Planthony, I salute you. Superb.
If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Made a little felt Triffid, based on the Penguin paperback cover.
In retrospect I wish I hadn’t chosen the most nutsack colour to sew what was already quite a bollockular form but sometimes I quite enjoy having created myself a bit of an obstacle to deal with, or in this case, a testicle to surmount

Very much worth a minute of your time
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?
Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Reforms key message is now you absolutely can get exactly the same politics as the last losing Tory government only under the auspices of the somewhat invisible MP for Clacton.

I think promising that you’ll only commit your most horrible crimes in secret isn’t *that* good a promise.
SHUT THE FUCKERS DOWN.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

@secondmentions.bsky.social “the short-fingered vulgarian” is some top-tier work by Mark Hamill.
Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it.
Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂

Mamdani is here describing a vision of working-class consumerism that resonates with the 19th century theorists of the “living wage” and shorter hours movements, whom I wrote about in my first book. “Eight Hours for What Will,” very much included the arts, education, and pleasure.
