Do you see a role for recycled construction materials?

There are some really good people in labour not being heard by government

This is approximately 10% of Lebanon's population. A tragedy and an existential threat to the country

Ouch

This is great news!

Weird mannequin (what is this, a vampire?) holding a flag in a balcony in Brussels

Thanks, Brussels, for so much joy

This is infuriating. Poor Iranian people. And the ecological effect of this is probably a disaster

"Around 1/4 of people in Lebanon are currently under Israeli evacuation orders. Jeremy Ristord, our head of mission, describes how 400,000 people, in an area the size of Manhattan, had one hour to flee. The resulting chaos means people are sleeping in cars, and are in need of water and essentials."

I never imagined that a) any country could have so many gardening shows, b) that I would like them

Are we falling out of love with nonfiction? In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about – and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

my view on this is that publishers should stop it with the 80k wordcount obsession, so many contemporary non-fic books are obviously 40-50k pieces of work stretched to the extent that they become very boring to read - just let people write cheaper, shorter books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

It's incredible how modern this painting looks, even today

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

I think sometimes rather than therapy, what we need between sessions are more hugs

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

“Be careful not to get sucked up in the slime-machine going on here,” the scientist’s mom wrote back, when he asked her whether he should accept an invitation from Jeffrey Epstein.

As the price of natural gas spikes across Europe for the fourth time in the last five years remember those extremely clever people in Reform and the Conservatives who want to abandon renewable energy and rely even more on gas 🤡 🤡

This is so awful I can't wrap my brain around it

This stuff fills me with hope

Yes, it's very nice

Ah <3, my grandfather was born there :)

It looks fun. We underestimate animals' appetite for fun

I love your jumper

Wow, I still remember when it was recommended to buy mackerel instead of other fish to prevent the populations of other fish from collapsing :(

This should be the No.1 case study in privatisation. Private water companies pumped human waste in British waterways & ran off with all the money.

Ahahaha what do they think happened to all those horses that used to pull carriages? Did they all go to live on a farm upstate? 😂
