Their constant platforming of him is what’s going to make Farage eventually happen. The refusal to cover his multiple scandals should be put under microscope.

Oh, and KA Applegate liked some of my posts once. That was nice.
See, children’s books authors can be lovely people!
Crazy, isn’t it?

Exactly. Unlimited resources and limitless possibilities and what does she do?
Bully Greg.
That’s where her mind goes to.
It’s just wild.

It was the coming back to check on me and then use that as a dunk that really got me.
Like really lady? You’re sitting around in that mouldly ass castle, thinking to yourself “I wonder what that guy down in Kent thinks.”
I swear, my own family don’t think about me that that often 😅

Make sure not to show them this silent disco held there.

A few weeks late (thanks work) but I wanted to throw out a recommendation for @lordravenscraft.bsky.social’s exegesis on Beast Wars. Eric’s crafted a compelling and interesting video essay on how a toy commercial (and trash media) can grow beyond that into art. Check it out. Good stuff

This was the other time it happened.
I’m sure you can guess how that ended up going.

If I had a penny for every time a famous person retweeted me twice in the space of a few days, I’d have 2 pennies.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
And honestly it’s odd that it’s much nicer when it’s a political party leader doing it than a (in)famous childrens book author.

He just doesn’t miss. That line at the end was pure gold.

Bold Politics with Zack Polanski @boldpolitics.bsky.social · 10h

"I'm not surprised the personal attacks have started. They've got loads of lines: about my teeth, about my history as an actor, about my name change... the right just don't actually have a line of attack against me that's political"

Just the perfect shot my better half snapped.
I mean, the architecture doesn’t hurt either…

I see right wing twitter is having a collective meltdown over an art installation in Canterbury Cathedral.
So I’ve been spending this morning gleefully replying with videos of the Silent discos they have there.
The lighting is just *chefs kiss*.

I just inflicted The Wasp Factory on the world again.
Yet another person to be forever changed by that book.
I’m sad that it’s not the best cover there is, I’m happy I can do it remotely now.
I think this is the 5th time I’ve done it. I’m sorry, all those other people.

What sort of Americans would be upset at fighting the KKK?

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans
