I can't believe it has come to an end... And what an ending. A thousand cannons loaded with eldritch mayhem and they all go off at once in the last few chapters... Thank you @cstross.bsky.social it has been a blast. (Now back to the start I think...)

Looking forward to listening to this discussion between two very interesting people: Adrian Harris and Graham Harvey (my PhD supervisor) talking about #Animism. The New Animism: Exploring A Relational Worldview with Graham Harvey www.buzzsprout.com/1931957/epis...

A commission that claims “religious liberty” while excluding Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs—and nonreligious Americans—isn’t protecting freedom. It’s narrowing it. We’re challenging this commission in court. democracyforward.org/news/press-r...

Without question absolutely the best thread ever! Muppets do Academic conferences! All hail the geniuses who have contributed.

At last some sunshine to see what I'm doing #FreePalestine #Lettercutting #Thuluth

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Beautiful early morning run round Stonehouse.

Our first weekend with just one doggie for a few years.. Definitely a Flossie shaped hole here.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Kristi Noem: "Renee Good was a domestic terrorist."

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

Chop chop. Some of 2025's letters in stone... #Lettercutting

Final sunset of 2025, with reflected tree lights, setting the Tamar on fire... Hope 2026 is kind to us all.

Lots of people have come down to look at the Seal at #FirestoneBay. Someone has lost their own special seal though. He's sitting on the wall by the convent ready to be collected...

10 years gone already. Missed everyday. #LemmyForever #PlayItLoud

Not as fast as the Christmas kingfisher, there's a seal back at the end of the road... Enjoying the sunshine...

Scientists tell us we’re headed for 2C in years, 3C in decades, 4C in our kids’ lifetimes. Insurers tell us our world is becoming uninsurable. Actuaries tell us the economy will collapse & billions will be killed. Corporate-owned politics & media tell us to carry on as normal.

I didn't get a photo, but my best Christmas present yesterday was seeing a Kingfisher - for the first time in my life... A flying gem.

Solstice blessings to all - may the unconquered sun fill your life with light!

A peak surreal moment of my entire career. At the end of a PSHE lesson on sexual harassment, my year 9 class burst into spontaneous applause...

Highly likely you’re going to see some garbage in the following days. “All Muslims wants to kill us”; “the Jews deserved this cuz of Israel” It’s also highly likely that Ahmed al Ahmed was thinking neither of those things when he decided to act. We need more Ahmed al Ahmed’s and less garbage.

Lots of shouting from the scaffolding across the road today...

Moonlight over Plymouth Hoe

So many levels of awesome... 🤘

Whoop whoop it's the sound of da police... #PlymouthSoundStyle

Big shout out to @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social whose recent post introduced me to this Latin tag "Solvitur Ambulando" (it is solved by walking). Anything that wise has to be worth carving in stone. Chunky letters in a chunky beach pebble. #lettercutting

#SundayEvening chilling by the fire with @mollyandflossie.bsky.social (reading Honky Tonk Samurai by the amazing @joerlansdale.bsky.social)

Morning dog walk in 3 panoramas... Glorious day (but far too warm for November!) #Plymouth

Clutch confirmed for the Desertfest line up 2026 (Joining Green Lung & The Sword as headliners). Wow! I think I'm going to have a sore neck after that weekend!

Very sad to hear of the passing of amazing #lettercutter and accidental YouTube star Iuean Rees. youtube.com/watch?v=92C1...

“Irrespective of whether these people were involved in the local drug trade or not, we don’t have the death penalty in Brazil … They should have been arrested…” This is always the point. Human rights are non-negotiable. I hope the world leaders going to Cop do not let this pass unremarked.

All the rainbows following us round on this morning's dog walk...

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."

Just rewatched the final episode of the amazing, beautiful and esoterically aware #Lodge49. Such a great shame that there were only two seasons - particularly with so much unresolved stuff at the end. #Blammo Why do TV execs just pump out such a lot of stupid shit, when drama can be so uplifting?

Bloody brilliant 👇

Done and on the wall... #Motivation #MomentoMori

No University Challenge? WTAF.

This is fucking excellent.

Super impressed with the fact that Mrs J's college friend actually had three questions about her on tonight's University Challenge!

Religion is declining worldwide in a predictable sequence - across generations, participation drops, then importance of religion, and later belonging. This is a broad model for understanding religious change around the world. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
