actually 'Alan Moore' is a recurring myth-cycle figure, from the 13th century magician 'Alain Moore' said to have learnt his snake-craft in the Orient to the bearded 18th century highwayman 'Alan of the Moor' to today's magician-cum-comics book writer.

Love to see explicit racism laundered through the twitching corpse of the conservative and unionist party

This is properly amazing

good fucking lord www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/n...

So turns out the Mail does welcome *some* violent foreign criminals. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

My 9yo is going on a school trip to Abba Voyage this week for a tenner, which I'm just throwing out there as the best school trip I've ever heard of

You will absolutely never guess what the context is for this rather ominous passage www.thenational.scot/news/2553640...

It's logically impossible for Peter Thiel to understand Watchmen

You know what really boils my piss? The pissboiler2000 from JML.

The Wild Geese seems even stupider now I am older too than most of them

My outlook reply suggestions imply that it thinks I am either actually Robert Smith or much shoutier than I actually am

Would you like to have a go on the Scalextric, it's great fun Kemi -

Some of you may be wondering about the glamorous lifestyle associated with the architectural work I do. Well, I can now share some of that with you. I get this sort of ad for reference material on my Instagram feed. (It is a genuine ad.)

Who is worse, your racist auntie who just believes a load of nonsense she has been told all her life or Robert Jenrick who doesn't believe it but who has decided that being racist is worth it if it can improve his chances of gaining power over an increasingly irrelevant political party by 2%?

Staying off social media first thing in the morning is all very well, but then you accidentally turn on the today program and hear the chief constable of British Transport Police just lying and it's all undone.

I'm amazed she's allowed cutlery.

A thread of inspirational quotes from two of my idols: Kemi Badenoch and Ange Postecoglou (uh-oh, I may have gotten some mixed up... or have I??) 🧵

Someone tried to start a fight with me in Selfridges once. Christmas shopping can be very trying.

Swift fans confess to mixed feelings over “A Modest Proposal”.

As Charli XCX and Taylor Swift are both descendants of the Scottish diaspora, this is actually a continuation of the Highland-Lowland divide, the eternal struggle between the Gael and the Gall, and as such

A spirited government would now buy the Medpro company so it could sue its former directors. *evil grin*

Realised I'd shared this with friends over the weekend, but not you. Yes, it's a lovely old video on modelling, but crucially about 12 minutes in there's the most unhinged walk through of a railway diorama where there's vandals, death, lambs to slaughter, a bit more death and Druid stones.

I know it makes narrative sense to have two individual films to set the scene but they should have just gone straight to the Dylan vs Springsteen film. SPRINGSTEEN: Your reign of plangent terror is over, Zimmerman! DYLAN: *You’re* going to stop me? E STREET GANG: No, we’re going to stop you!

Tried to use the Copilot feature in Visual Studio Code, and it's just like using a Self check out machine in the super market in that I'm THIS close to punching it in the face

I'm not saying I was getting wound up in that last meeting but I have just burst a blood vessel in my eye

I see Reform are upset about being called racist. Here's a tip guys, if you don't want to get called racist, don't be racist.

there are a lot of people whose primary experience of university was politics and debating societies and they don't seem to realise that's not what universities are for

Mum just popped round for some tech support and to drop off a copy of The Treaty of Versailles

Indeed. A thing which is deeply weird about the government at the moment is how they will do something where you go 'makes sense, this will help you turn things around' and then they will immediately relapse. It's like they're trying and failing to quit smoking.

I don't care if a) it's the Rapture b) a bit chilly, this is what I'm wearing.

Me on the way to the rapture.

I wrote about the most frightening and dangerous trend in Britain www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

right! well everyone seems to want to know about that janky podcast I worked on with Morgan McSweeney back in 2018, so I wrote about it - TL;DR it was........a mess: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/so-about-t...

Made the mistake of googling GLP-1s now every single ad is for weight loss programs

Well I COULD follow the news, or I could listen to some mid-nineties dance music mixes instead <opens Plex>

If you aren't following Shadow from Gladiators gloriously chaotic Instagram account you should correct that immediately www.instagram.com/reel/DOrQysd...

All kicking off on the school group chats about Socialist Students handing out leaflets outside the school and texting kids who have signed up with the QR code

Remembering Mimi on her birthday. Photo taken when Low played Bristol's Trinity Centre in 2018

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

Now I’ve got to find out what Groypers are? FML.

All contemporary politics reduces to this

Cried laughing at this

I tried to get a Torgo/ Dominic Cummings thing going in the old days on Twitter but it turned out to be too niche.
