Thought some might appreciate this - a post I compose every year for my day job, "Hopeful Images of the Year," where I try to counter the typically strife-and-disaster heavy news photos of the year, a bit. I try to be earnest, and really feature just "personal victories, families and friends at play, expressions of love and compassion, volunteers at work, assistance being given to those in need, and small and pleasant moments."

Beautiful set of photos. Thank you for doing this.

Mural of Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman gets mistaken for Professor Snape
alt text
Regarding https://mltshp.com/p/1RG3T
A mural of Killing Joke frontman Jaz Coleman appeared on a wall in Cheltenham 2021. Coleman was born in the town in 1960. The mural appears as he receives an honorary doctorate from the University of Gloucestershire.
The mural, which was painted by local artist Andy Dice Davies, shows Coleman brandishing a conductor's baton, while one corner of the artwork is given over to the cover of Killing Joke's debut album, an image based on a photograph shot in Belfast during the Troubles by renowned war photographer Don McCullin.
“It’s been such an honour to have painted Jaz," said Davies. "Seeing Killing Joke on The Tube in 1985 changed my musical taste and I’ve been a fan ever since. I first saw them later that year at The Elephant Fayre in Cornwall and his performance blew me away!”

The mural depicts the moment that Coleman killed Dumbledore.

If you are blissfully unaware of yesterday's font news, here's an article that will both amaze and depress: https://www.nytimes.com/2025...
I was unaware (and blissfully so) of the latest round of assholery. It seems the more I learn about this administrations actions and policies the more I realize they're just actively figuring out as many news ways to be a douchebag as possible.
On the news font.

Hang in there- I took a high-paying job last year, supposedly to turn around a business, and no one will listen to a word I say. So, I’m fucking retiring. Enough of that noise I’m too old to fight that kind of battle anymore. I’ll be broke, but it has been a shit year. Not to make this all about me, but to say I can really relate.
I reach 25 years Jan 1 2026, and I can retire when I'm 60.....not sure I can afford to, but, if like I get sick or something like that, or there is a crisis with Mom to where I can't keep working and look after her, it is very nice to know that option is there in 2027.
I feel you. It’s not actually as shit of a market as everyone thinks, but it is hard out there still. I hope you find a new gig or get the certain person fired.

Wikipedia's page on school uniforms says this happened in 2022...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
It has a link to the Finnish National Agency for Education about it! In Finnish (of course), but the key (in translation) would be: "Taking into account the fundamental rights of pupils, such as the right to personal freedom and freedom of expression, pupils cannot be subject to other binding restrictions on clothing and appearance. For this reason, pupils cannot be obliged to wear uniforms." There's an exception carved out for things like swimsuits and safety gear.

Schiedam

Photo of a Dutch canal. In the front is a very dilapidated motorboat moored to the quay. In the back in the distance across the water is a very tall Dutch windmill.
Schiedam is quite a pretty city in the Netherlands. What makes it nicer than many other Dutch cities is that is that it’s also occasionally slightly dilapidated. Most other places here have been turned into museums by now, and they’re gorgeous, but frankly quite boring.

I love city windmills. Created on a pedestal to rise above the surrounding buildings.
There's one in Utrecht as well

I love crusty old boats and the, sometimes, crusty people inside them.
@joost Schiedam has a whole row of them. Depending on where you are in the city, you can see at least three simultaneously. On days they are operational, it's magnificent. (Dit weet je waarschijnlijk al)
