Artist - AI is stealing our originality without our consent, undermining our intellectual property. (I've no problem with this, AI is the enshittification of creativity). Also artist - Please buy my cartoons of 1960s/70s TV programmes that I have no legal right to reproduce.

A few days ago, someone asked me what might happen if Reform won the next General Election. My reply was that they already have.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

The influence of #StGeorge isn't confined to England (or Turkey or Georgia). Here he is in the newly restored Notre Dame.

I think I've got room for another carrot.

What better way to mark our saviour's sacrifice this Good Friday than with the Tiger Lilies 'Banging in the Nails'? youtu.be/SvA8NPAl2Dg?...

@robinince.bsky.social A song that makes me cry. Refugees from 4'52. It was our song, and to witness it live so soon after I lost the most beautiful, brilliant, sexy, annoying, intelligent woman to cancer, broke me. Every time I hear it, she's with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFZ8...

Someone has never watched 'Top Gear'.

I can't reply, but it's great fun. Antonio Banderas is magnificent, as is Olivia Colman. There's one throwaway joke (during convent bingo) that made me laugh out loud. Hope yiu enjoy it!

Eight years ago to the day when Rowena and I were chased across a field in Hertfordshire by an angry emu.

@ booksky 💙📚 I'm a collector of 'golden age' crime fiction, but there's one title I'm missing to complete my collection. It's 'The Man Who Grew Tomatoes' by Gladys Mitchell. Can anyone help?

Starmer can choose to lead or to follow. If we were to align with the EU right now, we have the opportunity to be be a leader not only in Europe but a leader of Europe.

List five famous people you've met, but ONE is a lie. 1. Liz Truss 2. Barry Cryer 3. Leslie Crowther 4. Eleanor of Aquitaine 5. Alex James

#Trump wants to run the US as a limited company, He has a zero sum game approach to economics and has bankrupted almost every limited company he has ever owned. He lost money owning casinos, where he bucked the trend that 'the house always wins' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_E...

It's almost as though this hadn't been thought through. Excellent thread as usual from Anton.

If Trump's so keen on McKinley, there's one way he could emulate him for the good of the USA. #JustSaying #Trump #Tarrifs

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social I loved the first part of the Thatcher Origin Story. She was the first PM to become an "-ism". As you say, her appeal was based on belief rather than ideas; dogmatic, puritan and Manichean. The bellwether for today's political bellicosity.

I'm voting for Chuck Schumer. #boom-tish 🥁

Great start to the #AbsoluteUnits podcast from @themerl.bsky.social I see that the latest edition of @historytoday.com is paying suitable homage.

In the Eurostar departure area and the French border control system has just broken. One poor bloke is stuck between passport control and facial ID.

Four books I've loved this year so far. 🧵💙📚 1. Arise, England. A brilliant history of the creation of the English State under the Plantagenets.

Apart from the systemic cruelty, once again absolutely no effort has been made to reform the demand side of the employment equation. Also, the social model of disability has again been ignored in favour of medical reductionism and physical function. Shame on every Labour MP supporting this.

Arthur Ransome's last novel was not a success.

Congratulations to our geordie followers, whose footballing success we predicted three years ago. Namely in the pages of Fence #10, when @daveyjones.bsky.social told this tale of a magical night out for Kevin Keegan and HRH Mohammed Bin Salman.
