In the 1970s, no British actors could do a convincing American accent, and now they all can. It's like how birds learned to drink cream through milk bottle tops.

Picked up a compendium of Richard Hannay adventures and can't help thinking the marketing folks should've had a quiet word with Buchan about that fifth title.

I suspect they're about 95 and can't actually remember anything that happened in the last 30 years.

I keep thinking Bill Bailey won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

My second book, Colours of Wes Anderson, is out today. I am sick in bed with a cold. My favourite part of writing a book is the Acknowledgements because I get to tell everyone about people I love

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 4d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I started my share of the day one year ago and I’ve been thinking a lot about how I wanted to commemorate that and I decided that it was just by continuing to do it.

Follow Palestinians, help them, talk to them off this app, refuse to be complicit in their dehumanization, recognize them as people

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · Oct 7

I’m going to make individual posts for the Palestinian accounts I’m boosting today so they don’t get lost in a thread but if you are looking for them all in one place I’ll link them here 🔽

Oh, bloody book.

Yeah so I've been led to believe. I think maybe it was just a more innocent time. My people were fair and wore stars etc etc. Anyway, I'm still essentially fond of hippies.

I was raised by hippies. My teachers were hippies and my classmates were the children of hippies. Sure, some of them believed some dumb shit, but they were almost exclusively lovely, well-meaning people, which goes a long way, especially now. Give hippies a break.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

I reckon we could pull this off in the UK. Or are we all too distracted by *waves arms around generally*?
