America not being a signatory to a number of treaties does not mean that international law does not exist. The US is conducting clear war crimes, and boasting about it. They should be treated as a pariah state. They definitely shouldn't be getting a Royal visit.

Just for the record, had we - the editorial team who were made redundant - still been working, there is no way a piece of PR lip service like this would be published with such an astonishing lack of critical context. Its abhorent, but not surprising, given the 'reporter-free' newsroom model.

Right wing nut who was known to police exploded some fireworks in a German train yesterday evening, injuring 12. Thinking of the German railway family today.

Disingenuous prick. He has embedded transphobia as policy. He has denied young trans people access to medication and support. His government has brought back a version of Section 28 against trans young people. He is actively denying trans and non-binary individuals safety and respect.

Nailed it. Also go follow GNOH if you're not already; great posts even if you're not a horror fan and Jim is a Top Person.

The American government is blowing up the world because its officials are too stupid to admit the war is a disaster, and they have lost. Our leaders response to this is “Well, I guess you, the public, are going to have to eat shit yet again, nothing else that can be done”.

This rebirth of the prologue discussion has gotten under my skin. Stay tuned for my full thoughts

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Actually no, you know what, I don't FEAR missing out, I HAVE SADS about missing out. SOMO. Which doesn't at all sound like the name of a very small island with an endemic shrew.

Having a lovely Easter holiday! Lots of books from independent shops, and a good dose of medieval and ancient history.

congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup

Any editor...or agent...who does this is not someone with whom I wish to work. I've read EVERYTHING myself for 38 years, first as a publisher now as a literary agent. I receive around 40 submissions every week and read them all. If you 'don't have time' or can't be bothered, find a new job.

Really intriguing phenomenon on the walk to Clough Head today. Really clear shadow of a jet vapour trail falling across Blencathra, and you could even see the line of the shadow in the air

It's rare for a #Formula1 Grand Prix to be canceled, especially if it's a race we've seen on the calendar for the past few years. Today, I'm talking #F1 cancellations in the past, and how they compare to the current situation with the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix. youtu.be/Aaq2qdiQxns

Why would an absurd scandal that destroys Peter Mandelson personally also instantly annihilate Morgan McSweeney, Labour Together and Keir Starmer? And how come everyone instantly understood that Peter getting publicly nuked was death for the entire project? This part has not been well explained.

Looks like yesterday’s forecast for today was an April fool and I’ve just wasted the best hillwalking day of the week 🙄

Speaking as someone who spent two years negotiating the obstructive, clumsy and often distressing process for getting diagnosed and treated for ADHD on the NHS: *BULLSHIT*

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed.

[email protected] and I are on your telly box. You can watch me melt in the 35 degree heat I sat in for 8 hours filming my sections...
