About halfway through recording the radio drama for Sunny G (well, halfway through recording my bits, anyway!). I'm looking forward to hearing it - I normally hate hearing my own voice recorded, but as part of a cast like this then it might be ok. I make no apologies for the quality of my acting.

"MY FUCKING CABBAGES!"

The entire Israeli military should be under sanction and both war crime and genocide investigations. It is clear, and has been for years now, that they are engaged in the systematic mass-murder of the Palestinian people. Men, women, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

AAAAA I DID IT I SUBMITTED AAAAA

The guy who invented being a jester:

Right, got a lot to do before tonight's last radio drama workshop session and the Govan & Ibrox @living-rent.bsky.social AGM (6.30pm at Ibrox Parish Church!) So that's enough doom-scrolling for now.

I don't think the government should even be on social media, let alone Musk's zombie Twitter.

For contrast, last night was a GSFWC night, we were in Glasgow, did our session, went to the pub, and were oblivious to trouble until afterwards. The art school had their degree show on, the pub was full of graduates, young, excited, arms full of flowers. #postcard #glasgow

Hello! Quite a few new followers. I'm Karie, a Danish woman living in Glasgow, Scotland. I've written a knitting book about Early Modern printing, teach psychogeographical craft workshops, stamp books, make my own jeans, and married someone from Clan Fraser before it was cool.

I'm going to stay off social media today. But as a New Scot I just want to say that recent Scottish elections have shown that I am welcome here, that my contributions to Scotland are valued, and that this is my home. Violent thugs do not represent neither my local community nor wider Scotland.

My contempt for Starmer and his milquetoast responses to everything knows no depth

With that Glasgow thing, yes it's fuckin horrible and they should arrest every one of those fuckers but no, it's not that the UK is now in the midst of some sort of race war. The media will be pushing those buttons hard in order to start one because they're run by christofascists or just scum.

This could be trouble given quite how often the summary seems to be wrong! And as the article states, even when right, the google summary is only backed up by the sources it links to 50% of the time.

Be safe, everyone, it's all so fucking horrible

We need to reckon with the fact that everyone in a position of power in this country and adjacent to positions of power in this countrt is a bigot and a racist and has been for a long time now and that's why we are where we are.

People burned out of their homes by racists and fascists, incited by Musk. Why won't the UK govt close X to UK users? Is it because of the Starshield contract, in which UK defence forces are now using Musk's satellite system for surveillance and intelligence?

“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

Cucumber, Banana and Tofu are all up on channel 4’s streaming service, so if you haven’t seen them, or want to watch again please go and do so and justify the £40 residuals I’ll get in 2 years

Every one of these is a whole story, incredible

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

Incited by Reform but also facilitated by Labour and the UK media, tbh. Don’t let them avoid accountability.

I will point out that the Prime Minister felt that the assassination of an American YouTuber required him to release a formal within 30 minutes of it happening at 11pm on a Friday night. But race riots in the UK itself aren’t worth his time

There’s a pogrom happening right now in one of the UK’s main cities and the Prime Minister hasn’t said anything, best he can do is retweet the Northern Ireland Secretary (and not even the bit where Hilary Benn condemns the rioters)

Can I ask? Is the British parliament going to bar Elon Musk from the UK? Or is that reserved for vaguely leftist streamers who criticise Israel?

Just started watching an interesting film about a feral girl - and 20 mins in I check imdb and realise it's a sequel. Boo, I hate watching films out of order, but I'm committed now! That's ok, I'll watch the first one tomorrow and think of it as a prequel 😆

Netflix's film boss has decided he loves cinemas, and wants to work with filmmakers keen to get their features on the big scree... sorry, wrong piece of paper. Completely the opposite of what we just wrote... buff.ly/RPw9SHo

this article is circulating with a COMPLETELY bullshit framing and clickbait lie about it, the "ai cybersecurity" firm is actually training AGAINST AI and the conan series is about helping people spot deepfakes and other gen-ai material, beginning with the famous robert smigel video mouth sketches

DISASTER I need to give the short... A TITLE

Where did you find this picture of me etc

To everyone who wishes Bush Jr were back, here's a reminder that his big war was also pushed by the batshit belief in holy crusades and the end times, and apparently he failed to convince the French to join on those grounds: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"how do I get good at poetry?" you may ask? You work at it. For years. And quietly, without noticing it, you get better and better.

Scottish friends! Please sign @living-rent.bsky.social's petition - we need the Scottish Government to enact a rent freeze and eviction ban to tackle the housing crisis and give tenants a safety net until rent controls come into force. www.livingrent.org/we_need_a_re...

This is what my MP, @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social, said to me before the Code of Practice was published. He's since ignored two emails where I've stressed the short timescale and asked for a meeting. Doesn't seem so keen to chat now that he's been proven entirely wrong in his assessment.

"A match official who was set to be the first Somalian to referee at the World Cup finals has been dropped after he was denied entry to the US.." Why isn't FIFA demanding this decision be reversed? That's a rhetorical question. We all know why.

It's not just Israel in Gaza. Since the 1960s UK governments have supported or acquiesced in several cases of genocide in Africa, MidEast & Asia. Until we hold elected officials to account for crimes abroad, the UK will keep acquiescing in genocides. www.declassifieduk.org/gaza-britain...

Seeing Bound again last night, first time on the big screen, I'm just never not blown away by how the Wachowskis use every inch of their frame. An eternal salve from the way everyone now just shoots dead center. You hava a whole canvas you bozos!

Is it ironic that they've generated an AI image to send an anti-AI message, or just depressing?

No Wes, we cannot ‘live with’ segregation and attacks on our healthcare by a bunch of phobic religious hard right cranks. I don’t know how much clearer we can make ourselves?
