Matt Goodwin is Adrian Mole after he's been on Facebook for twenty years.

Matt Goodwin, a man so personally repellant he reversed the creeping wave of fascism sweeping the globe.

I don't know what the opposite of nominative determinism is. But Matt Goodwin does.

Matt Badloss, is it?

For the lovely British people here🌸😊 If you'd like to get a copy of Tiny Moments of Joy for Mothering Sunday here's the link: www.swashbucklerpress.com/tiny-moments... (I know, March is nearly here already? How?! Where's the time going?! It's supposed to be January still according to my brain!)

These are not my words but I agree with them, chart at the end. “This is the chart that terrifies the Right. They know that, without substantial migration, the demographic timebomb will quickly become nightmarish across the developed world. We‘re becoming societies of old people, needing more and

London hellhole update

Hey lovely people, I'm thinking of holding some online workshops about finding tiny moments of joy in day-to-day life during chaotic times and I'm wondering if that's something you'd be interested in? Let me know if that'd be your cup of tea😊

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Farage is in the Maldives. 200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a tourist destination. Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands. How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?

I am really starting to wonder how many men there are out there doing this.

Credit, credit, credit. Credit the posters, credit people's photos, credit creators if possible. In a world of AI slop, where uncreative people take creative people's work, make a stand & stop stealing their stuff.

Now that's just rubbing salt into the wound isn't it?

🇬🇧 Larry the cat celebrates 15 years as Downing Street's chief mouser The UK's most famous feline, Larry the cat, marks 15 years as the country's chief mouser patrolling the corridors of power of 10 Downing Street.

It’s been raining for longer than Liz Truss was Prime Minister.

I saw a lovely comment under one of these images simply saying “Slug & Lettuce”

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.

Americans, you now have two days to organise the biggest celebration the world has ever seen.

One thing they will never, ever do is ask women 'what would help you have more kids?' Never. Because the answers are things like 'affordable family housing, childcare, and secure jobs'. They don't want any of that.

Finally, we've found a use for Liz Truss.

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?

Guys, the sky has gone a funny colour in the Cantal and there's this weird light. Does anyone know if this is normal?

Marina Hyde is so good. "We’re talking about anything but the things that most need to be reckoned with. ... The frenzied and remorseless focus on political fallout – and not the male-on-female debasement that is the entire heart of this story, and always has been – is weird, isn’t it?"

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

And while we’re at it, let’s stop calling them think tanks. Either they’re a bona fide research institution, or a junk tank.

Agreed: "The abused women and girls are nothing but a plot device, just like they always were. It’s the pussy-grabbers’ world – we just live in it. The only difference is you can now see it laid out in black and white."

I think Marina Hyde is absolutely right about where the focus is and where it should be.

Do you live in Western Australia? If you haven't already submitted an appeal against the EPA’s Kimberley fracking approval recommendation, please head to 👇 frackfreewa.org.au/appeal. 🤗 It only takes a minute or two & it might change the world.🌍 And please share this👇 with friends! Before 10 Feb.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.
