#Gaza #Palestine

Germany’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday summoned Iran’s top diplomat in the country over Tehran’s missile attack on Israel.

Since the ambassador was not in the city, it was made clear to the embassy’s number two, the charge d'affaires, that the federal government condemned the attack in the strongest possible terms and there was no justification for it, ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer told reporters in Berlin.

Electrician has now left... a mess.

He's managed to drill through his own wiring, causing a short so we have no sockets or lights in the bedroom. He's temp put the bathroom lights on another circuit so we can at least see, but the ceiling and walls have ended up damaged and need patching, every socket & switch has chips that need attention & paint.... work I could have done without as it just adds to the delays.

I'm beginning to doubt that he's a certified electrician at all. 🤦

hold my beer…

On Monday (the 1st day of the academic year), the ECB (who have a cricket training centre here) decided to erect a huge tent on their pitch. In doing so they hammered an enormous spike into the pitch, hitting the 400V HV loop that runs around campus.

Half of campus, & a large part of Loughborough, lost power for about an hour.

Our head electrician was examining the damage when they turned the power back on without telling us. Very nearly crispy fried electrician



#Gaza #Palestine

Palestine Action activists have, once again, targeted a factory in the UK involved in the production of crucial military components, which the group said are used by Israel in its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

Activists scaled the roof of Teledyne CML Composites in Bromborough, Wirral, cutting holes into the building and spraying the exterior with blood-red paint to symbolise the loss of lives in Gaza.

As a personal user of epic, it makes interacting with my providers easier than any system I’ve used in my life. Prescription refills are dead simple, I can pay copays easily with my HSA card, make appointments easily for both my doctors and my dentist.

Whether or not it sucks for doctors, for patients, it takes the many, many tasks that exist *regardless of the system used* and packages them in what is almost a shockingly good UI on my phone.

Captured with a small mirrorless camera and 21mm lens, on a compact travel tripod.

This was a case where I hadn't really planned to make formal architectural photos and so had only a small camera with me, with no shifting lens. I made do by shooting wide with the camera level and cropping, which works but costs resolution and constrains how you can organize the frame. It worked well enough here, but I always feel like I'm leaving something on the table when I don't have the right gear with me.

The composition plays with the contrast between the ambitiously-sized sign and the humble, rustic old store. The photo is about shapes and scale.

This is also a bit of a nod to Grant Wood's famous 1930 painting, American Gothic. (See artic.edu/artworks/6565/americ…). Wood's painting was inspired by a grandiose, ornate attic window in an otherwise humble rural farmhouse that Wood happened upon during a road trip. The absurdly oversized, incongruously Googie-style arrow sign here reminded me of that.

Fascinating long read about Russian troll factories. Founded in 2013 by Yevgeny Prigozhin, they are still going strong after his death, albeit in more fragmented forms.
Particularly relevant in the run up to the #USElection and the current wars.
