In Minnesota police set up a sting operation to catch child sex traffickers.

They caught 16 men. No immigrants. No trans people. All US Citizen Men.

One was an ICE fascist who said, "I'm ICE boys" when arrested, perhaps expecting to get special attention. He was arrested anyway.

So much winning.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism.

From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved:

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

New on the blog: The arcane alphabets of Black Sabbath

To commemorate Ozzy Osbourne, we took a deep dive into the obscure typefaces used on Black Sabbath’s first four album covers.

One of the hardest artistic depictions is making a wink look like a wink instead of a small seizure. This artist didn't quite make it.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵

First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

It’s precisely because Brexiters howl about betraying fish and talk shit about sovereignty/immigration *and our media amplifies their nonsense*, that govt is trapped by fear, unable to freely negotiate in our best interests in case Farage/Daily Mail have a meltdown.
Beyond time for the goddam truth.
