All these news items right now about tourists evacuated from Dubai, telling their stories about how scared they were as missiles started raining down. Could one journalist please ask if this experience in any way influenced how they see other refugees who also escaped war zones?

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.

For me?

Can we skip to the part where these guys flee to Argentina?

Back at it then #PollyStyrene #XRaySpex #punk #illustration

Ah yes, vote for Dubai Dickie, because we all want higher fuel and food prices, higher mortgages, thousands more refugees, cancelled holidays and pictures of Iranians being bombed to bits on our TV screens.

Peggy Fortnum’s drawing of Paddington on his suitcase

The Dubai real estate index plummeted by 20% in just 5 days.

The city is losing its reputation as a "safe haven", which is why wealthy people are eager to leave there, wait a few months, and find other jurisdictions, writes the Financial Times.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Photo of several relatively large (15cm high) crustose lichens on a flat, rock wall surface. The lichen in the middle is light grey with black specs. The lichens on the left and right are orange in colour. The large light grey lichen in the middle has three brown lichens growing on it that look two eyes and an open mouth…giving the grey lichen a ghost or ghoul-like appearance.

Boo! Happened upon this scary fella a few years ago on a hike here in #Newfoundland. Crustose lichens on rock. Height is about 15cm.

Mojtaba Khamenei is Irans new Supreme Leader. Not only did the US kill his father in the March 1st strikes, his wife and mother also died.

Just something to think about.

Retro looking film photo of Cape Cornwall from cliffs above. Bright golden, washed out light.

Waves breaking in Porth Ledden. Pale blue sky and green cliffs.

The white painted former mine managers house on cliffs above Cape Cornwall.

Another angle on the house - same washed out blues and intense golden light.

Talking of Cape Cornwall, much as I love it in a storm, the last time we were there was in beautiful April sunshine.

Took some film snaps on my little Olympus Trip and they all came out looking like 1970s postcards...

Oil painting. Cliffs on the right, waves crashing in the foreground.

I did a painting from sketches I made there. It was November and the sun teased all day between the showers. I was looking towards Lands End before the last light of the day disappeared.

Siouxsie 🖤 Just hearing the opening bars of this evokes a pure Pavlovian response.
I want to crimp my hair, backcomb the fuck out of it, pull on buckle boots, fishnets, Bauhaus tee and a mini skirt, put my leather on, then go to the pub, for 90p pints of Dry Blackthorn. #IWD2026
