A western honeybee is buried face-first into the center of a passionflower, foraging for nectar amid the flower’s distinctive purple, white, and yellow corona filaments, with the plant’s green stamens and orange-tipped anthers arching overhead.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A)it’s a really good song
B)clearly we aren’t alone in believing that Prog has a role in social conscience & protest.
Marillion have done it for years & I welcome that with open arms (I LOVE protest Punk rock!)
C)you are very selfless in promoting this song. Never pushing your name to the top 🎸🕊️👏

VOTED and it was an easy choice.

Would you ever play this live with Steve? (yeah...OK...I confess: I'm still working on getting some leave and flying over to see @stevehacketthq.bsky.social and yourself play in the UK, so it's a sort of selfish request!)

But it IS A BLOODY GOOD SONG!!

Just blown away by the songwriting & the vocals on this

SO VERY GOOD to hear Prog having a social conscience & relevance again; Lordy how I miss those days when music & protest stirred your blood!
(Think Marillion & "Forgotten Sons" : you felt PROUD to wear their badges!)

WELL PLAYED & GORGEOUS!

Couldn't watch today, but sounds like Pelle reminded everyone how much we've missed him in those last 30 mins. Brilliant that he's available again, what a player.

Great result. And so pleasing that we find different ways to win. Comeback wins were entirely unthinkable under before PC came.

Sooooo good to have Forson back. What a lovely finish #ncfc

The entire world knows Trump raped children. The reports are leaking everywhere. There's resignations. There's suicide attempts. What's the answer from American Republicans? "He was exonerated"
ON WHAT PLANET?
Just say you're good with pedophilia and let's get you some treatment.

Found these pics of our #ncfc legend the Mayor, from the 2019 promotion celebrations 💛💚

There is only one thing greater than the majesty of this architecture and that's the patience Mouse demonstrated waiting for a shot with no people in. Three hours 22 minutes.

Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket reliquary casket at Ashmolean Museum Oxford

The Ashmolean Museum Oxford has fascinating articles online providing the history of objects in their collections. Learn more about Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in 1170, on this page describing his reliquary casket.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.

Every #NCFC defeat is disappointing but always provides lessons to be learnt.
Clement is charged with a young and inexperienced squad currently depleted by injury.
Confident he can get us through to the summer for a re-build and a strong push for a top 8 (now) play-off spot next season.
Onwards..🙏

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…

Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS

And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

Darting eyes and busy hands create a captivating narrative between otherwise staid figures, each of which is richly clothed in meticulously painted combinations of color and texture. La Tour took on a theme popularized in Northern Europe by prints and in Rome by Caravaggio: an old Roma (formerly identified with the derisive term "Gypsy") woman reads the young man's fortune as her beautiful companions take the opportunity to rob him. This celebrated painting, which was only discovered in the mid-twentieth century, is inscribed with the name of the town where the artist lived in northeastern France, supporting the possibility that he developed such works independent of Caravaggio's precedent. #art #painting

Farage & Badenoch's (and much of the UK press's) thirst for joining in with Trump's unfolding disaster in Iran is a decision of historically bad proportions.
Their 'judgement' of why the UK should join in with an illegal attack which is tanking the global economy should receive much media derision.
