Glastonbury will return in 2027. Rod Liddle, won't

“.. he is so set on avenging his election loss and pursuing retribution against his political enemies that he has Americans looking backward when many have signaled they would rather he explain why the country is at war ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.

So I watched Weekend at Bernie's in honour of Mitch McConnell. I can see why it's so iconic! Classic dark comedy! #WeekendatBernies #MitchMcConnell

Yeh, Susan Collins does that rotating hero crap, which is make a vote against something awful when it won't matter. When her vote is actually needed for the GOP, Susan Collins is there! But she's very concerned. And she still doesn't regret those awful SCOTUS picks that she voted for.

Apparently ASOIAF is sci-fi after all! 😮 (According to the bookstore in Stratford-upon-Avon)

White People have had a hard on for attacking Iran for decades. They finally got their wish and have now depleted their other source of hardness….weapons. The United States is a peak impotence…

I'd take the likes of Sarah Pochin seriously if they understood even the most basic things about WW2

Yes, Congress has no power whatsoever to check the power of an out-of-control President. Too bad the Constitution has no provision about that. Oh well.

Used to work in an office adjoining Trevor when he was a very, very senior figure at LWT ca 1994. He was very grand indeed. Now he speaks for the non liberal metropolitan classes.

Dear me.

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

Honestly even just speaking generally, this is the type of stuff that makes it really hard for me to feel like a part of any "queer community." I guess if I had to describe it it's like... I feel like I'm *in* community with other queer people, and I can and often do get along well with individual..

Lara S. Ramblings (The S Stands for Silly)@larasramblings.bsky.social · 6d ago

The more time passes, and the more I actually exist as a queer person for whom these considerations are of tangible relevance, the more I see the Lungbarrow asexuality discourse as a microcosm of the troubling conflation in the ace community of sex repulsion and sex negativity.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Defeated the British, freed the slaves, raped the children.

I mean, yeah? He was a wife beater, a paedophile and a raging bigot. I will absolutely post negatively about someone like that, dead or alive.

Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d ago

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

Of all the things I've heard AI fanatics used to defend its necessity of use "I need a visual aid for my DnD campaign that's starting in a few hours" is like the fucking saddest ones I've ever heard Straight up baby shit

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

The thing about re-reading a book, or re-watching a movie or a TV show long after you watched it the first time ... You're not wasting your time. You're revisiting something you enjoyed, but with new eyes and a changed understanding. You will pick up themes and messages you missed on first pass.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

I don't believe in a higher power, but Rod Liddle dying on Eamon Dunphy's birthday could make me question it slightly.

Trump: We're going to resume talks. Iran: No, we are not. 95+% of everything that Trump ever says is a lie. Yet the markets still listen and respond to him. Therefore, the markets are even dumber than Trump. And that's hard to do.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

I once got into a Twitter spat with Rod Liddle during which he asked me if I'd ever read anything and I said I'd start with his obituary but I was lying. I will not be reading it, he isn't worth the time.

Remembering Senator Mitch McConnell, 1942-2026(?) He was five pounds of shit in a one pound bag. The end.

Caught @acl.bsky.social collecting her rocks and couldn’t help myself…😇😂

Just to be clear, this is another on a long list of Farage, lying, on camera, to the press, in print, and CONSTANTLY.

July was Disability Pride Month and I hope that it was a happy celebration for those of us who are disabled, visible or invisible, in being who you are! #DisabilityPrideMonth #HappyDisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPrideMonth2026 #HappyDisabilityPrideMonth2026
