Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.
Brian Eno 2h. On the Arrest of Young People at a Quaker Meeting House Last night, six young people were arrested by police during a peaceful gathering at a Quaker Meeting House. They had assembled to talk, reflect, and organise around two issues of overwhelming moral gravity: the climate emergency, and the continuing destruction in Gaza. That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space-a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolence—is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it. We live in a time where the greatest threats to our future go unchallenged by those in power, while those who speak out are increasingly met with suspicion, hostility, and force. When the state begins to treat moral concern as criminal intent, we should all be paying close attention. The people arrested last night were not extremists. They were citizens who care-young people who see the interconnected crises of climate collapse and human suffering and refuse to turn away. They gathered not in violent defiance, but in peaceful conscience. I stand with them. I believe their voices are not only valid, but vital. If the institutions meant to protect us cannot bear to hear these voices, then it is not the protesters who are disrupting order—it is the silence of those who look away. - Brian Eno

This nonsense again, very much hoping the Times have got their wires crossed because the Union Jack version of the symbol was utter rubbish, an abject design failure

The version of the symbol in the article is James Cousins’ ‘British Rail International’ logo, which is better than the version below (trademarked back in 2021-ish) which had more blue; there is absolutely no reason to use anything but the unadulterated Rail Symbol 2 for Great (🙄) British Railways

You fucking genius @aiannucci.bsky.social. Love the Yentob thing. I know it couldn’t be done but I’d love to have heard Chris Langham on how your approach to pushing brilliant performances compares with Ken Campbell’s - I don’t think there’s anyone else who’s worked with you both.

The Central Line stations between Wanstead-Newbury Park were officially opened OTD in 1947. Begun in the 30s, they were delayed due to WWII, with the designs revised due to lack of funds, material and manpower. They also represent the last stations designed by Charles Holden 1/6
