You love to see it.

This is why you need human editors.

The IDF is a terrorist organisation. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

3 more days on the Cymera auction, and still LOADS of great things available! Please boost and bid if you're ale! www.32auctions.com/cymera2025

FFS, leave Jewish people alone. They’re not all responsible for Israel’s war crimes just because they’re Jewish. Hold Netanyahu and the IDF responsible - the people who actually are!

Yellowstone is just Succession on a ranch. An asshole father emotionally and psychologically abusing his broken children on the pretence he’s trying to “make them ready” for their inheritance, with some politics thrown in. Still, good watch.

Black woman tries to outflank a racist misogynist and is confused by her failure. 🫠

Seriously, nearly every book printed for over a century has some variation of this on the first page. If this isn’t an explicit opt out I don’t know what is… This version courtesy of @justinleeanderson.com at the start of The Lost War (Which I am ironically reproducing and transmitting)

I still can’t get my head around the fact we won the fucking Scottish Cup. 😁 🐑 🔥

So you admit that the #AI industry is not viable without stealing our work, meaning it has inherent value that you refuse to acknowledge.

Today is a good day. 🐑 🔥

We’ve somehow incredibly reached a point where the President of the United States is openly using his position to accumulate wealth and the entire Republican Party are OK with it.

inside me there are two wolves and one of them is embarrassed to be doing this much publicity posting and the other one is like SELL BOOK EARN MONEY BUY LITTLE TREATS

In 10 days the #SPFBO champions' league starts! A decade's worth of champions competed together to find the champion of champions. Check out the judges: hardy perennials, returning favourites, & visiting superstars! #SPFBOCL (Spiffbocl) mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/05/afte...

God. Fucking. Damn it. Happy now, Joanne? Happy with how you’ve made women safer? You’re a fucking dolt, and you’ve put people in danger because you got sucked into a cult by an imagined threat and threw money at it like confetti so your fellow cultists would shower you in love.

Literal Israeli ministers saying "we will cleanse and occupy Gaza" and centrists are still "woah woah woah calling it ethnic cleansing or genocide is too much, they're just defending themselves!"

I was sat leaning against a pillar. Suddenly realised I was late for something else. Jumped up, turned around and ran straight into the pillar.

Brexit was a betrayal. Let’s start there.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

The notion that you are inherently more deserving of a decent standard of living because of the imaginary lines around the slab of land where you happened to be born is the most bullshit of all human bullshit.

I’m sorry (not sorry) but if you’re romanticising a PLANTATION, Jesus H Christ on a bike, just stop and THINK for a second. Think about how many people were tortured, raped and murdered by literal white supremacists to maintain that building. History happened whether you like it or not.

Just watching the new Love, Death and Robots and it occurred to me to wonder: what if when Jesus ascended to heaven, he was just beaming back up to the mothership?

SFF. Books. Politics.

Thing about the “left needs to be more moderate” strategy is that the right will just keep falling for their own bait no matter what we do. We never actually scolded people for assuming our genders, the right decided it’d be funny if we did and then decided that’s the same as us having done that.

Hell yes. youtu.be/WpW36ldAqnM?...

Superman sounding off for the innocent victims of war and deriding an evil president? I am in. youtu.be/Ox8ZLF6cGM0?...

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

It is frankly inconceivable to me that Keir Starmer watched the Tories desperately try to ape Reform, spectacularly fail and be run out of office, and thought, “Yep, that’s the way to do it!” What an utter fucking moron.

Labour are running scared of Reform and have nothing left but dog whistles. Our crumbling infrastructure & failing public services are the fault of the politicians who gave us austerity, NOT people who moved here for a better life and deliver those public services, run businesses and create jobs.

I'm so excited to be asked to take part in the inaugural Dundee book festival. I lived in Dundee for five years as a student and had some of the best times of my life there!
