The UK is in a dark place right now, where anti-asylum attitudes have spilled over into racism from the 1970s or earlier. These types of comments are not 'the result of' higher migration. They are the personal responsibility of the person who wrote them.

Xerxes, as shown in the relatively early days of channel 4. The summary makes it sound pretty dodgy come to think of it.

Oh my god we are screaming at this week's podcast!
An attempt was made.
Sat down to watch this week's podcast with my non-2000ad-reading partner, who immediately says "we're not having anything said against @cuntersthompson.bsky.social for not knowing Wales".

Excited to see there's a new animal crossing update coming, but slightly apprehensive if that means we also get another pandemic so everyone has time to play it

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Well this is awkward for the racists. I guess they'll just decide it's proof of "two tier" nonsense.

"advance uncorrected proof" is an excellent title. (I'm sure I'm not the first to say that)
Coming soonish from Subterranean Press - the first collection of my short fiction in about a decade - here's the cover (by @alisonsampson.bsky.social ) and table of contents for your delectation.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

So JWST has seen these weird objects called Little Red Dots that appear to be extremely luminous and way on the other side of the universe from us. What the heck are they?

Well, they could be immense star-like objects powered by black holes. So, yeah.

Little Red Dots at the edge of the universe may be black holes powering gigantic balls of gas
These “Black Hole Stars” are theoretical, but do explain what we see
