This is a lovely sentiment and all, but self-evidently it's bollocks. The history of LA, of its poorest (non-white) communities, of its huge homeless population, and the abuses of the LAPD, tells you that.

Sad to think that the majority of Generation Z probably have no idea what a Toby jug is. And that's why I'm voting Reform.

It must be pretty sobering to think that at any given time there is least one man stalking you, and trying to break into your home. TS seems to have had at least six of these individuals. The emotional toll must be enormous. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

This is the reason why our British daughter and her Mexican husband could not & still cannot live in her own country, which is what they wanted to do. They're self-employed artists, not wealthy enough. Theirs is one case among thousands of others, some of them tragic. www.change.org/p/stop-the-i...

Georges Seurat's painting depicts a farmer in his fields; it belongs to a series of small-scale paintings on panels or ‘croquetons’ as Seurat called them. This was painted two before 'Grande Jatte,' his magnum opus in 1885, at the age of 25.

Being part of the whole Unbound saga has not been fun; one consolation has been the support of the many other authors involved. And so, in that spirit, we've put together a list of some of the great books that now need publishers and agents. Please do share! open.substack.com/pub/therebou...

The architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born #OTD 7 June 1868. The only church he designed was St Matthew Free Church, Queens Cross, Glasgow, today the Mackintosh, an arts venue and home of the Mackintosh Society. His original furnishings survive, including this pulpit.

Govt advisors were briefing that they were going to drop the swift bricks policy because it seemed 'too woke' (and not popular with Reform voters). Now look who's backing it. Eventually this govt will realise that it should just govern, not spend the whole time trying to appeal to Reform voters.
