This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.

An independent bookshop is one of the best things you can support right now.

Hate that they call them quiet carriages when you're booking.
It gives the impression that each seat is booked by other people who want low noise levels.
When all the 'quiet' really means is that not many seats have sold on it yet

Stephen JC @sjcoltrane.bsky.social · 1d

I find quiet carriages are either like hushed churches, or family reunions. This is the latter.

2 weeks later than planned (a bad back) but think I might have finished the layouts & printing prep for the new book that collects many years of stupid comic work.

It's called Vintage and there's a link below.

This little drawing included.

That's not a TfL site, and TfL own the copyright on the map. So I assume whoever owns that site has to produce a version that's very clearly not the real map to avoid getting sued.

As a writer, I have been rejected thousands of times, and it initially led to shock, denial and anger. Then I accepted it. Here’s what you can gain from doing so too

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.
