This can never be said too much 📚💙📚💙

This trailer has me HOOKED. Cannot wait.

Lots of real sense being talked here - some of it really needed.

We knew this was coming. We've been preparing for months. Call your reps. Don't give them rest. And you don't need to wait and hold your breath on a bill like this - take sensible precautions NOW. This article offers dozens of places to start.

I have written a detailed account of Trump's relationship with Russia. "a reasonable analytical conclusion [is] that Trump has a political debt to the Russians which could prove problematic for him if fully ventilated" Trump is a Russian agent of influence. 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

I’m not normally a BBC basher but it’s *still* referring to what happened in the White House yesterday as a “shouting match”, a “ spat” and a “row”. We all watched it. That’s not an accurate depiction of events.

It’s handy that there are so many experts on diplomacy and global politics on my feed today.

That State visit ... I mean, are they going to lock us all out of London when the coward rocks up?

"Following advice from Chris Rea, I always crack an egg into my bath"

"Right. Deep breath. Firstly, are you ok?"

If you see something that doesn't look right, speak to staff, or text the British Transport Police on 61016. We'll sort it. See it, say it, sorted.

"I voted for yourself"

I am LOVING the ‘there’s a famous slogan in the United Kingdom’ riffs. This is when social media is at its absolute best.

This was excellent. And as someone who appreciates my HRT, the urge to defend trans rights for the sake of all rights did not fall on deaf ears.

This is lovely.

Oh no. Gene Hackman! One of my absolute faves.

We talked defence spending and aid cuts, the new axis of horror following the UN vote, peppered with some wokey dokey bingo and a dollop of good news 🎧👇

Last day to fill in the government's consultation on AI

A bit of silly distraction from 'everything'. nickybondramblings.blogspot.com/2025/02/no-m...

I've possibly invented a sauce. And I've written a wanky para re: my feelings about my characters. Plus the best TV this year. Come on, get clicking! nickybondramblings.blogspot.com/2025/02/smal...

Very much enjoyed doing this Quiet Riot podcast with Naomi & Alex. A lot of strategy in here on how organisations like European Movement UK and Best for Britain actually operate... and how our complementary campaigning methods work very effectively. Make sure you follow @quietriotpod.bsky.social!

Oh wow. The third series of Big Boys is something else. Exceptional stuff.

It's Valentine's week, so I've written about my great loves. A film, a playwright, and a cake... nickybondramblings.blogspot.com/2025/02/feel...

Microsoft just put up the price of your subscription without your consent. Mine rose from £79.99 per year to over £100. The extra is because they've strapped their 'AI copilot' in to every program. You can refuse this increase and these features. Instructions below.

Too much to do for this many snoozes... nickybondramblings.blogspot.com/2025/02/too-...

The world's algorithms are skewed right now. Let's try to redress the balance... nickybondramblings.blogspot.com/2025/01/see-...

You know how to cut sickness benefits? Cut sickness. How do you cut sickness? By investing in and improving the health system. (Also tackle the cost of living so people can afford healthier lifestyles.)

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

Llooooool

*THAT'S* who she looks like! It's been bugging me for ages. What a legend.

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." #thetraitors

Where can I get Claudia’s hat? #traitors

CAT IN TESCO, THERE IS A CAT IN TESCO, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Authors going on socials to say thanks for their PLR statement are a reminder that - despite what the likes of Zuckerberg say - people’s work is worth something, and that if you pay micropayments to creators, it makes a huge difference to their viability. Because lots of us don’t earn all that much.

This was excellent.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever
