Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

ICYMI: Sarah Wynn-Williams was prevented from talking at the @hayfestival.bsky.social after receiving legal advice that taking part in the on-stage discussion could place her in breach of an injunction sought by Facebook parent Meta. 👇

Telling that this horrendous story has been completely ignored by Farage and Co. A shocking murder.

Deeply saddened by this news. A lovely, kind man and a terrific actor. He was our beloved Giles but also brilliant as the man you love to hate in Merlin and Ted Lasso. Fed up with losing the good ones 😥

Sound effects for a baguette fight in a comic

reskeet if you think @mcuban.bsky.social should give @dumb.baby one million dollars

Persepolis is among my favorite graphic novels, and I've been thinking about this quote a lot these days for obvious reasons. So sad to hear about Satrapi's passing.

It should be noted that BBC News did not mention the name of Billy Allison in the headline and neither did they mention he is the founder of Raise the Colours throughout the entire article. The same BBC that loves to tell us the original nationality of criminals (but not white British ones)

BlueSky is for people who are smart or funny. Instagram is for people who are hot or creative. Facebook is for your grandparents and Twitter is for Nazis.

Strapping Scorsese into a Clockwork Orange chair and forcing him to watch 72 straight hours of techbros completely fucking up his own movies. Then, tossing him unceremoniously into a new jersey turnpike ditch and telling him "this is your legacy now"

So sad to hear that Iranian cartoonist Marjane Satrapi (author of PERSEPOLIS and other works) has passed away (at just 56). 😢😢😢 www.lemonde.fr/disparitions... #booksky #cartoon #graphicnovel #comics

We need to cut all but essential uses of antibiotics to prevent the growth of untreatable disease. Reduction of antibiotic use in farming has been a success story in recent years. Now, moves to light touch regs + intensive farming threaten to undo progress. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My fabulous MP @sianberry.bsky.social is one of the sponsors. Has yours signed yet?

little late for this post and i'll probably do a longer version of it later in the month but my coming out story is that i never had to, i just was, and to whatever extent possible a world where that's the norm is what we're fighting for

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s unfortunate these guys keep having their phones stolen, apparently out of sight of CCTV in one of the most heavily surveilled cities on the planet

This is obviously really bad, but what’s worse is that it isn’t headline news, and everyone concerned will still have a job tomorrow

I fucking hate these people.

I consider the Redgrave acting dynasty to be the cultural equivalent of the ravens in the Tower of London*, should they ever leave us we're going to get completely fucked

"Children of those on care worker visas, who came legally before rule change, told to leave even if parents can stay" abolish the home office

They’re burning wood to power data centres in the UK bylinetimes.com/2026/05/29/k...

Nearly 147,000 US-born kids have had a parent abducted under the regime’s mass deportation obsessions. 22,000+ have seen both parents detained. The new family separation crisis is here. “Families are also now being split up in ways that are more dispersed, more hidden and harder to track.”

The idea that the US & UK militaries are lobby that same technology that tells me “I’m absolutely right” on an almost daily basis as I point out its inability to follow instructions should be allowed to kill people’s without human oversight is nuts to me. This is biggest ethical crisis of our lives

if you are "using AI for writing," you are not writing. i do not know how to make this any simpler

another platform drops due to AI enshittification. i'd like to say im surprised, but i'm not. get off linktree ASAP. there are alternatives in the comments.

“What was that boom in Boston” bsky solidifies my belief that the last post on this site will be “hey did anyone else hear that?”

Another video of the explosion, possibly from a meteor entering and burning up in atmosphere, heard earlier throughout Boston and other areas of Eastern Massachusetts. Original post

Resident group’s objections to bar and restaurant licences ‘destroying Soho’s reputation’

Where have you gone, David Dimbleby? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

I have an update, can't really condense it. Things are terrible and she's going through hell with support. www.chuffed.org/project/1158... Help and read below I guess.

i wrote about all the president’s men for @brightwalldarkroom.com — i get into how the film’s texture and tactility gives literal weight to the reporting onscreen, and lament the loss of physical news mediums as a sensory connection to the reality of politics and power.

European alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Office launches on 9 June: free, open source and online, using existing building blocks. An important step in freeing ourselves from US control. www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

you may make mistakes in your life, but at least none of you ever bet on the political charisma of JD Vance

Someone on instagram said "Patagonia suing Pattie Gonia for trademark infringement, when Patagonia is already named after a place, is like Alaska Airlines suing Alaska Thunderfuck or Montana spray paint suing Hannah Montana" and that is correct. www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...

Bass (center-NIMBY) is puffing up Pratt (right-NIMBY) as a way to lock Raman (left-YIMBY) out of the race, meanwhile Huang (left-NIMBY) is acting as a spoiler to divide the left vote. 3/4 candidates functionally collaborating to shut out the only one who would do something about LA's housing crisis.

Around a third of nurses have long Covid. It’s totally unsustainable to not mitigate for airborne transmission. Better stock up on first aid kits.

"Okay fine I guess you can TRY to marry a foreigner but we're going to make it as difficult and expensive as possible in the hope you give up" is cruel. "Now you're here, don't expect to stay" is cruel. "Uproot you & your families lives because you were made redundant" is cruel.

Yesterday Israel ordered the inhabitants of Nabiteh to leave (population of 100,000) They then ordered the inhabitants of Tyre to leave (pop of 200,000). Now they've ordered the entire south to leave - up to 300 towns & villages. Alex Crawford reporting from Lebanon today

“Trans people will be left with a choice between researching toilet provision every time we go out… our worlds will get smaller, and so many trans people who enrich our communities will self-exclude, leaving everyone worse off.” Lawmakers must end the legal limbo undermining trans lives in the UK.

The hoopla about social media is an excellent example. No one is even asking whether older people are radicalised, or damaged more, or in greater number, than digital natives. We just kneejerk demand the removal of the autonomy of younger people.

This is why it is imperative that we don’t laugh when men make bad jokes that aren’t funny. They get the idea that they are inherently insightful and humorous when they’re just dumb.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

How do you turn people off the green transition and deliver them to the far right? Through #ClimateAuthoritarianism. The government seeks to coerce, not to persuade. And it's turning a planning system based on consent into one based on decree. This week's column.🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
