No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Young people these days. Being all sensible and moderate and costing the country a fortune in lost tax revenue.
Interesting snippet from the OBR report. Alcohol duties revenue forecast notched down by an annual £1.7bn.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Today has been a great reminder that we still don't have a crystal clear societal definition of "cancellation" and many well-intentioned people are happy to argue about it.

My final statement on today: I just wish my industry were safer for everybody & that harmful people could be kept away from it

We are so sad to learn of the death of Tom Stoppard, a v long-term + loyal member of the WGGB

A recipient of our Outstanding Contribution to Writing Award in 2017, he was presented by former WGGB President David Edgar, who said of him, “Like no one else, he has challenged, dazzled and amazed”

Tom Stoppard. One of the great writers. An epic wordsmith whose craft was such that one only compares themselves to him aspirationally. ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. BRAZIL. EMPIRE OF THE SUN. BILLY BATHGATE. ANNA KARENINA. Stage, screen, print. A genius. Rest in peace.
Goodbye to the master.

Have you picked up a copy of TITANCHILD by @sennydreadful.bsky.social in paperback yet?🐉

The stunning sequel to the British Fantasy Award-winning Talonsister, full of romance and treachery, powerful magic and devastating choices.

I don't think that means you need to have "read all the books". It's enough to have a clear idea of what you want to do, have a sense of right and wrong, and not be totally batshit
