Bet she uses fucking AI to write them too the fraudulent shithead. Only a grifting rich person could claim they've been "forced" to take up writing, a vocation real, talented writers with a lifelong passion for it barely scrape by on while Z-list celebs hoover up big scam payday deals.

Historic first official wild beaver release in England! Earlier today, our team was delighted to support the historic first licensed wild beaver release @nationaltrust.bsky.social site at Little Sea in Purbeck, Dorset. @naturalengland.bsky.social

TIL that all the world's major search engines (Google, Bing et al) are US based. Apparent European alternatives like Ecosia, Startpage, and Qwant are only frontends for US indexers. There's only one exception: the UK-based mojeek.com. The contrarian in me is sold www.mojeek.com/about/why-mo...

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Won't Forget It If democracy survives, this is the one Trump line that will go down in history, like a phrase from the Gettysburg Address. It's his confession, and now it is our mantra. We can never forget or forgive what these two men have done to our democracy.

This is coming back into print in May, an absolute downbeat masterpiece.

Such an important piece - and UK journalists treating this as a traditional political horse race story eg shouting “will you apologise” at Zelenskyy need to take note

This is why everyone shits on this party because "This man is ending the international rules based order we will defeat him by wearing pink for 2 hours while he yells at us" should get you shat on

Raising several glasses of Dorset cider to celebrate Heather. She was wonderful.

Even though no one reads my posts, I fcuking hate making typos.

Plus support. Doors 7.45.

I associate Shrove Tuesday with the Shrove Tuesday Football Ceremony of the Purbeck Marblers as much I do pancakes (my dad's been a member of the Company of Marblers and Stonecutters of Purbeck for more than 50 years). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_...

"Eventually, I think everyone will see why the American experiment was a mistake and why we should embrace totalitarian rule as quickly as possible. Besides, Americans won’t care about freedom of expression as long as the spaceships to Mars run on time."

UK MAGA fans getting increasingly marginalised, which doesn't make a huge difference to the wider world but is a mildly enjoyable sliver of a silver lining.

Extraordinary comment from Tory MP Graham Stuart this morning: “We have to consider the possibility that president Trump is a Russian asset. “If so, Trump’s acquisition is the crowning achievement of Putin’s FSB career — and Europe is on its own.” www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/03...

One of the points in my Great Depression lecture that always seems to surprise students is how radical the farmers got in their protests. In 1932, the head of a farmers group warned the Senate that his furious members would bomb them from the air if they could just afford an airplane to do it.

"I hope he dies on Mars."

It is so obvious Elon Musk is using his kid as a meat shield, and it is intensely repulsive.

If I were trying to avoid credible accusations of being a far right fascist piece of shit I probably wouldn't go on camera lecturing people on the "correct" way to do a Nazi salute but that's me.

I am very much enjoying how much Trump must be gnashing his teeth at the way we've rolled out the red carpet for Zelenskyy, and especially at how he's been to Sandringham to see the King. Trump will never be invited to Sandringham.

Have put Midnight Run on, to watch as I fall asleep, to make up for having made it to the end of Zero Day.

For some inexplicable reason I just thought of the old advert for Contac 400, and found it on YouTube, and was able to watch it for the first time in 40 years. Tiny time pills! Later deemed to increase the risk of a stroke, apparently. Whoops. youtu.be/zCX_q-rLgnA?...

Busted. Can anyone help me transfer 950 USD in Bitcoin?

one more time

Eighteen years late to the party, I decided to give Sons of Anarchy a go. Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Neighbours for bikers.

I Went Wild Swimming And It Was Bloody Horrible (Prints of my work available - link in bio)

Someone has mentioned wild swimming and has summoned this meme Wild swimmers be like:

I'm back at the Oakland Coliseum in 1977 again...

Y UK NO NUKE HITLER 1930s, Y?

Imagine how many kisses that brilliant nose has received...

#Caturday My main man Tommy.

I never go on marches and even I would join this march if the state visit goes ahead

BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has signed a £2.26 billion loan agreement with Ukraine to strengthen its defence capabilities, to be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets 👏

I’ve always been skeptical of folks who say Trump is a literal ‘Russian asset’ or that Moscow has ‘kompromat’ on him, and the Russia obsession hurt the Dems in term one… but… how does anyone explain this? Justify this? How? t.co/ie1nWaL8ot

The sale to Tortoise Media might be a blessing in disguise for those of us who value our sanity.
