Love to see a community come together when ICE Nazis show up to their neighborhood and send them packing ….👏👏👏👏 South Park neighborhood of San Diego

A worrying case - blasphemy isn’t illegal - but here it has been judged to be.

(Reuters) - FEMA staff left baffled after the disaster agency's head said during a briefing that he hadn't been aware the US has a hurricane season. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fema-staff-confused-after-head-said-he-was-unaware-us-hurricane-season-sources-2025-06-02/

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

If you’ve read about the Unbound/Boundless scandal, you’ll know that quite a few authors are owed significant amounts of money. If you want to support them in a small way, it would be brilliant if you signed up to their newsletters/blogs etc, or bought any of their non-Unbound books. 1/n

In fact, what is your favourite painting? Mine is Joseph Wright's Experiment with a Bird in an Air Pump because it reminds me of the wonder of science in a way my mediocre medical career failed to do

I’ve been working with BBC Panorama on a documentary about the pressures on the UK’s public finances - and why the state is struggling to provide public services that meet our expectations. This is the first minute. The whole film is here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

'It is also reported to have spent more than £1 million developing a machine learning tool which was supposed to assess someone’s social media networks to estimate how effectively they could crowdfund a book. It was never successfully deployed.' www.thetimes.com/uk/arts/arti...

Going to also to try to bring up Maralinga, and the continuing concerns there among the indigenous communities about nuclear test residues, as I was in the #HouseofLords in 2022 www.nataliebennett.org/latest/nucle...

Equally plausible is “Ukraine decided not to share this information with a known Russian asset”

Excitingly, the winning & shortlisted (🙋‍♀️) entries for the #Curae Prize will be published in an anthology by lovely @renardpress.com later in the year. For an emerging (but wizened) writer, this feels like getting off the mark. And doing it with a cohort of fellow carer-writers is really meaningful.

Introducing our three 2025 #Curae prize winners Poetry. Charlotte Ansell. 'Sinkhole' Nonfiction. Rebekah Lawler. '200 Pink Buns' Fiction. Judy Gordon. 'Phyllis' thecuraeprize.uk

Pretty dramatic day in Russia: Ukrainian drones have reportedly attacked four Russia air bases, destroying a significant number of strategic bombers and radar planes. (Tu-95s, Tu-22, A-50) Russian milbloggers are furious. One calls it a "black day," another says they need to nuke Kyiv.

472. This is a number of drones russia launched at Ukraine overnight. The attack resulted in 13 deaths and over 60 injuries, damages to residential areas, civilian infrastructure and a military training centre.

One of the few genuinely amusing parts of the whole Unbound/Boundless saga is that they had an active policy of trying to secure books written by authors wiith strong social media presences. Which is a group you DEFINITELY don't want to screw over while then trying to sell a new grift.
