It’s Day 36 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI.

It’s Remembrance Day in the UK today. 11/11. I’ve see a lot of AI generated poppy images the last few days so I felt it appropriate to share a real poppy field. Lest We Forget.

Oof. Very moving. BBC footage from 1974 of the Old Contemptibles’ parade in London.

“As we who are left grow old” always hits harder from the mouth of one who *was* still left of that original cohort of soldiers from whom Remembrance Day began.

I remember where I was when I watched the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and how I sat stunned at the end. One of the best pieces of tragicomic writing ever, in any form; worth another look today of all days.

For Your Tomorrow, an artwork of 1475 silhouettes of servicemen and two nurses killed during the D-Day landings, has broken National Trust visitor records at Stowe.

Some brilliant covers on #BBC2 this evening but blown away by @RevRichardColes in his Communard days with Don’t Leave Me This Way

Nigel Farage on claims he’s not in his constituency enough.

Read manga, read kindles, read magazines, read rule books for games, read novels, read poems, read bus timetables, read blogs, read bird identification guides, read fairy tales, read tweets, read instructions for putting up bookselves... for the love of being human, just read!

Did you know?

Spent the day looking for Nigel Farage in his Clacton constituency or in Westminster. No luck yet.

@sundersays Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

This iconic photo is now part of Iranian history, capturing the deep frustration of women with the regime—a powerful statement against repression.

@Lucy_Worsley I prefer shakey myself but that’s probably as that is how it used to be routinely served on board ship
