This is great, maybe particularly for fans of Derry Girls? @eleanormorton.bsky.social is one of the writers.

Trump taking Maduro is honestly the least bad thing he's done. Not sure why people are getting so self righteous about it, if he needs help with weight management that's his business

🌟Sincere post alert 🌟

Guys I am going into 2026 as a full time comedian and I won't lie....I'm a bit scared. For 6 years I had a brilliant 2 day a week writing job that kept me afloat, thats gone now. Even though I should have done it years ago, I feel like my safety net has been 1/3

Read @eleanormorton.bsky.social’s Life Lessons From Historical Women yesterday and it’s great! I loved how cleanly present day politics are linked into historical examples, which could have been really clunky from a lesser storyteller.

It’s also funny as all hell and digital for a quid right now.

Just a reminder to folk visiting Edinburgh next year please try your best to boycott the Elephant House. It's gone from a nice normal cafe with views of the castle to a mad tourist trap with a giant picture of Jakey R on the wall. It's like if everything wrong with Edinburgh's tourism was a cafe

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

@eleanormorton.bsky.social & @misterabk.bsky.social - thank you for a truly great podcast series that I look forward to each & every month. I just stumbled across this on BBC Sounds which ties together Alice’s adventures, the hobbit & Narnia beautifully. Have a great Christmas.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Part 2 should be in your Beaver Holes now!
It's an always-winter-but-never-Christmas miracle! Part 1 of the Eleanor & Alasdair Read That Xmas special is out now. Listen to me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social re-cap the story of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe with, frankly, too much enthusiasm.
