'Face of the Moon.' (1797) John Russell was the finest British pastel artist of his time. One of his sitters, the astronomer William Herschel encouraged him to buy a telescope, and with this he produced a number of remarkable pastel drawings of the moon.

Ramon Casas' paintings (this is 1896) often highlight changing social roles, especially the emergence of the modern woman in Spanish society - pictures he said, only need to show a single moment of a new world and not what happens there on a day-to- day basis.

When it was first introduced the impact on traffic was dramatic. Over the years that impact has eroded. London is an example of how having a first class public transport system isn’t remotely enough to tempt people out of their cars. And, yes, Andy Burnham your ears should be burning.

Y’day I posted about Sir Oswald Mosley’s pro-Nazi British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Some comments on Facebook expressed support for Mosley and his ideology. I know you can’t really reason with people who will publicly support fascism but this is what Mosley’s ideology did to Southampton:

The word “salad” is routinely misapplied.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This type of corporate behaviour happens in a lot of places, not just publishing.

PPS There are many commercial actors who would love to break this feature of astronomical publishing and add a layer of top journals that charge top dollar and have high rejection rates. Resist, and support your community-run journals.

Nearly 90% of high school students in Matsuyama travel by bike each day, an astonishing rate that eclipses that of Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Despite a challenging terrain and climate, thanks to its strong cycling culture, riding for teens has become both a rite of passage and a practical necessity.🧵
