Latest project finished, a DJ console for a customer in Bristol. Always fun to do these sorts of pieces - you generally know it’s something they’ve been really looking forward to for aaaages.

Yesterday, wind produced 59.6% of Britain’s electricity - almost five times more than gas.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, every unit of clean renewable energy we produce is delivering U.K jobs, energy security, and a brighter future of our children.

Look I don’t want to go starting up the us/uk food discourse but the Americans are sharing their celebration dinners and fuck me if it don’t look like 1972 is calling and wants its beige food back

Ideas to devalue your £2m home:

Install an outdoors glass cubicle toilet on your front drive and make sure you use it regularly. Keep eye contact with anyone who sees you using it.
install a conservatory to own the libs. perfect.

Of course, like all right thinking people, I don’t look at my phone when I’m on the loo… but I probably shouldn’t have read this whilst I was on the loo
We begin today with a content warning: this dispatch from history is not for the faint-hearted. However, if you wish, do please join me for the tale of the Sun King’s anal fistula and the three-hour operation performed on it without anaesthetic on this day in 1686... 🧵

It’s the worst prime minister ever and the most far right Home Secretary ever and it’s happened for the fifth time in a fucking row (tbf, and I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, perhaps that’s not entirely fair to rishi fucking sunak)

Ahhh my old home town. As weird as it is to think of Tom Cruise strolling down the high street, I never once saw him in Martine’s to take advantage of 50p a pint nights www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Always worth following Tom, and his wonderful stories. His parents make really good art too.
I've TWO of these beautiful 'Witch & Hare' original linocuts by my mum, Jo, to give away to my Bluesky followers. The print is from my recently republished book, Help The Witch.

All you have to do to enter is repost this story from the book (maybe give it a read too?) www.tom-cox.com/robot-2/

The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this?

I mean I'm not even really posting this to win the book, I'm just posting this so you follow Tom and read his lovely books and blog. No one posts better pictures of sheep friends.
I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

This thread is amazing. I want to carve one and stick it on my house
It’s 185 years to the day since a man called Thomas O’Conor wrote a report about a stone figure on a church in Kiltinane, County Tipperary. This wouldn’t be especially notable if we didn’t also consider what the statue looked like, because this was the first written use of the term Sheela-na-gig

The idea of gathering all the world’s billionaires and sealing them in a deep cavern is simple, but actually fitting them all in there with their stupid boats and jets is staggeringly difficult.
This guy is so fucking stupid, man. This is straight up caveman wisdom

Good run this evening over the Levels - saw a heron, an egret, three deer and a kingfisher. And then stopped just before home to watch this rather good sunset.
