Good. Anyone calling for violence on Social Media should be arrested. Now, one quick ask - while people are getting Farage’s views on this, do ask him if there’s any correlation between getting £5m from a billionaire and needing £1m a year to be an MP - which he would need to do for five years.

Excessive LOLOLOLOL AI isn't like moving from horse + cart to a Ferrari It's moving into a palanquin: inefficient, a sign of conspicuous consumption from pretentious asshats, movement at the expense of and carried upon the pained backs of stolen/uncompensated labour mostly in the global South

The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something

Whenever a woman or girl in the village puts up a 'The Man Next Door Might Be A Werewolf' poster on a telegraph pole, some bastard pulls it down. They don't like knowing that we know. Of course another one goes straight back up. It's a history told in nails, pins and staples. – Hannah Bell #VOH

Damn, I broke the cardinal rule of being a Guardian columnist: desperately claim you are in fact working class. *In my defence*, a reader commented that loads of people on disability benefits are lying and I wouldn’t understand that because I’m middle class.

A major international human rights organisation are effectively banned from reporting the activities of groups campaigning against trans people’s human rights in the UK. If this were happening to any other group @zeteo.com and @doubledown.news would be all over it. Time to break the silence.

'But you served.' Be willing to help and be aware that helping often mean whatever It is, is not about you. That's how to be a good human.

It’s the 14th, so for a limited time only, if you haven’t caught up with Series 2 of Broken Veil (and would rather a one off purchase than a channel sub) we’re making the whole series available for £14. www.patreon.com/collection/2...

RIP Sam Neill. So many great, knotty performances, so many bold choices, such a consistently interesting career & still - shamefully - this interview snippet was the first thing I thought of

This is why it’s impossible to make a living as a musician and we all advise our kids not to get their hopes up. THE STATE OF THIS WORLD’S ATTITUDE TO THE FUCKING ARTS IS INSANE. FIND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE AND HOOF THEM IN THE PLUMS, ASAP.

Prompted by a line in The Bear's post, I'd like to see the media start using the phrase 'legitimate concerns' every time they talk about the Reform financial investigations, every time they talk to Farage and the rest. Throw their phrasing back at them.

🧵I had joined Twitter (pre X) then Bluesky to talk about Covid-linked chronic illness and to advocate for employment rights, so people losing health wouldn't lose jobs. But I end up talking a lot about welfare because people do lose jobs, employers discriminate, and disability injustice is vast.

Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

Farage reveals his strategy to beat Count Binface

If even the Telegraph have been having a go, Chode of Chode Hall might be overestimating his chances of re-election a wee bit.

Being told you’re corrupt by UEFA and Sepp Blatter is like being told you have a few mad ideas by Liz Truss.

I want to see a movement rise that actually puts the needs, dignity, and thriving of all human beings first—and you'll know if it does, because the media will treat it as "dangerous" in a way that it never managed for open white supremacist fascism led by an illiterate addled Nazi ragejunky.

Ah. Beautiful wee thing. BV2 OST out on 7th July. Digital and ridiculously limited edition CD. Preorders open now on Bandcamp.

This is why where Burnham puts Streeting, the MP for Palantir, is as important as getting rid of the odious Home Sec. Those are the two key tests of whether Burnham will reverse his party's devolution into Reform Lite. Not from which postcode he joins a video conference.

It’s refreshing and unusual for the British PM to regenerate in late June usually it happens in the Christmas special

If I have learnt one thing from many years of talking to the cunning folk of Hookland it is of the importance of knowing from which direction evil travels. – #CLNolan, BBC National Programme talk, 1936 #FolkloreAgainstFascism

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.

Second call on this one - running Under Hollow Hills one-shots!

Happy #freerpgday I added a this nifty little magic item generator to my HEARTBREAKERS collection! I ts partially random, partially impacted by your character AND you get some ala cart action as well!

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

Yes please. Stop chasing Reform, they're chasing their own further right fringe already. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

THE FUTURE IS BACK. Fifty years ago, STARLOG went behind the scenes of alternate worlds for the first time. Now it's back, exploring the visionary sci-fi and cutting-edge science that inspire what comes next. The future will be wild. You'll be ready for it because you read STARLOG.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Immigration went down, and they didn't even care. Time to continue taking their demands at face value, I guess.

In a pleasing turn of events, I actually got to spend some time planning my next TTRPG project this morning. So, apropos of nothing at all... Who amongst you likes to write UK-flavoured stuff in the vein of Forteana, folklore, strange horrors, etc., and might be open to a small future commission?

Signed - just *maybe* if enough people sign, something might be done about this transphobic piece of nonsense. Petition: Disapprove the draft Equality Act 2010 guidance laid on 21 May 2026 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

I promised you a book cover for Hookland Fragments Volume One at Midsummer and here it is:

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1378: Many would-be authors make the mistake of believing that you "start off" as a children's writer, then "move on" to writing for adults. This is both completely incorrect, and terribly disrespectful to children's authors.
