Likes: kindness & countryside; music & morality; decency & dunes; humour & hope, hopefully knowing when alliteration must simply stop
Dislikes: The obvious really. The antithesis of the above. Climate change denial/doomism is top.

To my mind one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard.
Very slightly shortened to fit Bluesky's 3 minute max.
The images don't really do justice to the music, but they reflect the location in which it's best heard, and felt. ❤️

It seems that rules of governance were made for a different, less polarised, less populist, more hopeful era.
Such rules, especially vetoes, now making the world less safe, less humane, less decent.
UNSC, EU, SCOTUS, BBC Board of Governors ….
Partisan authoritarianism taking advantage.
What to do?

Took a break from scrolling and read "Local Hero: Making a Scottish Classic" by Jonathan Melville (Thanks for the tip, Skye). Fascinating book about one of my favorite films of all time, and a great prompt to watch it again. Lots of buried treasure in there. Highly recommend!

Airing clean washing in public.
Who hangs out dirty washing (even in private)?
And those checks are definitely M&S.

Left flank bias (but easy to see through)
BBC biased? Which way, left, right, up, down? 😳
Puzzled. Seems there's bias in some news/current affairs areas/people/programmes. Panorama video edit was clearly daft & amateur. Some interviews, timeslots etc. seem to favour the right.
It's a complex world in which we live. Maybe ask BBC Verify? 🤔
