Could use some work in the coming months, keep me in mind if you need a mage.

Film Four has a film on tomorrow, Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon, and right at the end there's an advert for war bonds. That's going to bring back memories for some people.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

I'm not changing the way I write for the sake of weak thinkers. I don't care

The alt-text is a thing of beauty, too.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Well this is fucked up.

Happy Presidents' Day. No, not him.

My faculties are hanging on by a thread. Mid night shifts and I had to deal with a plumber, a viewing, and instructions from my solicitor. Tomorrow morning I have to do a bunch of banking *before* I can go to bed and I can barely keep my eyes open already! 😩

A lovely review for The Sea of Clouds! "Another strong entry in the Imperial Mars trilogy in advance of what will likely prove to be a thrilling conclusion." Thanks, Maya!

Just got an official email from @draft2digital.bsky.social. "Distribution of mainstream erotica titles to Bookshop. org is expected by the end of the second quarter, 2026."

I'd probably be on it more, because money doesn't take away the lonliness. Although saying that, it would give me more time to go outside and meet people, so who knows. 🤷‍♂️

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

People are forgetting the 'don't quote tweet even to dunk on people' rule. Stop spreading their stupidity by providing a link. If you absolutely have to, and I'm not saying you should, take a screenshot instead.

A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects. Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet. www.gov.uk/government/c...

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

In case you don’t know… Enoch’s Hammer was the nickname that the Luddites gave to the sledgehammers used to break machines.

Made myself a big ol' pan of curry, to get me through to the end of night shifts. Also to use up the last of the veggies.

It was ther same during lockdown. The UK government suddenly found themselves able to house the homeless, but as soon as it was over, oops, back on the street you go. They'll tell you it's a lack of resources, but it's always about where They want those resources to be spent.

Leave me alone, it's Sunday.

Dealing with the fact that the type of job I have (shift work) is the main thing stopping my from living the kind of life I want to live.

Interesting to note that when six Tongan schoolboys from poor families got shipwrecked on a remote island they worked together to survive for fifteen months until rescued.

God I hate him, he's never a good idea, NEVER. He's toxic just from screen quality let alone on-set issues, baffling that he even has a career

Just to reiterate that all you need to know about UK class system is that Lord of the Flies is read as a comment about human nature and not about how inept and bullying public school boys can be.

Tried to book a cab. One app cancelled the ride, whilst a driver on another app wanted more money then proceeded to drive in the opposite direction. I'm now on the tram.

Please do read this thread to its conclusion.

Yet our government wants all children to have an AI tutor.

America may have always been like this for far too many people but this administration is bringing it home, directly and in person, to a ton of folks who have never seen it before that this is their response is extremely encouraging

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...

SciFi Characters… #ScienceFiction #Illustration

Being nice really matters. In the depths of cancer, a woman carried my little bag of shopping, a bus driver helped me get on the bus, a cabbie reduced the charge for the trip from Aldgate to Bart's for chemo. You never know what is going on in someone else's life so just be kind.

If you see this, post a rabbit 🐰

Reminder that if you were born between 1970 and 1990, you can get MMR boosters free on the NHS. Just call your GP surgery and ask, they'll get you a nurse's appointment pretty quick www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

First, this isn't true. Second, this story reminded me of a scene in one of the Flashman Papers. Set in India during the British occupation, our titular hero, caddish army lieutenant Flashman, is extolling to a Maharani the virutes of British rule. 1/

Used to be so easy to live, study, work, travel, retire in the EU. Now it's much more difficult, & for some, completely impossible, thanks to Brexit. We have stolen a wealth of opportunities, benefits & rights from all but the wealthy. Just plain wrong. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Always nice when Swarovski try to make themselves cool again. Because then a whole new generation get to learn they were S-Tier Nazis in the 30s/40s. "Enthusiastic funders/organizers even when the party was still banned" level. "So bad they supressed their own commissioned official history" level

"We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend" goes so fucking hard holy shit

It's nobody's job to support any business. You are not owed people's custom.

A very good evening to whoever organised this billboard outside of Old Trafford.

Almost. I'm short one cat.

As one of the people who suffered through the cataclysmic embarrassment that was the butchering of names at Seattle's Hugo Awards, @grigorylukin.bsky.social's essay is a must-read. He's got my vote.

The last in my American birds series (not the last ever, just currently) is this dark-eyed junco. It's surrounded by a blossom of Autumnal leaves. I'm going to be starting a female cardinal today to add to the collection. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

We welcome the court’s finding that the proscription of Palestine Action was UNLAWFUL. This case has exposed a deeper problem where the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

I had to QC the DVD of this for its UK release. Imagine never having seen this movie before and having to decide if something was wrong or not. I made a lot of notes.
