Big manifestation planned by angry vine workers means all the city’s bins have been hidden
The streets are deserted
Riot vans, shields, tear gas all at the ready
We’re on our balcony (on the route) with popcorn

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

What makes the #BBC unique? It's funded by ordinary people paying less than 48p a day. It's not beholden to advertisers. It doesn't have a proprietor. Its mission is to be impartial. And crucially, it's *independent* of any UK government. Let alone the government of a foreign state. 1/

The campaign against "performative reading" is exactly what I would get on board with if I were a marketing person in, say, Spotify or Amazon and I wanted men to go back to listening to manly podcasts and audiobooks at 1.5x speed instead of gawping at bits of paper on the street like gay babies do.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

There is so much wrong her (the uncanny face, for one) but what gets me is the vibe of 'this impossible thing, having a woman say she'll love you forever and mean it,' - a thing very many, if not most straight men achieve in ceremonies performed in front of all of their friends and family.
Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

My hokey, hastily thought out opinion on Celebrity Traitors
People shouldn't fear diversity. Not just of race and sexuality though, but of education, skillset, personality type, ambition, financial leverage, cultural taste, sense of humour. Aspiring to monoculture is to waste the richness of life.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
