Larry is best boy, it's about time he met the other king and sorted the country out.

Alan Moore's publisher... Susanna Clarke's publisher... Salvadore Placencia's publisher... P.D. Smith's publisher... Many other publishing companies... Many other authors... I get that JKR is very important to Bloomsbury but still ...chase them clicks, farm that outrage.

Another fortress.

Ah, remembering that time I got left alone on a sofa at a party with a head full of acid and this came on... happy centuries.

Might actually be the right answer. Oops.

Hey, that's a nice [THING YOU DO FOR PERSONAL PLEASURE], be a real shame if somebody were to [CONVINCE YOU TO MONETIZE IT, TRANSFORMING YOUR RELATIONSHIP INTO AN OBLIGATION AND ROBBING YOU OF JOY]

Something Odyssey related that's always seemed a shame: The idea of Mentorship comes from Homer but we've settled on the person being taught is a Mentee rather than a Telemachus.

A good thing that AI could do would be to hide posts with images of X posts from the dumbest fuckers on the planet. Can AI do that? Plz.

Everyone on here be like “oh yes I am a games designer with very strong opinions”, meanwhile here’s Anna age 12 out-designing all of you with her amazing pavement games. G’aun yersel, Anna.

So as you know the Hall is quite old. However not everything in it is 668 years old. Join us as we highlight (literally) and look a little closer at some of the additions made over the last seven centuries. 🧵

Overdid it with the seafoam planting earlier this year (the first batch caught damping off). Still, if I can get them dried and preserved OK I can make a lot of little trees later in the year. Also met a little friend as I was moving them in the greenhouse

Ang Lee's Hulk is the best live action comic book movie as it's the only one that uses the idea of panels for framing and cutting between scenes. I vaguely remember Dick Tracy also being exceptional, but then Vittorio Storaro, so of course.

I've been rewatching The Bear again from the start and it's amusing me that while the lighting and framing in the final series is as exquisite as I felt when I saw it in isolation, the only real change is the aspect ratio. "Wow this is so cinematic!" Yes dickhead, it's just narrower.

I’ll be listing a collection of one-off jewellery pieces using these Victorian & Edwardian silver stamp holders, lockets & charms this Thursday eve at 8.30pm. Meanwhile there are 7 miniscule silver acorns & 1 tiny swallow in this photo-your brain will release dopamine when you find them…🌿:

Dear Cousins, If you ever wonder why British Gen Xers 'are like that', it's because this was entirely normal children's programming when we were growing up. You're welcome.

I don't think I've ever seen anything say "friend not food" as clearly as this little toad

This is wonderful. I absolutely hooted when I got to the second screenshot. And yes, this term should be (quite literally) common currency.

Proof that I am British: It's 24°C out, slightly breezy and completely overcast with the vague possibility of very light drizzle. Best day of the summer so far.

A book seller told 404 Media that, normally, on a good week, he’d sell about 20 books. Since April, he has regularly sold hundreds of books a week. While the seller didn’t have clear evidence that the purchases were being made by AI companies, the purchases made him suspect that they were.

Planted the seeds of one chilli I was cooking with a few weeks back... I know they're flagging a bit, just about to water them.

Just learned about Crinoid fossils in the morning meeting and, gang, if I walked into a cave and saw this shit on the wall, I'd turn around and walk right out. No thanks. You can't fool me. That's aliens. The wall is gonna come alive and eat me. I'll be on the boat, thankyouverymuch.

NEWS: After being feared lost then recently rediscovered, the 1960s Skyline tile mural by artist Alan Boyson has now been restored and relocated from Hull's old Co-op building to a nearby NHS centre. ✍ @estherjohnson.bsky.social tells the full story: c20society.org.uk/2026/07/15/t...

Email from an experience provider asking me to do a half day's work, on a Sunday *and* give them a bunch of free books, in return for **afternoon tea**, because of course there is no budget to pay the author, why would there be something like that.

Just helped a white ermine moth caterpillar out of my kitchen. Speedy little chap ++ cute. I've only seen one adult out on my walks and totally failed to get a good shot of it. One day.

The replies to this are just... come on dickheads.

I don't usually share petitions but this is one I must highlight... The way Making Tax Digital is being implemented is disgraceful. It punishes people who are already fastidious about their tax reporting by forcing them to share data with commercial firms. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

Uh oh...

The new remake of Passport to Pimlico is really shit.

Getting a new Labour leader is a bit like watching England in the World Cup. Granted, this time we've skipped the group stage but in the build up to the round of 16 it's looking increasingly likely that we'll be out by the quarter finals. I suspect it's not, in fact, coming home. Again.

Love to see a gun on the pitch. FFS

If Argentina spent less time hitting their opponents and more time kicking the ball they'd be quite good.

They're going to keep adding minutes until Spain lose so Trump is happy.

Oh thank fuck for that.

Finish them!

The worst thing about England not being in the final is you can't hear half the crowd shouting "Nonce!" whenever Trump is on the screen.

Look, all the remaining goals for the World Super Ball got used up yesterday. There's no point in complaining.

Tell you what, if the Count’s still there then he’s gonna be really bored.
