Madness. Just hours after the ceasefire went into effect on Sunday, Keir Starmer sent a British spy plane over Gaza to collect intelligence for Israel. The plane turned its transponder off over Mediterranean then spent 5 hours in the sky over Gaza, returning at 9pm last night.

Only ever thinking of Søren Solkær's photographs of starling murmurations.

A critique of Salford Quays' MediaCity via the medium of birds, for those of you inclined. A personal favourite of mine outta @statmagazine's latest issue. Read on to find out why it's so Fucking Clean.
MediaCity: Where Are The Pigeons? by George Powell [@george__etc] "Walking round, it’s hard to see anything truly creative. There’s no messiness, no sense of organic potentiality, no true public space. There are no pigeons." https://t.co/cKCESkyYeO

There’s no messiness, no sense of organic potentiality, no true public space. There are no pigeons. There is plenty of order though.

Do cycle lanes in Holland flood? Or do they have drainage infrastructure as good as their cycle networks?

A group of talented filmmakers from North West England are making a film about Gaza (having heard how this will look on screen I'm incredibly excited for it). They're looking for funding to help them realise the idea. https://t.co/ZSEEUggmuD

Stanlow Oil Refinery noticibly contributes to the atmospheric load in the villages that border it. But there's no air monitoring in place to measure amounts of volatile organic compounds carried over and into people's homes. For @NWBylines

It's either the smell of home, or it traps you in your home. But what exactly are people living next to Stanlow Oil Refinery breathing in?

An unassuming ambience of violence outside BAE Systems in Govan, Glasgow. On the Clyde they build warships, like those in the Med off the coast of Palestine. The sounds you can hear from inside this securitised complex are the result of state sanctioned death and destruction.

It’s never spelled out – and I think it should be – that since 1948, 95% of all casualties in Israel and Palestine have been one side of the conflict. Since October 7, that rises to 98%.

If you wanna spend 5 mins of your Sunday imagining you're sat on a non-descript street corner in Barcelona listening to the sound of the world go by (construction), the full audio up on Sound from a Town via link on my profile.

Recorded one of the rooms in an abandoned social club in Salford on a Sunday afternoon, when you should be able to hear hubbub from old boys drinking mild in their Sunday best. Full audio up on Sound From a Town (link in bio). Good ghostly background for work.
