Periodically, this @pftompkins.bsky.social bit about the quality clientele he would encounter during his time working at a novelty hat shop will bubble up in my brain and then, having delighted me once again, will recede into the depths to await its next surprise visit...

Every year the press runs the same made up story about so-called ‘Remembrance Sunday condoms’ but it’s poppycock.

Anyone else remember Celebrity Traitors in 1995?
What a series that was. Michael Parkinson, Gabrielle and Tim Curry as the Traitors. The unlikely friendship between Brian Moore and Art Malik. Mollie Sugden's fart. Adrian Moorhouse's eye-roll. All hosted by Eve Pollard.

🎬 The arts aren’t a luxury - they’re an export.
At #Lab25, @aiannucci.bsky.social reminds us that the UK’s Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy and 7% of our workforce - the GDP equivalent of oil + car industries combined.

According to a recent poll the Greens would win a UK General Election if only the under 50s voted - no surprise as same demo would have returned Corbyn in 17 and 19 - it’s just that we are overwhelmed by the boomer vote who are incredibly right wing and actually show up to vote.

Nope. If one is a traitor, they offer the other half the prize fund to keep quiet about it and be in the final two with them. Otherwise they both get voted out and get nothing.

The days of Henry Ford making sure his employees had enough money to buy the cars they were building are long gone. Capitalism no longer needs working/middle class customers because they can make billions from voodoo economics.
They’ll eventually eliminate the state and replace us all with AI.

Forty million people are poised to lose food access. Nearly three quarters of a million federal workers are furloughed. Corporations are laying off tens of thousands at a time. We face the worst unemployment crisis since the pandemic. Farmers are broke.
Today the stock market reached a record high.

Well I didn’t have Heseltine down as being the one who’d call out the truth about Reform. I think maybe I hoped there’d be more than one.
“Reform is fascist. We must stop Nigel Farage.”
Michael Heseltine is on a mission to stop Reform UK. Superb interview by @alicettimes.bsky.social, with ”share token”.
