YOU GO, LASSIES. #NoScotlandNoParty

RIP a good, good man.

Top tier Friday evening apero: Hugo Spritz, Brie, Truffle Gouda, giant cheese puffs 🥂

Norway's team pic getting a lot of love but France does have "the guy who really, really needs a wee got put at the front" cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

and so it begins

right enough of this shit... need to go out and get some wine, nice butter and some apero snacks.

such utter bollocks. Here's my reality: Harassed on the train - white man Flashed at on tube - white man Naked man running after me in park - white man Pushed into doorway and attempted assault - white man Sexual assault on tube - white man Attacked on bus - white man

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

They ALWAYS shoot the messenger. Bari Weiss and the CBS Bust-Out open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I used to occasionally build lego sets for the gift guides I put on TV. On the one hand I loved doing them. On the other hand I would be screaming at the box at 10pm, demanding gin and crying about transporting the fragile fucker to work the next day. This one would kill me

I have just spent the afternoon attempting to edit on DaVinci Resolve after 15 years of editing on Avid. And that follows five years of intermittent Final Cut Pro usage... I feel like I'm five and learning to read again. I truly deserve the glass of wine I'm about to inhale.

ahhhhh

If the government doesn't act, there's a serious chance that Twitter rubbish leads to somebody being killed. We regulate broadcast media but Labour seems terrified to regulate broadcast social media. Why?

This, on the death of Henry Nowak, is an outstanding piece of journalism by @stephenkb.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/aa94...

well quelle surprise. Nazis always love looting art

Really, really good piece on the dual tragedies of both the case itself and the immediate pivot to using it to incite racist violence. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

📌 ICYMI — The Neo-Nazi and Far-Right Coalition that Converged on Southampton Over Henry Nowak’s Murder — @josiahmortimer.bsky.social There were Nazi salutes and 'White Power' chants on the streets of Southampton, after the Reform UK leader called for "pure cold rage" in response to Nowak's death

This headline is a travesty. It's not a protest and it's got nothing to do with Henry Nowak. It's a racist riot. Call it that.

Absolutely hilarious firing email. And this man thinks he can run a newsroom...

The thing is she has chosen a war that she neither has the brains nor the brawn to win. Hopelessly out of her depth from the start and drowning in her own ignorance and ego.

This is so good and so important.

Meta’s AI problems are international.

I've finally been served. Had to physically go to the Sheriff's office to get the summons. So it's all officially started. If you can help me out against this attack on journalism, it would be greatly appreciated.

how many terfs actually know any trans people? I work in one of the most accepting industries for LGBTQ+ people and I know 3 via work, 1 via my daughter. I will bet that the majority of terfs know nobody who is trans. Because if they did, they'd know they were no threat to anyone + just want to live

I cannot imagine using a tragic death of a teen boy to inflame hatred/bigotry. I especially cannot imagine why you would go down this route as an editor of a TV show. Oh you're booking the known racist... why? For clicks? For views? For outrage? Where are the decent producers? I know they exist

Back when I was a full-time debunker, I would have meetings with Very Important People about how to defeat fake news. What tools would we use? Apps? Anti-disinfo schools?? Warning labels?? I would say "support antiracism and antimisogyny initiatives" and watch the light go out of their eyes

Quietly, quietly, the UK Supreme Court is embarked on a rollback of the human rights and judicial protections of vulnerable minorities which looks every bit as stark as that of the US Supreme Court.

The family specifically asked for their son's death not to be used to inflame hate or division. So Farage, Goodwin et al use it in the most predictably racist way. Despicable ghouls, every last one of them.

So the ex head of Ofcom was a fucking right wing enabler. AND he was directly responsible for selling off an incredibly well designed studio complex (and a major part of our cultural heritage) for peanuts. May he never have a decent night's sleep for the rest of his miserable life.

This is truly delicious.

"IT ABSOLUTELY WILL STOP!!!"

Sanders: What Mamdani is doing is showing that you can have a democratic socialist, progressive ideology and run a city.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

I introduced my kids to this song this year. Loved it. This is one of the best songs of the 20c...fight me www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jxq...

This is incredible. A friend died of pancreatic cancer last year. Survival rates are so low compared with other cancers. Science is a wonderful thing.

This just came on a playlist I made for my daughter. Brilliant track. Used brilliantly in the last series of "Industry" btw. I love when producers/directors/editors get the music absolutely right. Makes my day, www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIpf...

1) Someone really needs to push back on this idea of 1st Amendment zones. I haven't taught polisci 101 in 20 years, but last time I checked the entire US was a 1st Amendment zone. 2) What's the point of having 1st Amendment zones if you're just going to have police rampage through them?

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

ahhh fuck. Just flew back from Italy with EasyJet and the plane was comfortable, new and more spacious than the last flights I have been on with Ryanair and BA. In fact all four flights with EasyJet this year have been decent and on time. PE will fuck this right up.

Hello, I'm going through a lot these days, it would mean the world if you can share this so maybe I can reach someone willing to buy or commission me something. Thank you 🙏

Take just 15 seconds to use our handy tool to respond to the Govt consultation on hunting. We have just 2 weeks left! protectthewild.org.uk/trail-huntin...

The public HATE hunting! Both in rural and urban areas!

just here to say that the kiosk passport fingerprint system does not fecking work, even if you have been manually photographed and fingerprinted multiple times. I have spent HOURS queueing in two separate European countries in the last two weeks... one colleague just made the flight yesterday

can we get as outraged as when the Taliban and ISIS were demolishing cultural heritage sites?

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

For those who haven’t studied stuff like this, something you have to remember this time around is as follows: MAGA are willing to say and do just about anything in front of live cameras. But they don’t want people to see what’s inside Delaney Hall. And that tells you how bad it is.

Good to see @velshi.com out there. This is fucking crazy.

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter
