L'Aurora, a ceiling fresco painted in 1614 by Guido Reni. It represents Aurora, goddess of the dawn, bringing forth a new day as she leads the way for Apollo, god of light among many other things, who follows behind in his golden quadriga (four-horse chariot).

"this is not a Starbucks problem; it’s a systems problem" But Starbucks created the system and only Starbucks can redesign it. Fat chance, it would seem. Good story and moral.

"Dropped city 'circle line' train plan revived" This means completing the Henbury loop - not a circle but it makes a good headline. Map: @FOSBR Charfield, Brabazon & Henfield: work in progress. Portishead & Pill: funded and moving forward. https://t.co/pQBhDTeCJk

Keir Starmer is considering India's Aadhaar as UK digital ID model, but detractors warn of ‘digital coercion’ and security breaches. "Your basis to live is checked at each and every step." Guardian article: https://t.co/SAXaBZkMyA
Digital ID was NOT in Labour’s 2024 Manifesto. When they say there is a public mandate for this, they are wrong. Nobody voted for this- yet it will affect everyone. Don’t submit to the state.

Zoe has a gift for doing painstaking research then putting the pieces together with intelligence, insight and foresight. I recommend her Substack wholeheartedly.

Zoe Scaman (no @): "I’ve been trying to educate myself…on the messy, tangled web of geopolitics as it crashes into technology, power and what’s left of civilian freedom. Not because I have answers. Because I’m trying to see the shape of the problem." https://t.co/5hukTSH03p

I have an elderly friend who is in her 80s. She lives in Cornwall. Mary is very switched on but she struggles with new technology a bit - especially parking apps. All she wants to do is put her car in a space for a couple of hours and pay. She does not want to sign up for a

A call to arms. They call you a fascist so they can attack you. As a label it has only ever meant 'right wing politics I don't approve of', and is only ever used to provide grounds for political suppression.

Excellent.

#whatstation 875 is Hawkhurst. Our thanks to William Barter @WilliamBarter1 for this identification and to @nowtonew for confirmation. It's a terminus, with two platforms and a bay. Here's a lovely old bit of movie https://t.co/sZwrNw9Dsz via @YouTube

Reminds me of Arthur Mullard on Celebrity Squares. His answer to the question "What does the symbol H2SO4 stand for?" was "It's the postcode for Hammersmith Broadway."
The Hammersmith Flyover, which slices through Hammersmith town centre, could be buried in a road tunnel if a plan by Hammersmith and Fulham Council goes ahead. https://t.co/HJ1ziWEtIi

Feel the joy.
Our railway system isn’t *always* great, but there *are*some bits which are extraordinarily ACE. One such is @tfwrail’s dining car service, between Cardiff & Manchester: I’ve just settled down to a £12.50 chef-cooked breakfast; my first class ticket was just £5 more than the
