JD Vance. Impressive. It comes to something when you're sat right next to Donald Trump but you come across as the bigger twat.

I’m thrilled that @waterstones.bsky.social have included the first book in my Jake Sawyer crime thrillers in their weekend #WPreorder promotion. Pre-order online or via the Waterstones app before midnight on Monday Feb 24th to get 25% off. Use code PREORDER25. www.waterstones.com/book/creepy-...

Incredible. 😂 Whatever happens with the current global batshittery, at least we have @theonion.com

A brilliant, brilliant piece. Forever Changes is an ageless masterpiece that moulds to the dark times.

This is corporate doublespeak of the highest order. And do the advertisers really think anyone dutifully sits there and watches the ads? Presumably most people just lower the volume and look at something on their phone. Or stare at the floor.

‘Free speech at all costs! Er, unless we don’t like what’s being said.’

Also, this whole premise rests on him encountering people who are simultaneously savvy enough to con the government out of an entire house by feigning homelessness, but so clueless as to immediately spill the beans about the whole thing when casually asked by some random berk Seems... unlikely?

Attention - people who say ‘double-u, double-u, double-u, dot…’ before a website address. You don’t need to do that.

I suppose air traffic control is woke now?

Tiny bit of irony here, no? #ai

@chartmusictotp.bsky.social I’m going to miss him so badly when the Oasis fuckshow begins this summer.

Yep.

In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

Watching the Traitors just reinforces that we really need to work on a good jury selection process.

A glorious tribute. ‘He had no precedents, only imitators. And now we’re living in a post-Lynch world.’

RIP David Lynch. Weird and always wonderful. #davidlynch youtu.be/F4wh_mc8hRE?...

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan. As Kate Mosse says, seeking economic growth "cannot be on the basis of theft of our work". www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Ohhhh this film! It broke my heart about eight times but also made me cry with joy. There is so much in it: trauma, resilience, triumph, agony, our place in nature. Harry Turner is a total fucking marvel. (Watch it on Amazon Prime). #wildcat

Ok. Double figures for January. Only 47 days to go.

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trump at Jimmy Carter’s funeral looks like a twelve-year-old on a Mediterranean holiday forced to listen to the tour guide at a ruined monastery. #jimmycarter

This is a Family WhatsApp group annual tradition. I try to wait for the second week of Jan to post it. (Thank you @vizcomic.bsky.social )

It doesn’t take a genius to see how much revenue artists and authors bring into a country, and yet here we are with a supposedly progressive government telling creatives they should let AI steal all their work 🥲

😖

This is just amazing. And it makes me want to re-read London Fields. 😀 #darts www.instagram.com/reel/DDh44jr...

X isn't dying fast enough because people aren't abandoning it. It's still an open sewer of awful racist, transphobic, disgusting shit. I have to close it. It was a great resource of links, info but that can be found elsewhere, hopefully among those who migrated to Bluesky. X must end. Musk must end.

The term ‘only child’ needs an update. It implies something lesser, a deficit. Should be ‘single child’.

This still drops me right back into 1980s childhood Christmas Eve. It’s like a time machine - I can almost taste the excitement. And now I’m all grown up, I get the bittersweet flavour too. youtu.be/yfY4b1NszpY?...

Terrifying as ever but still nice to see Benny from Grange Hill. :)

Lovely work, Steve.

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators. More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live): 1. Email your MP. Template letter in 🧵 👇 1/10
