Budget 2026: State’s basic income scheme for artists made permanent

Jeremy Corbyn wants the government to own all the swans in England, the bastard.

I don’t know about specific books, but I feel like I never stop recommending Clive Barker, Angela Carter, and Flann O’Brien

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.

Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

Irish war of independence maybe?

I thought Benson Boone was sone kind of brainrot character, but it turns out he’s real and makes what I can only politely call ‘FIFA Menu Music’

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

I am re-publishing my novel "Faster on My Own" on my Patreon for paid members, which previously ran in my now-deleted Substack. It's about a leftist of non-specific ideology who decides that he needs to actively make the world worse so the revolution will come. Check out the first chapter for free!

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

This is just great. My fucking agent dropped me over the discourse today. Let me know if you're interested in my novel.

Do you have any examples?

This is just a guy saying something other people have said as if it’s a unique insight, without actually investigating whether it’s true.

The most devastating thing about the Irish clown trial in London, for him, must be that his alleged victim had the funniest line:

▪️Linehan had called Ms Brooks an incel and she replied ‘your the incel, you’re divorced,’ the court has heard.

Well, here we are. I'm raising money for myself after my job fired me as a union busting tactic for ableist reasons. Please donate if you can, and share if you can't.

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

In a bid to restore the English flag from its racist associations, loads of English racists have started putting it up everywhere for racist reasons

I don't trust it when the UK has a Bank Holiday weekend that we don't. What are they getting up to with all that free time?
Colonialism probably.

I played Silent Hill 1 when I was 4. I never got past the school of course but it was enough to permanently alter my psyche.

Thinking on this, it is kinda weird how chill a *shit ton* of SFF is chill with Manifest Destiny being so deeply embedded into its culture. Like you've got one of the biggest authors in-genre going "Brigham Young was actually cool" when Young was a full-throated "we need to kill all the natives" guy

i'd like to start a new subculture for people like me who are apartment dwellers and aren't allowed to have a gas or charcoal grill. we'll be like barbecue guys only for microwaves. we'll wear shirts to work that say "i'd rather be microwavin'!" and share microwave steak recipes and stuff

What a great idea! Why not ask the amish to fix our modems and routers as well? They’re really productive too and our ISP tech support is really busy!
