Our Dan Dare Kickstarter is now launching 1 March 26 - visit the page to register your interest!
The pesky demands of other projects has meant we’re not quite ready. We don't want to drip-feed @marclaming.bsky.social @alexdecampi.bsky.social preview pages, so we're going to postpone our launch until 1 March. Trust us it’ll be worth the wait. #dandare

Major news for local government finance. Great that there's now more certainty - without action it's likely the majority of councils would have faced 'bankruptcy' in 28/29.
But unclear (at least to me) where the £5bn is coming from. For context that's about 8% of the core schools funding for 25/26

Every spineless Democrat that can't do the bare goddamn minimum of recognizing that hey, it's perfectly cool to fight in this environment when tens of thousands of Americans are protesting every few months, so let's at least not KEEP CAPITULATING TO A FASCIST DICTATOR... Primary into unemployment.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

So what I’m getting from this is no independent reporter can currently confirm if the President is alive. Is that correct?

Made peanut butter and chilli cauliflower salad last night for dinner. Our vegan years really fed us well, we still eat the dishes we learned then most of the time.
