What was it really like growing up in the 1960s and 70s, in a northern mill town? ! This was the start of the space age and the advent of the swinging 60s, of the Beatles, and the Moon landing. My memoir of those times has been published. Available from Amazon and other bookshops.

Book Cover for How to Build a Snowman and Other Stories. It shows a young boy and the snowman he has built.

In 1946 Eugene O'Neill's play 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉, centering on a group of alcoholics in a boarding house above a saloon, premiered on Broadway, opening to mixed reviews. It's come to be seen as "a harsh and ruthless drama" and "one of America's greatest plays"

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 11h

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

Very sincere thanks to everyone who has offered condolences for our Fergus. I can’t respond to everyone individually but my boyfriend and I have been reading all the responses and they mean a lot to us. I just wanted to show you this, the last photo I took of him.

The BBC is slowly but surely destroying Radio 4 as well. It’s the last bastion of intelligent debate in Britain, yet it’s increasingly becoming a vehicle for culture wars. When the history of the UK in this period is written, the BBC will have a lot to answer for when it comes to stirring division

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.
