If you really wanted a Philosopher King, America, he was RIGHT THERE.

No parts in The Arts if you’re working class? www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

is this man crazy or what? I don't understand how anyone like him can ignore the whole of science and be put in charge of a country's health. He looks like one of the "Sontaran" clones, portrayed in British science fiction television programme "Doctor Who". #clonezone

i just had to share my sweet baby on the skyline! nicholas says happy friday guys 🧡🧡

Lovely, lovely stuff - wishing this pure and wholesome pair the very best

Me realising I have to pick ten records from 600+ amazing responses.

Today is monkey day and I am very excited

'People like us don't become writers.' Tell me about it! I am *still* so often the only working-class person in one of these rooms. And it is *not* getting easier. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

From the headline I assumed he'd finally noticed that ethnonationalism might have its downsides as a strategy, but reading it, it's actually more "Leopards ate my face. Here's why we may soon not require faces"

Oh I see you think the rise in overt racism has nothing to do with you as former editor of the Spectator that loved to publish Douglas Murray, Rod Liddle and Lionel Shriver

Fraser Nelson blocked me on Twitter because he wrote an article about how the UK is the best place to be Black so I sent him a picture of the all white Spectator staff in LONDON and asked if this was you he said “I hire on ability” LOOOOOL

Shadow Doge update - the game designer I have engaged has just messaged the following words: “We’re getting dangerously close to an actual, insane thing here.”

"How can you be a remotely competent historian without acknowledging this thing I just made up in my head right now for which there is no evidence???"

Interesting. @edsplace.bsky.social seems to be from the US but he butts into posts about Musk attempting to pervert Irish justice from combating the far right with this sort of weirdo bugfuckery. One for the blocklists.

Don't tell me, tell @oldfoolspod.bsky.social...I'm about to suggest Julian Clary.

Don't think I've ever seen a concept as powerful as 'woke'. It terrifies them and drives them crazy, it's like early Christianity

Tax the rich, FFS. Just do it, before it's too late to do anything.

I thought you might like to know a bit about my new morning routine, which consists of avoiding looking at the news, then 30 minutes later taking a little peek, then spending about an hour in a state of burning rage as I read about the continuing exploits of literally the worst humans in the world

I'm starting to regret asking the AI to generate an even worse news story every fifteen minutes.

In the latest Guardian Blind Date: The thunderbolt! Fireworks! Negronis! And it's really quite beautiful. My review:

Muriel and I went for a walk after dinner and suddenly found ourselves at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and waving a little flag.

There will be a Guardian Blind Date review today impeccable.theguyliner.com

Well, listeners. If we WERE to deny Trump the oxygen of publicity, who would YOU like to hear "doing his voice"?

Apple is pulling its iCloud Advanced Data Protection encryption feature in the UK after government spying demands. You can no longer enable ADP in the UK, and existing users will have to disable it at some point to keep using their iCloud accounts www.theverge.com/news/617273/...

Breaking 🚨 Apple is removing ADP (Advanced Data Protection) in the UK, a dangerous precedent. ADP offers end to end encryption for iCloud—should you be concerned? Let's unpack it.

thanks labour. 🙄

Maybe you should talk to some artists, Lisa? They'll tell you about the impact of government funding. Honestly this government are plumbing new depths. To talk about "virtue signaling" in what's a pathetic attempt to signal you're "anti-woke" or some such nonsense is hypocritical and dense.

No US company should be allowed anywhere near a deal for critical infrastructure.
