Hello from @penworks, my new home, moving over from @penworks@lor.sh, which is shortly closing down. I post about media culture and politics mostly from an alt-culture PoV. Also throwing in some creative coding, photography, abstract art and very rarely genAI art if its exceptional. I may use grown up words occasionally. I will share radical non compliance stuff in the fight against bigtech.

We now know beyond doubt the UK is illegally arming Israel during genocide
Matt Kennard has reported for Drop Site News that the Labour government has sent 8,630 separate munitions to Israel since arms licences were suspended in September 2024. He based his article on a report by Palestinian Youth Movement, Progressive International, and Workers for a Free Palestine. They obtained their evidence from the Israel Tax Authority.In an attempt to avoid incriminating itself, the British government is refusing to say what the deliveries to Israel contained. They are hiding behind the national security excuse which they quite literally see as their get out of jail free card.
While the UK government pretends all shipments are not for military operations in Gaza, Israel categorises the deliveries as:
* Bombs, Grenades, Torpedoes, Mines, Missiles And Similar Munitions Of War And Parts Thereof
* Parts and accessories of revolvers or pistols
* Parts and accessories of shotguns and rifles
* Rocket launchers; flame-throwers; grenade launchers; torpedo tubes and similar projectors
* Tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, motorised whether or not fitted with weapons, and parts of such vehicles

This is a war crime so why aren't police acting?

Back in time to August 2018.....
Portmeirion is a super fascinating place! It’s a picturesque village in North Wales, designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1973. His vision was to create a beautiful village that blended naturally with the landscape — a kind of utopian fantasy town — and it really feels like stepping into another world. It overlooks the Dwyryd Estuary in Gwynedd.
It mixes Italianate architecture with colorful, whimsical designs. Think Mediterranean village meets fairy tale.
It’s best known for being the filming location of the 1960s cult classic TV series “The Prisoner” starring Patrick McGoohan.

Spelling out the galactic levels of hypocrisy is important, for the posterity’s sake if nothing else, but never ever believe that fascists and their fellow travelers can be persuaded by arguing against their many, many logical inconsistencies. To them, words are means to an end: power.

Das Video zeigt einen Baseballspieler in einem weißen Trikot und einer schwarzen Kappe, der sich in einem dynamischen Moment auf dem Spielfeld befindet. Er streckt sich nach einem Ball aus, der sich in der Luft befindet, und versucht, ihn mit seiner schwarzen Baseballhandschuh zu fangen. Der Spieler ist in Bewegung und scheint sich auf den Boden zu fallen, um den Ball zu fangen. Im Hintergrund sind zwei weitere Spieler in ähnlichen Trikots zu sehen, einer davon mit der Nummer 9 auf dem Rücken. Der Spieler, der versucht, den Ball zu fangen, landet auf dem Boden und streckt sich weiter nach dem Ball aus. Der Text "They sacrificed 4 balls to save 1" (Sie opferten 4 Bälle, um 1 zu retten) ist über dem Bild zu sehen, was auf eine strategische Entscheidung hinweist, die zum Erfolg des Teams beigetragen hat. Der Hintergrund zeigt das grüne Spielfeld und einen Teil des roten Basenbereichs.

Australia’s Biggest LNG Plant Has to Win Over a New Minister

How many people know what these metal strips I came across on West Campbell Street in Glasgow are? They originally housed air-filled rubber elements and formed part of the old electromatic traffic light system. These were amongst the first automatic traffic lights, and the pneumatic strips detected approaching vehicles and sent a signal to the lights to alert them of the vehicles presence. As children, we'd jump up and down on them to try to activate them, but to no avail.

I suppose I could be very glad to see Starmer "get tough" on "integration and learning our language".
It is, indeed, long overdue that those moving into Wales stopped creating English-only ghettos for themselves, refusing to learn even the most basic, tokenistic words of Welsh.
Or, put another way, a very clear example of how the UK is now, more firmly than for a long time, seen by Westminster as 'England Only'.

Encore une merveilleuse chronique de Thibault Prévost.

"Slop" : l'IA et l'ère du grand n'importe quoi - Par Thibault Prévost | Arrêt sur images
"Slop" signifie "boue informe", selon le dico. Mais le terme désigne aussi, aujourd'hui, le déluge d'images, de sons et de texte vomi par les logiciels d'IA générative, qui pullule dans notre quotidien.Arrêt sur Images
Israel has not agreed to any ceasefire or release of prisoners with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday, ahead of the expected release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander.
The release, after four-way talks between Hamas, the United States, Egypt and Qatar, could open the way to freeing the rest of the 59 hostages still held in Gaza.

in reply to Dietmar • • •Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige und gepflegte Campinganlage unter einem klaren blauen Himmel. Im Vordergrund erstreckt sich ein grünes, gepflegtes Rasenstück, auf dem sich verschiedene Bäume und Sträucher befinden. Ein besonders auffälliger, runder Baum mit dichtem grünem Laub steht im Zentrum des Bildes. Links im Bild sind zwei Wohnwagen zu sehen, einer davon mit einer weißen Farbe und der andere mit einer dunkleren Farbe. Im Hintergrund ist ein weiterer Wohnwagen sichtbar, der sich hinter einem großen, hängenden Weidenbaum befindet. Die Umgebung ist von einer Vielzahl von Bäumen und Sträuchern umgeben, darunter ein Strauch mit lilafarbenen Blüten. Die gesamte Szene wirkt friedlich und einladend, ideal für einen entspannten Urlaub.
