A glimpse of sun beside a partially-fallen willow tree on the bank of the river Wear.
Richly golden foliage on the banks of the river.
A woodland trail through orange and yellow leafed beech trees.
A glimpse, between the beech trees, of the river Wear flowing below Maiden Castle.
Maiden Castle circular for today’s dog walk. (Yes, there is a Maiden Castle prehistoric settlement in Durham; the Dorset one isn’t the only one). The autumn colours are glorious, but one strong winter gale will see them off. So pop out if you can and enjoy them while they last! #Durham 😊
I'm not being crass, though hopefully there's a bit of good humour. But yes, all of those things can happen.
This is all about the situation and knowing the person involved. Equally, someone standing there saying "let them get it out. Just let them express themselves" while they lose their shit, can end up with the person later saying "why didn't you stop me getting like that" or worse, they get sectioned
This is the self-released reissue.

My Bloody Valentine — ‘Loveless’
Happy Loveless Day, everybody.
There are so many articles opining on root cause of the male loneliness epidemic and none of them answer the question “where can I go to casually hang out with people in person without spending a lot of money?”

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened”
In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job
Anyway he’s dead
the older i get, the more I know of history, the more I cherish that I got to be a 10-12 year old boy who could check out VHS’s of “The Dirty Dozen” and “Where Eagles Dare” from a Blockbuster.
Almost every British spy movie or series fundamentally lacks believability by showing people on mid-level civil service salaries affording spacious, elegant houses and apartments in central London.
The stark one-sheet poster for “Testament”: About five-sixths of the poster is a rectangular gray box, starting light at the top and becoming darker at the bottom. In the top right corner are the words, “They never had a chance to see their children grow up. To watch each other grow old. To fix up the house, to take that vacation. Because it only took an instant to shatter their dreams.” The film title is at the bottom of the box in all capital letters, and the credits are below that.
A color screenshot from the film of the three Wetherly children watching a small color television in their living room, on which appears the seal of the president of the United States.
Today in 1983, “Testament” opened in multiple US cities after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival on September 3.
Unlike “The Day After,” first broadcast nationwide on ABC 16 days later, this more intimate film explores the devastating effects of a distant nuclear war on a single family.
It was supposed to be about raising awareness, then act as a forum to do concerted things with that.
That's dead
Peter Watkins, the radical British film-maker who won an Oscar for his controversial drama-documentary The War Game, about a nuclear attack on Britain, and pioneered the mock-documentary form, using it to make historical dramas and up-to-the-minute dystopias, died on Thursday.
Netflix releases a movie about nuclear war at the same time the START treaty is about to end. The makers say they wanted to start a conversation about living in a house of dynamite. Everybody's talking about the film, yet nobody is having the conversation.
What really is the point of social media?
When do you actually just see two men on a screen talking about how much they love their partners?

This song hits so very different than the version that was a hit. Hard to blissfully ignore the lyrics as many did…
The amount of money fronted to the planet destroying hallucination engines that they call "AI" is currently four times the outlay at risk with the subprime mortgage-based worldwide financial crash of 2008. Only it is not secured against houses they can repo.
it'll make 1929 look like a piggy bank.
President Trump’s directive to test nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” caused widespread alarm. But is the U.S. actually about to start testing nuclear weapons again?
The reality of the situation is a bit murkier than it may seem. @jamiekwong.bsky.social explains.
If the goal of the trip was to demolish the last remnants of nuclear order, I'd rate the last six hours a tremendous success.

An excerpt from Roger Fisher’s March 1981 article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, titled “Preventing Nuclear War”: “My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the president. If ever the president wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him, first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The president says, ‘George, I’m sorry, but tens of millions must die.’ He has to look someone in the eye and realize what death is—what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It’s reality brought home. When I suggested this to friends in the Pentagon, they said, ‘My God, that’s terrible. Having to kill someone would distort the president’s judgment. He might never push the button.’”
White House Military Office Coast Guard aide Lt. Commander Woody Lee carrying the President Emergency Satchel (aka the “Football”) while walking next to President Ronald Reagan (who had recently undergone surgery on his left hand), near the White House, January 10, 1989.
In the March 1981 issue of the @bulletinatomic.bsky.social, conflict resolution expert and Harvard Law School professor Roger Fisher described his “quite simple” idea to force US presidents to viscerally confront the lethal consequences of ordering a nuclear attack. books.google.com/books/about/...
"This is the system we’re in, where people have been trained to immediately say, 'If we’re under nuclear attack, we need to respond.' There’s a lot of fog of war. You get, like, 10 minutes to decide. And if you make the wrong decision, the consequences can be catastrophic."
The start treaty bans the use of multiple independent re-entry vehicles - MIRVs - which our first ICBM had.
The absolute last thing we should be doing is removing the guardrails that limit Trump’s ability to unleash nuclear war. But that’s exactly what will happen on February 5, 2026, if the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is allowed to expire — and restarting testing only fuels the fire.
