So very pleased. Richly deserved.

Meanwhile the avaricious billionaires sit on their mountains of wealth they didn’t earn & blame prices on a cost of living crisis, immigrants, socialists, trans people, all the while gathering in more money every day than most people make in five years. It’s a sick system. It needs to change.

I also love Perry the Platypus’ theme from Fineas and Ferb.

The Tories and Labour are trying to be Reform wearing a different coloured tie. They aren’t an alternative. They won’t protect you.

Vote Green. We will.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 22h

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Nice! I have that exact t-shirt. Well played.

Excellent choice, but I would have to do for Doctor Bunsen Honeydew

Then perhaps it deserves to die.

Ah, of course. Anti-intellectualism: one of the stepping stones to fascism. Fabulous.

Kiss chase, but with Piranha Bears.

Almost certainly… Any particular golf course owner in mind…? Or asking for a friend…?

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

But which book?… A Snail of Two Cities?

Apparently they respond well to being fed. Stories say that if you, for example, give a crow a piece of ham out of a sandwich you are eating, the crow will then return with a gift for you. Keep doing this over a period of time and they will peck out the eyes of your enemies (I hear).

Oh that’s such a beautiful song. My favourite of hers. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Co-signed, seconded, hear hear. An extraordinary and harrowing book full of the worst of monsters. And I’m not talking haints.

David ‘Paisley Cobain’ Burrows, and you’re listening to NPR @sodamasochist.bsky.social · 4d

Just to say, having not only bought it, but read it, and reviewed it on here; it is a bloody fine piece of writing and and a hugely imaginative work. Go. Buy it. Savour it.

Do it now. Or I’ll release the pteranodons.
