Good evening

Labour got a stonking majority, yet we still have to pander to the loony Far Right minority regardless. When do the rest of us get the policies that line up with OUR values? Labour can go to the deepest part of the sea and get the fuck in it as far as I'm concerned.

lmao get her

Cigarettes everywhere. Cigarettes in restaurants. Cigarettes in cars. Cigarettes on planes. Walls and upholstery absolutely yellowed with tar.

Hey Schillings, Just wondering how you feel about your client JK Rowling suggesting I get "anal leakage" every time I open my email because she's going to sue me. Is this an ethical and SRA compliant use of your firm's legal muscle?

"How would the punters get to them?" absolutely entering my political meme lexicon, thanks Ash

What a gorgeous poster 😍

It's quite simple. You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out. The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

For my Patreon post this week, I wrote about why TERFs are still complaining about not having friends. www.patreon.com/posts/you-ha...

Wondering how exactly these well-documented sex offenders will decide if a woman is trans or not Bravo, Terfs in Scotland, you've just made it *legal* to let Wayne Couzens et al strip any woman they see fit: 'we assumed the suspect was trans'

If it was worthless they wouldn't have stolen it, and this should be obvious to everyone.

Damn back in my day they just used epoxy #woodworking

Content warning on the screenshots in the article, they are beyond grim and describe actual abuse. And illustrate the kind of people Streeting is talking too when it comes to trans healthcare, not clinicians, not parents but extremists who revel in inflicting pain on their kids

These kids are legends

Every recent Trump admin story can be explained with malicious laziness. Why use an unsecured group chat for war plans? It’s easier. Why deport innocent people? It’s quicker. Why solve waste by firing everyone rather than using forensic accountants? It takes less thinking. All malicious laziness.

I could probably make a starship too if all it had to do was blow up.

Here come the daffs

Cowardly. Kicking those least able to kick back. Starmer said these cuts would be in line with Labour values. Which means Labour values are to cut independence and dignity for those too sick to work. #tomorrowspaperstoday

I don’t have kids but if I did I can’t say I’d be rushing to to book the nearest available and probably unvetted stranger to provide solo care for them

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sahar. Sahar had just finished her studies and internship in marketing before the war. She has 4 children, Hala, Royal, Odai and Talin. They lost their home and are living in a UN shelter, Odai was shot by a paracopter and has a leg injury.

Gannin’ London to see Stage/Fright (and drink pints) #insideno9

You’re too young to stay in a job you hate

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.

This is so accurate, it makes my molars ache. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/did...

Every brilliant, quietly angry word of this by @roberthutton.co.uk:

Whether or not you are up to your eyeballs in snow day pics you must nonetheless look at my boys having the sweetest day ever

This was a beautiful read, especially as I sit here on a gloomy, rainy East Lancashire New Year’s Eve

This deep dive on Netflix purposely turning movies into barely distinguishable forgettable slop is so insightful, researched & brutally hilarious. A must read if you want to really know what’s happening to the business AND culture of movies.

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.

Absolutely fully stuffed, maybe forever. Might not manage to eat ever again. Got some room for Boxing Day gildas with a vermouth & tonic though obvs

It’s the 50th Anniversary of the release of BLACK CHRISTMAS. Speaking as someone who’s had much of their career exist at the intersection of Christmas and horror, I can’t overstate how this film paved the way for so much and so many. Bob Clark is the genre’s truest Santa, because what a GIFT.

“wealthy billionaires and corporations… hoard land as an asset, Britain now having among the highest concentrations of land ownership in the world. Half of England is owned by less than 1% of its population.”

If you’re in and around Manchester, can seriously recommend new Spinningfields wine bar Atomeca for a strong lunch with all the delicious things
