Yes - it's war. With newts. Put on your goggles. Pull on your wet suit. Sunday 8.00pm BBC Radio 3 - and after @bbcsounds.bsky.social @edmundharris.bsky.social @reducedlistening.bsky.social @bbcradio3.bsky.social

Had enough of dystopian despots, disaster capitalism, rising sea levels, AI, the threat of world war and plutocrats making money from the end of the world? Not yet you haven’t! 😂 This Sunday on @bbcradio3 at 8pm, my feature-length adaptation of #KarelCapek’s prescient 1936 novel, War With The Newts!

On Elon Musk’s repeated attacks on Keir Starmer’s government Sky’s @samcoatessky.bsky.social rightly points out “If we were talking about a figure close to the Kremlin or the government in Moscow we would be asking the question whether this was foreign interference” @sophyridge.bsky.social

Fellow Brits! At some point as a kid in the UK in the 90s, everyone started saying “styleee” (in that universally ironic way we said anything resembling slang in those days) - can anyone date when it began, or specifically what it referenced? It’s for a Thing I’m writing 🙏 Thanks! 🇬🇧

@thomas-reed.bsky.social Ello Thomas! 👋
