Not feeling great today, but my day has been vastly improved by watching Bill, my comfort film and possibly my favourite thing by @benwillbond.bsky.social & @lazbo.bsky.social (alongside everything else they do of, of course). on its 10th birthday no less! Happy birthday Bill!

So, they are going to share the locations of where highly vulnerable individuals live with firms which have suffered massive data breaches? Hmm, what could possibly go wrong.
Tweet from Starmer saying: We're cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people. 08:18 • 23/07/2025 • 140K Views

Anyone with a tiny amount of compassion:

we should open up safe routes for asylum seekers and, you know, help them

Labour:
what if we invest heavily in "fuck off home" robots

imagine being a child fleeing for your life and you arrive in a country where you just hope you'll be safe and the cunts start asking Grok if you can stay

I find articles like this about anxiety and depression very hope inspiring, even though I’m not sure I’m ready for the hope just yet. And grateful to everyone that shares their stories about it.

i can’t remember anything that has felt more foisted upon us than AI. repeatedly telling us why we actually need is like thinking a joke will get funnier the more you explain it.

If you could chuck a few bob our way I'd be very grateful. It's an immersive school project. The kids get hands-on experience of the filming process as well. They, and Lancaster Film Institute, are amazing. Please repost/share/bung us! Thanks, you're amazing too, whatever.

GOOD NEWS: Lead shot will be banned! RESULT!

After years of campaigning, the use of toxic lead ammunition by the shooting industry will be banned. This is excellent news for people's health and for wildlife.

Read the Defra press release here: wildjustice.org.uk/general/toxi...
Quote from Chris Packham: “In pipes, paint and petrol, we said goodbye to lead poisoning in humans years ago. But down to the cruel belligerence of the shooting industry, which ironically and pathetically postures as pro-conservation, 100 thousand wild birds a year have been dying through the accidental ingestion of lead shot. I don’t call that conservation, I call it a colossal, wilful waste of wildlife. Top work from Steve Reed and Emma Hardy - thank you.”

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice
Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

I've made a brand-new book! The first 200 people who buy it will get an exclusive signed and numbered copy! AND if you’re one of the first 100, you’ll get a lovely, limited-edition noticing notepad too! 📔✍️📚👏🎉💃 Pre-order your copy from
@biggreenbooks.bsky.social here: tinyurl.com/ycwdfphn
A photo of the book in hardcover against a blue background. The cover is a very light peach colour and has illustrations by Adam Beer of: a café in orange, a seagull and a girl with a kite in blue, a green pigeon, pink cow parsley and plastic bags and a yellow origami boat and leaves. The title is The place I’m in ‘WHAT I SEE WHEN I STOP TO NOTICE’ in black letters. It has this quote at the bottom ‘This Book is lovely’ by Philip Pullman. A photo of a double-page spread from the chapter 'AT THE PARK'. The colour of the pages is pink and the text is black and illustrations are in black and white. There are observations by me (the text is too small for most people to read I this image) and a black-and-white illustration on the left-hand page by Adam Beer, of a park with runners and trees, a close-up of a bush and a bee near a lavender flower. The right hand page has illustrations of a couple walking in a park from behind, a dachshund on a lead and a woman on a bicycle - facing away from us.

Nine months on and Labour are still sticking to their promise not to penalise ‘Working People,’ by focusing instead on those who can’t work or are retired.

It takes an average of 9.5 years to get a diagnosis of bipolar in the UK. If you want an ADHD assessment in Wales, there’s a 7 year waiting list. 10% of those still waiting for a 2nd contact in adult mental health services have been waiting at least 116 weeks. But tell me again about overdiagnosis

I love seeing coverage of comics for kids. (Tho for the love of Tharg, can we stop saying comics are a gateway to reading, THEY ARE READING). Here's to publishers learning the right lessons and not just "any old comics will do" www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... #KidLitUK

Listen it was a good campaign. He pounded the pavements. You’d see him running through the town, rapping on the windows, calling through the locks.

Had the most amazing time at MCM Birmingham today! Lucky enough to see @benwillbond.bsky.social and Larry Rickard, who are two of the loveliest people I’ve ever had the pleasure meet. I was so nervous and they were so nice and so much fun 💛 thank you both!

A thread on the AI nonsense. Bonus points for use of the word "dingbats".
canongate.co.uk Canongate @canongate.co.uk · Nov 25
What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companies—who secure £Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of culture—is mainly what it says about capital’s engagement with books
