Pleased to see Alliance supporter Billy Bragg showing how we reject the hatred of the far right. @billybragg.bsky.social

Absolutely shocking. We're offering an overall award of £10k for information that leads to a conviction in these cases. We need to make raptor persecution a thing of the past.

I understand that Sydney hospitals are apparently running low on O- blood, so anyone in Australia wanting to actively do something to help, this is a good start. Please spread the word! (Even if it doesn't directly help shooting victims, it's always a good thing to do)

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

Certain disingenuous far-right individuals are saying, 'put Christ back into Christmas', Billy Brag (@billybragg.bsky.social) says, 'hold my pint.' Christ has always been in Christmas - it's his message of love, tolerance & generosity that some people seem to have forgotten. youtu.be/liRd9pjSBDA?...

People have stopped buying art. That’s ok. It’s fine. I’m so so cool with it and fine. But what if… (hear me out) … they started again

📣 Today - 1pm, Downing Street 🔥 Join us with Billy Bragg & Care4Calais to say… 🔥 No to fascist #TommyRobinson’s message of hatred & division. 🔥 Don’t let the far right divide us at Christmas. #RefugeesAreNotToBlame

First watch of ‘Brides of Dracula’. I’d avoided it because Christopher Lee wasn’t in it, which I can tell already was a mistake. It’s absolutely gorgeous, dripping with quality. If it keeps this up then it’s in line to became a firm favourite. @eofftv.bsky.social @bunnydarke.bsky.social #HammerSpam

Went to see Paranormal Activity in the West End last night. It’s really brilliant. Fantastic emotionally-driven horror that will make you jump out of your seat but also moves you. Highly recommend #UncannyCommunity!

The far-right are trying to exploit Christmas (and Christianity) to further their hateful racism. Don’t let them! You don’t even have to be Christian (I’m not but I’d wager I live a more Christian life than Mommy Tobinson and his acolytes)!

@bunnydarke.bsky.social ‘naff’ is a perfect description of ‘The Man Who Could Cheat Death’, though I still had more fun with it than ‘The Mummy’ (sorry @eofftv.bsky.social!). It would make a great (yet bloody jarring) double-bill with ‘The Home’ (to be watched in order of release)!

*New Post* In my latest post I revisit the subject of witchcraft in Shropshire and discuss its historic and folkloric legacy. This is my most comprehensive study of the subject so far! I hope you enjoy! nearlyknowledgeablehistory.blogspot.com/2024/01/witc... #witchcraft #history #folklore #witch

This is why I switched to Tidal - artists should be paid properly!

🕯️Spotlighting the wonderfully odd Candlesnuff Fungus today. Candlesnuff Fungus is one of winter’s whackiest woodland finds — black stems with bright white, flame-like tips that stand out on rotting logs. A brilliant decomposer and a dash of seasonal spookiness. #NaturePhotography #WinterNature

@chrisnewton.bsky.social I purposely avoided your’s and Mike’s EOH discussion of Del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ until I’d watched it myself, which I grudgingly did last week. My Letterboxd review reads like a blatant plagiarising of said EOH episode (though I promise I wrote it before hearing it)!

@eofftv.bsky.social and @bunnydarke.bsky.social. I really enjoyed ‘The Man Who Cheated Death.’ Although it did take me right back to being a teenager at school again, when I’d spend a lot of time wondering what the girls saw in their terrible boyfriends.

It’s nice to be proven wrong!

@eofftv.bsky.social I am closer to Becky’s take on The Mummy, but can’t pinpoint why. I think it’s partly due to watching it very soon after Frankenstein and Dracula, which are far superior. Lee and Cushing are excellent, and there are some brilliant moments, but in the whole it lacks bite!

Settling down to this weeks episode now. What a great podcast, and what a lovely new hobby (special interest) it’s provided me with (to watch or rewatch all of the Hammer Horror films.

Vigilante far-right 'street patrols' with links to Neo-Nazis and the support of senior Reform UK figures, are falsely claiming police backing, while attempting to infiltrate school networks in order to "protect" local children. bylinetimes.com/2025/12/02/t...

#Ravens are thriving again in #Shropshire — a huge turnaround from their near-extermination in the 19th century. Their late-November courtship displays are spectacular: aerial dives, flips and rolls over the Long Mynd, the Stiperstones and even parklands across the county.

Monkeys and bums for festive month

This is a great offer for a wonderful edition of the entire Ethereal Nightmares anthology. I’m so proud to have a story included.

Vaccinating boys and girls. It works bitches.

Just settling into Hammer’s ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ in preparation for the upcoming episode of Hammer Time. First impressions: that’s one hell of an opening (the bastard had it coming)! Looking forward to @eofftv.bsky.social’s and @bunnydarke.bsky.social’s discussion.

Anyone studying or interested in German History, The Holocaust, The Weimar Republic, should read the books of Professor Frank McDonough @fxmc1957.bsky.social I've found them incredibly valuable.
