Six months ago, the PM got called a liar for citing one of my threads. I’ve been getting to the bottom of what happened. Did spiders kill Ebbsfleet? Did they not? Or, as seems to happen so often in my threads, does it all hinge on a bizarre twist?
Indeed. Speakers of any foreign language immediately suspect. But charming picture, so...

Still heartstopping.
So, so close there. And barely a smidge away from 12thC writers trying to prove there was a hint of Christianity about their favourite pagan authors.

Any diagnosis is simply the best working assumption, with varying confidence levels. The proposals are surely a black humoured version of "they gave me six months to live."

100,000 people will die this year without receiving the palliative care that would ease the end of their life. The Leadbetter Bill enables the State to approve the premature death of those people without providing any more of the care that enhances the quality of their lives.
An excellent article from @Jess4Lowestoft. To me, in straightforward terms, the #AssistedDyingBill necessitates a decision: do we prioritise autonomy for individuals who have the agency to choose it, or solidarity with those who will be pressured into it? I choose solidarity.

'Rock Roses, Old Lodge, Taplow.' (1957) Stanley Spencer’s garden paintings celebrate the order, the gentleness, and the fondness that the English feel for their gardens, the vegetation is brought to life with feathery strokes, the walls are painted with near-obsessive precision.
Théo Van Rysselberghe painted this Portrait of Marguerite Van Mons in 1886. It was a period where he was trying his hand at various styles before converting to divisionism in 1888. The geometric background and his experiments with black indicate the influence of Whistler.

Ethel Sands' 'Still Life with a View Over a Cemetery,' reflects her work during WW1 when she and her partner Nan Hudson set up a hospital for soldiers near Dieppe. Sands was an exhibitor alongside some of the most important British artists of the time, including Walter Sickert.
WOW, these baskets are about 9,500 years old! 🤯 Look like they were made yesterday rather than by hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic! Made of esparto grass, they were found inside the Cueva de Los Murciélagos (Cave of bats), Spain. Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷…
'Blue Iris.' (1936) Stanley Spencer's flower paintings celebrate all the things that he thought quintessentially English and at a completely opposite end of the spectrum to the more challenging figurative compositions he produced during the same period.
