Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

A real treat and a privilege to be at the UK premiere of this. The audience view films that get a real release as 'proper' films and less disposable, more valued. Evil producers and wrecker streamers are depriving these films of a chance at a loyal audience.

Happy to mention that in today's session with my trusted guide, I tried @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social 's practice of reading the base card of the shuffled and prepared deck — I did this at the end of the session, noting it as the 'founder card' — and it was surprisingly affirming, and clarifying!

Saw The Ballad of Wallis Island, in which a Bernard Butler type songwriter is tempted to an island by a superfan, but which is so much warmer and richer and more complex than that premise makes it sound. Properly lovely UK film that deserves your support.

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Just got this update from Kobo which says it's going to use AI to read my works to "enhance" discoverability and marketing, and determine the "suitability" of the works and "adherence to Kobo’s Terms of Service" among other things. Which is why I'm immediately pulling my books from Kobo.

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS because they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

The fact that they use the US term "DEI" rather than the UK term "EDI" is a pretty clear indication that they're taking their cues directly from Trump's racist, neo-fascist government.

I know this isn't the point. But Liverpool has great museums and galleries, superb nightlife for all tastes, two awesome cathedrals, an attractive docklands, rich musical and footballing heritage, and a boycott of the Sun. If you believe it's a shithole, you're both intellectually lazy and wrong.

I don't think the general population actually understands the risk. The genocidal entity known as "Israel" attacked the last flotilla with drones with clear intent to sink it. And years ago attacked another flotilla killing 10 people commando-style all with impunity. They know no one will stop them.

This is the same though. Nobody seems to get the connection. Artists can explain. If you were part of normalising the financial value of art being zero, despite its cultural value being enormous - and we all fell for that offer - the current situation is all our collective fault.
