This is straight up just unfiltered Stormfront racism. The best time to start shunning Farage was fifteen years ago, the second best time is now.

The point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

When I worked FOH at the Palace Theatre in Manchester I walked in one day to find Jack Lemmon working the stage door.

The moon is quite brilliant! Well done indeed.

The horror, the horror.

John Schofield of York University on the value of archaeology - it’s not just about the past. theconversation.com/six-reasons-...

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

We should make it illegal for MPs to use public toilets and changing rooms, and if you see someone you think might be an MP using one you can confront them, and they have to carry their Westminster pass and show it to you, and then you can kick them out. But, like, in a respectful supportive way.

Yesterday I was talking to groups of fourteen year old girls. The starting point was about how they used spaces, inside school and outside, and what would help them be more active. But they quickly concluded that boys had most of the space and then it got unexpectedly dark 1/n

Apparently the reason vets ask what breed cats are is that there are SO many specific health conditions associated with pedigree breeds. Y'know, *kind of* as if trying to put together a master race of any creature isn't such a great idea & maybe a grand, diverse mix of ethnicities is healthier...

<TW Miscarriage> This is LONG overdue and really it must be rolled out. After my third MC I received excellent care, but until that point we just felt left to suffer alone. It was a horrible time.

Thought for the day… so many of the rubbish people go after the arts because there’s so much truth to be found in imagination. So as mentioned previously let us art like we’ve never arted before….

It's happening! I'm delighted to be supporter number 59 🐙

I'm so excited and determined not to miss this that I've set an alarm and everything!!:

*has flashback to holiday in Aberdyfi with its enormously LOUD 24 hour seagull chorus* I've never heard anything like it. Also they kept trying to get in the house in a vaguely menacing Daphne du Maurier "The Birds" manner...

Hello people in other time zones. This is happening tomorrow, or today, or next week, or last year, depending on where you are. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

The excellent first four series are on the BBC iPlayer so you can experience this world for yourself, and then back the next bit in *counts fingers* 8 days now... because it is absolutely marvellous!

Reposting this eulogy I wrote for my magical, mysterious ex-stray cat George, who died in 2024, in case anybody would like a read. I've taken the paywall off it. It was very, very hard to write but I think it might be my favourite thing I’ve ever written about cats. www.tom-cox.com/lots-of-peop...

Nine days until launch... www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

They really, really do. I'm surprised they didn't all get up and walk out during this TONE DEAF speech.

Be a David Attenborough in world of Trumps, Farages, Musks, and Putins.

New story up on my site today. It's called American Golf Prior To The Fall Of Civilisation. It's probably not what you think it is. www.tom-cox.com/american-gol...

This is now what passes for “science” from the BBC. Hackneyed cliches, faux mystery, factually incorrect statements. 1. Archaeologists are, once again, “baffled” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

I'm never quite sure what will happen in this and Episode 3 didn't disappoint...!

May-eve moon hiding among the hawthorn 🤍 (also saw three bats!(

'Their ancestors witnessed the War of the Roses and the Civil War'. That is so cool. because only rich people have ancestors from that time. Everyone else only has grandparents. At best. It is a shame that those with such deep roots don't seemed to have inherited basic critical thinking skills.

This continues to be a hugely expensive problem for me. And it's all down to a major lie at the heart of Substack's promise that writers on Substack can leave and take their subscriber list with them at any time. substack.com/home/post/p-...

HOW TO SAVE ACADEMIA make it free for studentes higher educacioun for those who choose to access it ys a foundacioun of a free societye

Sharing because though 'cult' things are nice this book needs to be read by loads more people because it's brilliant and strange and will live in your head for a while, popping up occasionally, especially if you find yourself on a Dorset beach. The bookmark will be gorgeous too.

I am likely to be talking a little more about this on the book tour as Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal played a part in my resignation in terms of institutions attitude to open discussion of neurodivergence and mental health www.robinince.com for tour dates

I’ve been talking a little about situation that led to me resigning from Monkey Cage on stage lately - this explains a little more about why trying to be a supportive voice to trans people and their allies was “problematic” skepchick.org/2026/01/the-... #lgbt #lgbtqia #translivesmatter #bbc

Great spooky news!!! Now I just have to try not to get lost in the white, featureless corridors of Patreon to find it...

THREAD. Substack is evil. I can't emphasise this enough. Their line that anyone can leave easily & take their subscriber list with them is bullshit. I left & it cost me a large sum of money. It forced me briefly back onto Substack to try to clear up the mess... tomcox.substack.com/p/an-explana...

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.

I’m taking part in Super Seconds Festival again on 7th & 8th March, where I’ll be selling some end of line stock, seconds and samples at up to 60% off! Preview everything 👇 www.loadofolbobbins.com/collections/... #SciArt #BirdArt #Illustration #ArtSky #SSFMarch2026 #ArtShop

This is another fabulous piece (York, trains, how some kinds of looking back is good and some isn't...and more). It's totally worth you subscribing to read things by one of the best writers ever, anyway.

I've just told my publishers to remove the Daily Mail quote they were going to put on the cover of the paperback of my latest novel. I don't care if the Daily Mail gave it a good review. The name of that shitrag is not going on the cover of my book.

Tom is so good. There is love in his work. And he grafts. Holy Trinity.

I've only ever seen a trailer for The Apprentice but I'd watch this. Is there a way to get "Maximum Power" into every episode...?
