When are we just going to declare him a dictator? The entire world knows he's a dictator. Also an idiot. An absolute fucking idiot.

Let the record show that I posted this more than a year ago.

On 12 December I'm going to be speaking at St John's Church in Bury St Edmunds about the ghost stories of M. R. James in theological perspective. You can book tickets here: wegottickets.com/event/677163

Really feels like the mainstream UK media has tipped over into an overtly anti asylum seeker pov in the last few days. People on Gogglebox saying they had friends at Tommy Robinson's fascist rally, and "they weren't racist". The BBC asking why asylum seekers can use the NHS and get taxis everywhere.

“Tech leaders at WSJ’s Technology Council Summit said it’s nearly impossible to measure the impact of AI on business productivity.” Except that MIT already has. m.economictimes.com/magazines/pa...

Oh, here's the ad! (of course, conspiracy theorists already think it's satanic/Illuminati)

New KFC ad I keep seeing on TV has people covering their heads with napkins to eat in it. Which is a bizarre reference to the Ortolan Bunting eating ritual, that you'd think KFC wouldn't really want to connect to their chicken. But I can't find the ad online at all. Which kind of makes it weirder.

bork! bork!

Vibes.

Real life evil bad guy laughs off profiting from murder robots. Fuck the 21st century.

This is the (very overgrown) corridor tomb of Lobo near Caro in Brittany. Measuring 22m long and hidden in woodland, it is extremely difficult to find and is now guarded by a large and aggressive army of ants! #TombTuesday

Librarians (and honestly, everyone). Block and/or watch out for this account, which appears to be gathering posts critical of Charlie Kirk/right wing ideology. Note the misspelling of the handle.

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

Already been painted out. Must have been less than 12 hours it was there.

Just been to the corner shop. Someone has spray painted STOP THE BOATS on the side of a shop run by a Sikh family. Over the road is the off licence, run by a Sri Lankan family. Next door to that is the Post Office, run by two Indian men. All of these people have been here for literally generations.

finally we get to see what true patriotism looks like

Honestly can’t believe I’m in the timeline where a previously beloved children’s author now quotes Mein Kampf on Twitter. 🙃

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

"This isn't about the left versus the right, it's about good versus evil". So, that's the left versus the right then.

Playing the closing theme to Camberwick Green, just because everything is awful and it blocks things out momentarily

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I accidentally recorded this on slow-mo, but I'm glad I did. Love how it makes the most innocuous soundscape instantly ominous. The death knell chime of that child's triangle...

Bored of the hellscape of the UK? Well come on down to Stapled comic and zine fair. We are in Leeds, we are at Left Bank, and we are open from 11am until 5pm Free as a bird for entry

Hivemind, anyone know any Leeds/Yorkshire based comic writers? It's for a fantastic project that the British Library has been working on with care experienced and looked after children in Leeds, making a comic about their experiences. I would love to get some people down to support the launch.

Here's the trick: if you're left wing you're tying yourself in knots trying to find ways of doing things correctly, and nothing and no body is ever going to be perfect, so it's impossible. If you're right wing you don't give a fuck about anyone or anything, so it doesn't matter. That's it.

Bad news for English Nationalists: Paddington bear is an undocumented foreigner who arrived in London illegally and sought refuge with the Brown family because he was homeless and jobless. He later went to prison, escaped, and remains at large.

Accidentally watched the last half of Montage of Heck instead of going to bed. I've never seen it before. Really pretty fucking depressing tbh. Felt both overly candid and intrusive, and like a sort of "suicide was inevitable" documentary. Bit of a bummer to say the least.

Feeling this once again.

This event is coming up soon. Free to attend. :)

Sometimes I worry that I'll never inherit a mysterious haunted mansion from an unknown distant relative.

Rick Astley should buy them, as a kind of National Trust type preservation thing. "This is what the Smiths would have sounded and felt like to people back in ye olde 1980s". www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Question to all UFO-minded people: in the nineties British UFO researcher Victor Kean initiated Project Triangle, a database for triangular UFO sightings. According to a brief report in BUFORA Magazine, he had collected 7,000 sightings. But today, no trace of it. Any leads?

in the last year this is the onion headline i most often think about
