, ‘The Mountain’, with the album art visible in the top left, depicting the group on the summit of a mountain looking out over a cloudy sky. The visible lyrics in Spanish read: "Solo me acompañan mis hazañas, mi virtud y mi sentimiento" with the English translation below: "Only my deeds, my virtues, and my feelings join me."

Good #morning 🌄

A soft white rose in full bloom captured in close-up at New Farm Park in Brisbane, bathed in the warm morning sunlight. The delicate petals have a hint of pink at their base, with lush green leaves and a small unopened rosebud nearby. In the background, a garden filled with more rose bushes stretches out, slightly blurred, while sun rays filter through tall trees, casting a golden glow across the scene.

From my visit to Sydney last week.

#laterPixel #Sydney #shishi #lion

A close-up photo of a traditional stone guardian lion statue, commonly known as a 'shishi’. The statue features intricate carvings, including a detailed curly mane, fierce expression with an open mouth revealing sharp fangs, and stylised patterns on its body. The background is slightly blurred, showing hints of green foliage and part of the entrance to the Chinese Garden of Friendship.

Illegal tobacco. Such gravity.

Greg Jericho @grogsgamut.bsky.social · Apr 29

Man on the run

QUESTION:

But isn't blaming the media, Mr Dutton, just a convenient excuse at this point of the campaign? Isn't blaming the media just a convenient excuse at this point of the campaign?

PETER DUTTON:

…And the final point that I'd make is that we'll also feel safer as a country, and I think that's incredibly important because, at the moment, the Prime Minister has had no interest in relation to stopping the gangs, the crime gangs, stopping the illegal tobacco coming across the borders. I want to make sure that we keep our country safe and that's exactly what we'll do.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

If this was any other company they would be penalised do much but because it is politics?
