What a feat of engineering that scaffold is on Zagreb cathedral. Shame it’s closed for visitors but scaffolding is something to see

@googlyeyecat.bsky.social we made it 😂

Aspiring authors, I’m here to help. Do you have any writing-related questions or dilemmas I can answer? Maybe you just need encouragement or a kick in the pants? Ask away… #writing

This is exactly the same demand that preceded the Trump admin's federalization of the Oregon National Guard

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent article

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

My Britain ain't broken

Iron bay window on Webster Road Ink and charcoal on board 2025 (15cm x 30cm) Today’s small painting is of an abandoned house in Wavertree. The bay windows on these houses are distinctive, supported with chunky cast iron columns, and these are the main focus of the piece. #liverpool #art

Musk is wearing a T-shirt that asks, "What would Orwell think." Orwell took a bullet to the neck while fighting Tommy Robinsons and Elon Musks in Spain.

As per yesterday’s post, our matchday Heritage Centre will be open at the Bluehouse building, from noon to 2:30. The facility is a work in progress & will evolve in the coming weeks. So, it’s a soft launch! Access is off Fulton Street, to the rear of the property.

I'll tell you how we can stop people spending their whole lives online

Oh look. #Farage avoids tax too. 1. Through company for GB News (avoids income tax) 2. Through an offshore trust (avoids capital gains tax) 3. Through getting his partner to buy *his* home in Clacton (avoids Stamo Duty) #Rayner #Tax www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Well, well, well

Ouch

The Haunted Paper exhibition has a special Saturday opening and book signing. This Saturday at Dorothy on Jamaica Street from 11 - 4. Ghost Town and Wild Twin book signing from 12 - 2. We hope to see you there!

Farage's tactic as an MEP was to show up just to make an anti-EU tirade and then clip it for YouTube. Nice to see the tactic used the other way around.

Well I’m shocked I tell you … shocked!!!! NOT!

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Parliament reopened today, but Nigel Farage was in Washington DC on his 10th trip to the US since becoming an MP. You don't get to earn £1m from 12 jobs by wasting time on what is meant to be your full time role.

Fans Supporting Foodbanks @SFoodbanks will be in the Fan Zone before the match tomorrow. They are extremely short of supplies right now, so if you are able to, please bring along a bag and drop it off with these very dedicated workers on your way in. 💙🙏

The Everton story of the day - wonderful and well done #EFC

My advice to people, take I'm angry at people not being paid as badly as me. And turn it into, I'm angry at being paid badly. Median wage 2008 - £24,769 Median wage 2025 - £29,600 Inflation from 2008-2025 - 70.51%, your wage should be £42,231 We should all be angry.

Haunted Paper. At Dorothy, Jamaica Street Liverpool. Weekdays 9-5 until September 19th.

Two weeks today it’ll be 17 years !! 😬 I joined the stem cell register after reading about 2 children who needed transplants to save their lives. They had the same name as my kids. Made me realise this could happen to ANYONE. Sadly, they both died 💔💔 but my cells saved someone else’s life 💙

Just read all this article. I want to say unbelievable but it’s not 😳

The video doesn’t do it justice but Z cars on that speaker system 🔥💙💙

The British pediatrician D. W. Winnicott once wrote, “There’s no such thing as a baby. There is a baby and someone.” Thread 🧵

Many of the columnists seemingly egging on English rioters don't even live in the UK. Private Eye again

The Haunted Paper exhibition is now open at Dorothy, Jamaica Street in the Baltic Triangle Liverpool. Thanks to everyone who came last night to the opening. Lots of you! And some great conversations. The exhibition is on until September 19th, weekdays. I would love you to see it.

The Centre for Migration Control? A “Think Tank” ran seemingly by one guy called Robert Bates, a Senior Reform Campaigner in the Channel 4 Documentary released last year ‘Undercover inside Reform’s campaign’. His data is wrong and purposely misleading. #news #uk #politics

Thank you for your work. I would also say mainstream media are almost completely bereft of journalistic desire or skill when it comes to covering Reform. There is no appetite to perform rudimentary fact-checking; they would rather have clicks for shits, than facts that prevent violence and division.

This is horrendous, a nightmare for an author 😡

A reminder that my talk “taking a line for a walk” is taking place 12.00 tomorrow (Sunday 3 August) at the Liver Building as part of Liverpool Art Fair. A big thank you to the kind people who have already promised to come. Free tickets via here liverpoolartfair.com/visit/ #art #liverpool
