Tonight, we rewatched #Babylon5 Severed Dreams.

One of the finest pieces of television ever made

The President is a tyrant and a fascist, sending his private gestapo and the military to attack civilians.

Anyway, good luck California, we’re watching some 30 year old telly.

Agonisingly topical.
New episode!

It's a HUGE turning point on #Babylon5 as Sheridan battles Clark's forces and Delenn takes drastic action

@brandiwine.bsky.social joins @lukewinch.bsky.social & @bazgreenland.bsky.social to talk Severed Dreams!

Only on @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social

Not to get ahead of ourselves but we are just putting the finishing touches to a VERY exciting announcement for Doctor Who Day on Sunday. Watch this space... (pun absolutely intended).

people will tell you not to use jargon. fuck those people. technical language is impossibly beautiful. it's beautiful when you don't understand it, and then it's beautiful all over again when you do. i could read paragraphs of this stuff all day long.

Dick Gaughan is fantastic. I suddenly need to go and listen to his versions of Song of the Iron Road, and Tom Paine's Bones.

I wonder if the history of labour relations and employment can tell us anything?

*checks notes*

Starvation, poverty, victim-blaming...

Join a union. Or start one.

Don't go at it alone.
To me, the 800lb gorilla in the room with AI is, what is being done to plan for Universal Basic Income due to all of the job losses? I rarely hear it even being discussed.

'Labour politicians who believe they must simply hold their nose and pass these latest morally degrading policies in order to stem the rise of racism are deluding themselves.'

Showing the racists that racism works will not stem the tide of racism.

Happy 40th Birthday to the six year old I wish I was and the tiger that we all wish we had. The first Calvin & Hobbes strip was published today, November 18th, 1985 in just 35 newspapers. Bill Watterson, thank you for everything.

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel.

Controlled migration is good for the country, helps build our economy and diversity strengthens our communities. (1/6) 🧵

Scottish Wildcats were, until now, creatures unknown to me. Turns out, they look exactly how you would expect a Scottish Wildcat to look like...

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.

Every single human in the world is the product of migration.

It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.

That’s never going to change.

Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

Whenever I gigged in Rhyl (at the theatre across from where John Prescott punched that man), I always made sure to pick up a copy of their local paper, The Rhyl Journal, for every edition was guaranteed to feature a story that was absolutely WILD!

Here are three fine examples.

FYI: The dog was ok.

Utterly vile. Only hope that enough backbench Labour MPs have a conscience and stop this.
This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities
