Musk is, in many ways, a true representative of his contingent: wholly uninterested in the consumption of traditional culture, which he clearly regards as boring, while foaming and frothing at the mouth that it must *remain* traditional, locked away in a museum he won't fund or visit

her still in place, Mahmood still in place, McFadden still in place. same shit different haircut

in three hours and two minutes i will crack the moon open and pour it all over wiltshire

generational run, streets won’t forget

Burnham should just sack everyone and not replace them, only way to keep the good vibes going

shame we haven't had a culture secretary for a number of years now. making Ofcom not a completely pointless insulting joke of an organisation could have been part of, to pick a pronoun at random, her brief

just in case you haven't seen me repost the announcement twice a day for the last fortnight, my new poetry collection The Revelation Tapes is out on 31 July and is up for pre-order! it's a maximalist, psychedelic dystopian odyssey through apocalyptic discos, sinking cities, theology and friendship

Stephen Daedalus will return in Avengers: Bloomsday

are you in Edinburgh? go and see our very own @strongmisgiving.bsky.social and a bunch of other excellent performers tonight! Ross is there to promote our PBH show Incubus Succubus Vengabus and I have complete confidence in his ability to make it sound like something worth going to, hopefully

Burnham must resign

"my work is done" is definitely what you say when you've been forced out of your job following a constant stream of massive fuck ups - having insisted you were going to stay on for the rest of your term and beyond, which I would say strongly implies work yet to be done

Raise the Colours, an organisation which has had one of its founders charged with murder, has been heavily implicated in a hit and run (currently under investigation), and another "leading light" faces trial for 22 indecent images charges.

Already preordered this bad boy but you should too! Preorders are meat and drink to authors! Preorders are a universal good!

Hey, gay people! This straight lady knows more about us than we do ourselves! Better not disagree or she’ll sue you into silence as well.

once again thinking about the best Lord of the Rings meme

would hogwarts hire a velociraptor? do you have to let a vampire inside your home - if he's your landlord? is a cop who fights crime as a werewolf by night technically a K9 unit who - deserves overtime? if they become partners, can they literally go anywhere and pull over whomever they want?

At least one of these (and at most) will involve me!

Self-employed people! Sorry to put a downer on your Sunday, but in case you'd not seen, the Government wants us to pay our tax *monthly* like we're employees or something With the World Cup and all the politics, I'd missed the consultation they put out last month, which is here: 1/

and if you fancy coming along to see my talk about or read from the book, here are my tour dates so far!

here are some nice things that people have said about it www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

I wanted to find some sort of hope in apocalyptic times, even if that hope is just having people around you who haven't given up yet. anyway, I'm extremely proud of the book, I think it's my best work. it's stretched my creative muscles further than any other project I've done. I hope you enjoy it!

my last collection, Farewell Tour, was a pretty cynical piece of work, turning 12 years of escalating misery under the Tories into a grotesque pantomime travelogue around a hateful, collapsing island. things have not got less miserable! but I didn't want to write another dour, gallows humour-y book

"As a concerned parent I shit myself with rage when there was two mums on Bluey"

the right wing chud grievance industrial complex response to The Odyssey really feels like it's happening very far away and not getting any traction. previous ones of these felt inescapable, like they were genuinely managing to drive the conversation. no one gives a shit about these dweebs anymore

BBC burying the lede here until paragraph 3 - JKR bankrolled this and LOST. I repeat - JKR bankrolled this lawfare against the Belfast Film Festival and... LOST. It can be done! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The movie "The Odyssey" is great. But if this was 1992, we would all be listening to the Bryan Adams power ballad hit "Making My Way to You (love theme from "The Odyssey")

the gentry are the transport of cats

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

appears the US war apparatus is pivoting from general war crimes to a more openly genocidal strategy

Boaty McBoatface hits different after the sinking of the Belgrano

if an editor doesn't quote post you to their 8 million followers and say your story is unsalvageable trash, what's the point of even having one

History does not judge. But historians will interpret the facts of his premiership. They will look at how he enabled Reform, implementing some of their core agendas; how he chose to limit our rights further; how he failed to put in place protections for our democracy; how he chose to employ … 🧵

Delighted, excited, stoked, jazzed, chuffed and semi-levitating to reveal the cover for my forthcoming poetry collection The Revelation Tapes, out at the end of the month with @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social AND you can pre-order it now, from this very link - www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

got to take anything from The Times with a fistful of salt at this point, but if true this is completely batshit

[having a quick glance at everything] looks like I picked the wrong week to quit antidepressants

My one issue with comparing everything to section 28 is this. This is much worse than section 28. I lived through section 28 but what is happening now is a hyper focused attack by over 50 + anti rights organisations who don't just want to ban the queer teachings they want to ban queer people

83,000 people attended Belfast Pride last year. Last night, I was at the launch of this year's Pride. Everybody who spoke, spoke of the desperate need to protect trans people. Meanwhile, the LGB Alliance disco each year gets about 100 people if they're lucky.

this is you in meta’s pervert glasses

For fuck’s sake, what is the matter with this horrible woman? For the love of god, please PLEASE just fuck off and leave LGBT+ people alone.
