I can’t actually read, I just like looking at the pictures.

Just learned that Jez San has almost single-handedly kept the Tories going by donating two million quid to the party.

That’s the last time I play Starglider.

If you're anywhere near Whitby for Halloween, this should be a brilliant evening.

Bob Fischer @bobfischer.bsky.social · 20h

Anyone free on actual Halloween night? Come to Whitby, I'll guide you gently through memories of 1970s/80s Halloweens ("The sky is blue, the grass is green") and there'll be music, dressing up, sweets etc. I might even do the "Witches of Halloween" song from 'Words and Pictures'. A fiver. A FIVER!

Seriously though, what a cracking town and venue for it!

Thanks Marie - hope the process eases up on you and they leave you alone for a while afterwards!

Oh, definitely. Although these things leave an ache that can't be so easily soothed with coffee and a fried egg sandwich.

This hits home very firmly in our house right now, we're in the periodic hoop-jumping stage* again*. The system is designed to engender guilt and stress in those who are least able to cope. Eevry time I hear a politician attacking the social safety net, I want to burn our whole system down.

I've been adding to my mid-century linework collection (that definition encompasses the fifties, sixties and seventies as far as I'm concerned) - specifically anything that features the work of Margery Gill, which I've become a little bit obsessed with. This beauty turned up today. #illustration

Not so much a place name, but people (bastuds) pronouncing the " t' " when they're trying to emulate somebody shortening "the" in a Yorkshire accent. It's not totally universal, but it should mostly just be a very short, guttural stop before the next word - between "in" and "shed" for example.
