More than a week has passed since the Wagner uprising. The Russian regime trying to pretend business-as-usual, but we are far from it.

Despite destroying 7 choppers, a rare SIGINT plane and causing havoc on the ground, not a single Wagner member, not even their leader got detained. A murky deal in the background supposed to make this all go away, but it only shows how weak Putin has become. He has become even so weak that he can't even go after traitors.

Prigozhin smiles, for now.

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

#Twitter has completely cut off public access to posts. Twitter accounts are now unable to share anything with non-Twitter people. Direct links no longer work, which is a disaster for accounts distributing public information.

This is a textbook example of why you should have your own server as part of a federated social network. Ownership means your public links will never break, federation means you can reach a mass audience.

It's VERY easy to set up your own server: https://growyourown.services/grow-your-own-social-network

It's just soo sad..  

The "richest man in the world" buys a massive social media platform and starts 'cutting costs' what was insane at the time

Since a few days he's now 'blocking public access' to the platform and now even limits how many posts people can read  

He's more like the saddest man in the world..  πŸ”₯

Anyways..

A man walks towards the steelworks in Hartlepool in 1963 by Don McCullin. Industrial scenes like this had a grim majesty to them.
I love everything about this photo, it is a masterful capture of a bygone age.

It is to be hoped the attempted coup in Germany that was backed by the Russian fascist state will bring Chancellor Scholz to his senses.

Germany has given some indication it will send more weapons and more ammunition to Ukraine.
