I've seen so much stuff brought over from Twitter today. I'm now unfollowing people who feel we have to be outraged here too. Enough.

Art in Vienna around the turn of the 20thC is synonymous with the paintings of Gustav Klimt. 'At the Lunch Table,' (1901) by Carl Moll may strike one as an anomaly of the period, nevertheless it is a portrayal of modern life, in terms of subject and the style used to convey it.

Please add to the discourse around the decline of white men in literature the number of careers made possible by wives.
Maybe white men aren’t uniquely talented! Maybe the patriarchy just made sure women were kept out of the running!

Its about to get very cold on the Moor. An image from a few year's ago. A range hut overlooking areas in which the army live fire on the Moor. Always locked so you can't get inside and get warm but you can hunker down and get out of the wind which can be a blessing in itself.

I must have walked hundreds of times past the "ghost sign" for "Wimpey Autos" in Barb Mews, Brook Green, and only just discovered that it is linked to a horrific series of murders which took place in 1964 and 1965 in Hammersmith and Chiswick. The killer was never caught.

The problem being, as always, that they had no idea what they were voting to demolish as everyone was utterly useless as describing it meaningfully.
If you talk about “streamlining resources” rather than “stopping your weekly bin collections” then people will vote for it.
