"...Operation Epstein Fury..." more excellent reporting from the consistently on-the-nose, PNG!

It's nearly "When's International Men's Day? Day. Or as it's sometimes known International Women's Day. If you're actually interested in equality for every gender (because equality means equality for all) then please support this terrific festival. (it's November 19th to preempt)

“In a battle between hope and hate, hope has won.” Congratulations to new MP Hannah Spencer! bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/h...

This is a lot of fun. Everyone should have a go!

NEW - I'm thrilled to announce I was asked to interview Robert Jenrick at a car boot sale for the New Yorker. open.substack.com/pub/mrhenrym...

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

The power went out and when he woke that morning in his Passive House, it was 9°F outside and 62°F inside. "At our neighbor's house, which was identical to ours [before the Passive House retrofit], it was 36°F. They may as well have been living in a tent" passivehouseaccelerator.com/articles/how...

When you've lost Daniel Hanan...

Brilliant to see the BBC picking up Ranald Lawrence and Dean Hawkes' fabulously interesting and important #environmentalhumanities work on #HardwickHall. They measured solar gain to understand Elizabethan comfort tech. The original articles are hugely worth reading too. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

"...high explosive humanitarianism."

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The wonderful @johnczulowskiburns.bsky.social has joined Bluesky! Do give him a follow. He's the architect who produced the digital models of our buildings for #FormFollowsFuel, which enabled us to calculate #embodiedenergy for each of them. Also the stunning cover image. @florianurban.bsky.social

It's sad when you don't have the vision to be born into a dynasty. So sad... Losers.

Thank you all for your support

this is incredible. Art is incredible. Science is incredible. Great artists and great scientists are life changing.

Thank you , John

Baroness Jones, "The problem is that labour have not created enough safe managed routes" "If we had safe managed routes people could come here, justify their arrival, start to work, start to pay tax, start to create business" "And actually be a huge benefit to our society"

Twatting around with the planning system won't achieve anything. You need to fund and resource local authorities properly AND embark on a serious council housing building programme. THE PRIVATE SECTOR CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, DELIVER SUFFICIENT HOUSING! ARRRGGGHHH!

'The engineer said there were two options: “Color or cracks.”' 👀

If you're in Stockport on Tuesday, go and see Robin. You won't regret it!

The European Convention on Human Rights protects every single one of us in the UK. Some politicians want to tear up these protections to distract us from the real problems affecting our daily lives.

We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money www.glee.co.uk/performer/ni...

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS… Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’ FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare Please wake up folks.

2 episodes in to #RiotWomen and it is superb. The scene with Nancy asking Holly to take her to her mum and dad's is one of the most moving bits of telly I've seen in a long time... absolute masterclass.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

ltl architects built a #strawhouse with super dense Durra Panels. Literally almost all of it out of straw panels... Look at their #biobased potfolio, it may blow your mind. ltlarchitects.com/biogenic-pro... / www.instagram.com/p/DPWkvW4kST...

How are I? HowamI? Bloomin' heck the new #Partridge is good! #HowAreYou

Finally got round to breaking out the TimKey / EmilyJuniper playing cards I bought during lockdown. Not ideal if trying to maintain a poker face - e.g. King of Spades, and the black hearts don't help 4 cocktails in... Absolutely gorgeous though.

Freddie Flintoff's #FieldOfDreams. Pump it into my veins. Inspirational.

Please don't do this...

I've been meaning to write about me, my family and murder for decades and have finally plucked up the courage... open.substack.com/pub/ferguscr...

"... partisans in Everlast tracksuit bottoms and England tops who paint red crosses on minor street furniture in a bid to expedite the return of Tudor demographics." On the nose, as per.

Don't call it a comeback...

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

Labour take a single atom's breadth step towards the EU, RW tabloids go ape. So why not give them something to properly shout about instead? Leave Farage's hellish immigration battlefield, and refocus the national conversation on rejoining the EU.

Lovely stuff! #Copings

#UniversityChallenge should adopt the #FACup system of qualifying rounds, but it's Oxbridge colleges only, in a Battle Royale until only one from each is left standing. They are then eligible for the "First Round Proper".

It is disturbing to see the quiet around the rise of fascism , the false nobility of pretending this silence is impartiality - also thinking of all those edgy comics whose fake rebelliousness has aided extremism and dehumanisation while they lap up the swill from the millionaires trough

"Bus-pass bastards" #BrokenNews

Beware the gallery openings... #LawlessLondon

"Hypocrisy levels: High". Absolutely hilarious!

Oh hai. Maybe do something about the unsustainable demands of AI and bot farms before you ask the public to delete old family photos.

The police went home: a very different outcome to other protests on the same theme. I'd like to believe Devon & Cornwall Police have now decided the Human Rights Act trumps the proscription of Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act (the two are in direct contradiction). But I'm not banking on it.
