All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

Why are @theguardian.com's fashion articles so instantly infuriating? This sweater one is stuffed with pictures of thin men and >£120 items. And as for this... who the hell spends £88 more for the same thing?

Piece by @anguscchrn.bsky.social on McTears' nazi memorabilia. As followers from my Twitter days will know, McTears do it regularly, and not just in militaria auctions. If they must do it, how about they donate their fees to suitable charities? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Did some Hansard crunching for Catherine Nixey's entertaining piece on Parliamentary debate: www.economist.com/britain/2025... "Parliament’s benches are less a place to go to pose questions than to pose for clips on X. This House seems to believe old-fashioned debating is a waste of time."
