Don't remember Lily Allen singing about this

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Look dear the newsnight guy is wearing the strobing jacket again

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The interest rates charged on student loans are criminal.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

From this zinger of a paragraph

Henry, a cat brought in a rabbit for Leo, a dog. After persuading him to let go, it emerged that rabbit was alive and perfectly healthy, so I went out in the pissing rain to put it back where it came from. Oh how we laughed*. *We did not. Our pets are dickheads.

I missed this, and it is AMAZING. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fully seven people in my bit of the train reading physical books made out of paper like it's the 90s or something. Wild scenes.

The Only One I Know is the 26th most Shazamed song in The United States today. Literally people not knowing the song but wanting to know it. Getting emotional here @harlancoben.bsky.social

i am seeing far too many news outlets quoting an AI chat prompt as an official statement and it’s giving cringe levels of ineptitude

Tomorrow marks 10 years since the greatest piece of art of our generation

Andrew Ridgeley has the best life in the world because he was kind to the fat kid at school. We should all recall that.

A reminder that my Ladybird Artists Advent Calendar starts tomorrow. 🎄 Of course, it may bear a distinct resemblance to my advent last year (and the year before that, and the year before that …) 😊 Artist: PB Hickling

Pope: AI won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation. AI: There is no Pope.

Seems like a good time (again) to share the guide I developed with @freedomfromtorture.bsky.social, which tells you how to talk about refugees and asylum in a way that actually convinces the undecided - based on testing 🧵 www.freedomfromtorture.org/changing-the...

Come on who doesn't love a tortured pun #totp

I'm going to watch this on the strength of the artwork alone.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all . @nebriefing.bsky.social 🇬🇧

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

Bloody foreigners coming over here and saving peoples lives.

I've never done this on social media before but... ...my brilliant assistant is moving on to pastures new after three years. I am looking for someone to help me out. They need to be able to *get to North London easily, regularly*, energetic (it's often a dashing-around/carrying stuff job)...

I will never tell this Kate Bush story again. I can't.

A nicer side of it getting dark earlier now is that its easier to pay a visit to Theydon Bois, the village on the Central line that doesn't have any street lights. It's a magical place to visit. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/the...

Delightful doc with Mark Bonnar exploring Scottish new town public art, including the hippos of Glenrothes made by his artist dad Stan. New towns, public art, Mark Bonnar? It’s ✅✅✅ from me
