This was a fun trip down memory lane — never owned CRAP TOWNS, but definitely remember leafing through it in Waterstones aged 14 and chuckling despite my total ignorance of most of the towns; maybe I bought it for Dad? — with a sobering kicker re: undetected early warning signs of schisms to come

Whether deliberate thematic resonance or simple coincidence, on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, it was good to see the UK’s Only Magazine @thefence.bsky.social give ample space in today’s newsletter to the grotesque injustice of the death of Jean Charles De Menezes

For @thefence.bsky.social I'm collecting EXTREMELY PETTY MONEY SAVING TIPS for the coming recession, eg using white bread instead of pencil erasers or buying a 1981 calendar for 2026 because the days will line up. If any of you can beat this absurdly niche example I've just been sent, I'm all ears.

'The real kicker for anyone in the asylum system is what happens at the end. Our government might grudgingly accept your asylum claim. Because everything they do, they do grudgingly: every letter and every email reminds you of the inconvenience you have caused.'
