Our third longest serving PM who isn't Thatcher or Blair, since the word Beatlemania was invented was... John Major.

At the time of recording, the campaign had 69 hours left (nice).

I’m ridiculously excited to be involved in this. It’s *very* nearly funded and has only four days to land. And my god this trailer… I can’t wait xx

Hey all, we are over 75% funded on the Kickstarter, but we still have £4000 to find in the next four days. Mark and I have recorded a Drunk Ghost Stories special of the Shining, both parts of which are now available on the Shadows at the Door feed to celebrate. Please see becksend.com for more!

HEY THESE GUYS DO GREAT AUDIO. Get in there for some amazing voices and art.

One week to go with £5k left to find... Can you help fund indie British folk horror audiodrama please?

Should I, an ordinary person living in North Yorkshire, apply to be on the ballot against Binface and the other one? Just for shits and giggles?

Poking my head back up to advertise for this a bit! I love this team and I can't wait to see where this goes. If you have a few bucks, please consider sending some their way!

Some good names on this project, and the option to kick in just £4 (or £15 for the whole season ad-free)

The Beck's End Kickstarter (becksend.com) has 10 days to go and we are still missing just under £6000. Please help to support this Northern Indie Folk Horror audiodrama!

Trump's got some front claiming Americans didn't steal their land. Isn't Independence Day all about stealing land from us Brits?

We have now broken £10k, but we now have two weeks to raise the last £6k which will take us to completion. Can you help?

The Kickstarter of Beck's End (becksend.com) is achingly close to £10k... Can you help it across that line and onwards to its goal? Or put it in front of others? The @shadowsatthedoor.bsky.social team would be very grateful! There's also a drunk retelling of The Shining as a reward on the feed!

I'm so excited for this show and they're halfway to their goal! Let's help them cross the line!

That is incredibly short-sighted, for all the reasons mentioned in the article below.

Council in North Yorkshire taking the Health and Safety advice from Operation Yewtree very seriously.

We are 1/3 through our campaign but over 52% funded for the queer Northern folk horror masterpiece that is going to be Beck's End from @shadowsatthedoor.bsky.social. Please tell everyone you know about our folk horror series and encourage them to donate at becksend.com :)

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

There's something seriously wrong with the way we treat our elderly when it's cheaper to send them on an all-year-round cruise than to put them in residential care. And fly out to visit them.

Young people can't afford to live. They've done everything they were told to do, studied, went to university, they are the best "trained" generation ever, but it's not enough anymore. If you don't think this ends in a major upheaval or uprising in the next few years, you're blind

We are at 41%! From @shadowsatthedoor.bsky.social comes Beck's End - A Folk Horror Audio Drama by Mark Nixon on @kickstarter.com Find out more at becksend.com

I can't get the UK Government out of my house and I can't get the UK Government out of my doctor's surgery. How I raise my kids is my business, how I look after my kids is my business, what I do and do not allow my kids to access on the internet is my business.

So unlike the government to rush out a policy with no understanding of the underlying tech. It has only happened, oh (checks notes) every single time

Every parent in the country has had the absolute power to ban their own children from social media, ever since phones were invented. "Parental controls" are a thing. What you're saying is, you don't trust other people, or yourself, with the power you already have. But you trust the government.

Beck's End. A Folk Horror Audio Drama from Mark Nixon with Becky Lindsay, Karim Kronfli, Marta Da Silva, David Ault, Maryam Ali, Dave Jones, Erika Sanderson and Pal Aron. Crowdfunding now !

Something else I've learned that YouTube's quite good for. It hosts a microcosm of these timelapse garden clearance videos (some clearly *way* better than others), but watching this one felt as restorative to my spirits as it was for this little patch of the world. youtu.be/0OwMVG9R1mQ?...

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.
