Office coffee machine is broken. How’s your Monday going?

ALSO WHILE I AM ON A RANT: I don't get Cruise's obsession with posting making-of material about the big set-piece stunt in advance of the film. I assume it's to drum up interest, but it has the opposite effect, for me.

An historic image capturing the very essence of trump’s USA

So I have now seen last year’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE- DEAD RECKONING flick, and that’s nearly three hours of my life I’ll never get back.

WHAT

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

In his autobiography, #mcbane recounts facing off against seven people after he robbed one of them. As ever, at our last workshop at #mcbane2025, Smith shows how to do this. (The fight, not the robbing.)

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy. We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

DIRTY CUTLERY

Morning! Let’s get this shit started.

This is, hands down, one of the most idiotic and patently hateful decisions I have ever seen. Why would fishing even be sex segregated? Gender "critical" ideology is causing people to loose all capacity for critical and rational thought.

I exist!

And the master classes happened at #mcbane2025. No photos, because I was busy giving an introduction to bullwhip. #mcbane

Must. Fold.

And we’re off! After a stick-based warm-up, we’re into a shillelagh workshop from Emanuel Meyer. #mcbane #mcbane2025

Barbadian Felix Augustus Scott b. 1856 was a court-martialled Royal Navy stoker, a homeless hawker, a champion professional boxer, and a Showman who managed a boxing booth travelling Britain for decades. He accidentally killed a man. And bit a cop's ear off: grapplingwithhistory.com/2025/04/23/b...

A pleasing detail.

Second breakfast. #hobbit #mcbane #mcbane2025

Scene of the crime.

Someone’s in my usual seat - OUTRAGE - so here’s a different set of lovely Georgian buildings outside Black Medicine Coffee for day two of #mcbane2025. Pity about the roadworks. #mcbane

Literally next up on my to-be-read pile. And long past due.

Eid Mubarak! Say it back. 🌙✨🌟

Dropping out of #mcbane Friday early so that I don’t spend Saturday curled up in a fetal position. #mcbane2025 #old

Glad the Hand Grenade milk stout is inspired by the milk that healed wounded #mcbane after a battle, and not the dogs’ lights and oil they also used. #mcbane2025

Holy crap, the smoked chilli in this Soldier’s Leap is, um, not subtle. #mcbane #mcbane2025

“Haggis Smoothie” #mcbane #mcbane2025

Early Eastercon reports.

Security understandably nervous as we rock up to the National Library with a bag of swords, a targe, and a six-foot Lochabre axe. #mcbane #mcbane2025

Specially-brewed beers to tie in with the stories from #mcbane’s own life. #mcbane
