'A Tavern Brawl.' (c1953) James Fitton often captured human behaviour at its most unguarded: the awkward, the humorous, the slightly chaotic, people as they are, not as they pretend to be, quibbling, laughing, drinking, drifting, or something a little more physical.

'Autumn.' (1908) Leo Putz studied at the Académie Julian under William Bouguereau but despite his academic training, he was more interested in avant garde subjects and impressionistic forms of expression being pioneered by Gauguin and Renoir, which informed his own work.

There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.

Deregulation - the dark path to poison in your lungs, excrement in your rivers, carcinogens in your food.
A growing movement in Brussels is spreading the message that asking business to follow rules leads to economic death. They're working hard to destroy EU environmental + chemical protections.

Eric Kennington's career as a War Artist began in the latter half of WW1. 'Sleeping Soldier,' was included in an exhibition of chalk drawings at the Leicester Galleries in London in an exhibition titled 'The British Soldier,' during the summer of 1918.

Many chemicals are added to plastic as part of the production process. So, plastic pellets may be far from inert + harmless if sea creatures consume them.

Thoughtful piece. On a broader level, in my view the online right vs. BBC saga is another symptom of the fact (for a lack of better word) that we are losing a shared sense of reality in Western societies.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

It seems some people have forgotten or refuse to acknowledge this shit. They all need to have a cognitive test.
The Tories record from 2010 to 2024:
Food banks 2010 approx 35,
2024 approx 1,711
Homelessness 2010 approx 1,768, 2024 approx 327,940
NHS Waiting lists 2010 approx 4.34m,

The Labour Government cannot fix this in 15 months, they inherited a huge mess. @lbc.co.uk

Did u know?This is one of the most important organisms on earth - moss. It's amazing what it does to maintain healthy ecosystems. It minimises soil erosion; captures carbon; harbours tiny souls in its unique habitat & filters & purifies water & air in its dense structure - make room for moss. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🦠

Teigh (pronounced 'tee'), Rutland, has what at first appears to be a war memorial. But in fact it is one of the 50-odd parishes dubbed 'Thankful Villages' by Arthur Mee in his 'The Enchanted Land', 1936, which got back all the people they sent to the First World War. 1/2

A tenant farmer takes a break on a farm near Marshall, 1939. An exquisite portrait, don't y'all think? Per Russell Lee, who took the photo, the farmer was working on "thirds and fourths, referring to the tenant farmer’s share of the crop under a sharecropping or tenancy agreement. Stunning shot.
