As I left the beach earlier, there was someone in the shallows, swimming in the moonlight. It must’ve been ice cold but I can understand the lure of the shining path out to sea.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I increasingly feel certain that the thing that has driven politics insane is the growing ability of people to find ways to validate their beliefs, no matter how incorrect and irrational. It started in right-wing media but has become central to all political discussion.

Just got back from @thisisdeepseadiver.bsky.social and hot damn, that was amazing! The band are fantastic, top to bottom, but those drums and the energy! Those beautiful guitar tones and little squalls of noise! Absolutely delicious, and my ears ate it up. Everyone - go see them.

there’s no way to summarise 6 years of my life and making this record in a single post but an attempt will be made! i’m so happy that this album gets to exist in your ears as it has done in mine for quite some time.

Starmer's language was deplorable.
It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.
But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵
