Dividing lines: how Tony Harrison's V provoked a culture war silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2025/09/divi...

Dipped a toe in this album's dark waters this morning and it's terrific.

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

England, my England: Nadeem Din-Gabisi talks to tQ's @paddyclarke.bsky.social about his new album Offshore and its exploration of identity and nationalism silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2025/09/engl...

Fair to say that, on the strength of the book chapters on them by @michaelazerrad.bsky.social and @spinal-bap.bsky.social (among others), this will be worth watching...

Hugest of congrats to Robin on winning this. A great writer and performer, a total force for good and a rare beacon of light in am ever-darkening world. Absolutely delighted for the lad, and how refreshing to see one of the Good Guys get some recognition. Love to see it.

Morning all. Girl with bicycle, Dublin, Ireland, 1966. Photographer Evelyn Hofer.

please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice

When Masha Ivashintsova died in 2000, she left behind boxes of belongings and memories, and over 30,000 negatives and undeveloped film. Much like Vivian Maier she hid her photographic talents from the world, never showing her work or considering herself an artist.

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

ANTIFA JUST MEANS ANTI-FASCIST. IF YOU ARE AGAINST IT, YOU ARE FASCIST. GO AHEAD AND OUT YOURSELVES. WE WANT TO KNOW OUR ENEMY.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Ian Berry. The English. 1978. “It seemed like a good idea to do something on the English before my eyes got too jaded.”

21st century Britain where it's illegal to project an image on a wall but not illegal to supply weapons to mass murdering genocidal psychopaths

Growing pains: Adolescence's Emmys triumph was richly deserved silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2025/09/grow...

A UN enquiry has said Israel has committed genocide. Presumably that means the UK Government will now proscribe the UN and declare it a terrorist organisation.

Owen Cooper's record-breaking Emmy win is a result of his time at Drama MOB, a drama school in Manchester. He is living proof of what young people can achieve when they have access to arts education 🏆

"Democracy dies in darkness." Oh the irony.

Superb taster meal tonight a short stroll down the road. Hats off, Hiraeth. I'll be dreaming about that jalapeno cream.

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I think about this stock image a lot and how it presaged modern llms

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I randomly stumbled upon Fujio Kito, an artist who documents Japanese playgrounds at night. It was a fun little rabbit hole to follow. fujio-pand-park.tumblr.com
