La Pethick, an 89-year old retired psychotherapist, one of 466 people arrested yesterday, is removed by 4 policemen.

For holding cardboard signs saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

She and her fellow activists triggered the police into arresting over 120 more than the previous largest number of arrests in a single protest, thought to be the poll tax riots in 1990.

The photo is by Toby Shepheard for the Sunday Times.

This isn't a classic Isle of Wight view, but it's a shot that my husband has been after for years.
The moon rising behind All Saints in Newchurch inspired him to bring out the telephoto lens and capture the view from a mile and a half away. He's thrilled that he captured it perfectly between the tree and the pinnacle on the roof next to the church spire. I wouldn't notice such things, but it's precisely what he wanted! This was last night, it was too cloudy on Friday #Photography #Moonrise

"A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion. The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology."

80 years ago today, the US dropped Fat Man, the plutonium-powered implosion bomb, on Nagasaki, Japan. I'm visiting Los Alamos, where the bomb was built, and today saw this replica at the lab's Bradbury Science Museum. LANL is now building replacement plutonium pits at TA-55. Heavy thoughts.

The police have arrested a blind man in a wheelchair.

I said, the police have arrested a blind man in a wheelchair.

How very dare he object to the murder of Palestinians, eh, Keir?
