NEW: The cleavage shot no UK tabloid will print.

If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on.

A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed.

Just found what I can only presume is my grandfather Abraham’s enamelled office name plate, at the bottom of my grandma’s sewing table. Whether it came from pre-war Germany or from London I don’t know, but what a delightful thing to have!

Tuned in to the Grimsby - Man U penalty shootout on BBC Radio 5. Utterly delightful to hear the commentators’ genteel astonishment and increasing amusement as goal after goal after goal went in.

Seeing The Soil Never Sleeps being read in the wild makes me very happy!
Reading @adamhorovitz.bsky.social as I walk the Two Mors Way across Devon. Random page, sat on a hill, overlooking pastures, #Dartmoor in the distance, and a soil bioacoustics sensory in the ground. I'm literally trying to listen to the soil, to the landscape. I'm only wearing a little gor-tex

Ever so slightly terrified to be going to this at Rodborough Tabernacle this evening, at which various people I know, and some I don't, will be reading my poems back to me.

I love this article, about how Superman started off with beating up employers who didn’t respect workers rights, and tackling other similar abuses of power… it is as @adamhorovitz.bsky.social told me 🤓https://www.bbc.co.uk/culture/article/20250703-how-superman-started-out-as-a-radical-rebel
'He was a violent socialist': How Superman started out as a radical rebel
Returning to cinemas next week, the superhero may be known as the ultimate all-American Mr Nice Guy – but, back in the 1930s, he didn't begin that way.
