This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Stop what you're doing and watch the video in the article right now

Not your typical 'cat stuck in a tree' call. A baby bobcat got stuck on the top of a power pole in Kelowna. He waited until the rescue man reached him in the lift and said, "No thanks, I got it," and shimmied down himself. 😂🤣 www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Found out yesterday that one of the first pet cats whose name we know belonged to Crown Prince Thutmose of the 18th dynasty pf Egypt. She was named Ta-Miu, which translates, roughly, as "Miaow Girl".

Surely this is more likely to be a case of pilot psychosis rather than terrorism? Sadly it happens, is the likely cause of the loss of MH370. #C4News

Absolutely convinced this man sole purpose is to dismember the BBC so that the tech bros can pick over the remains and he must be stopped.

@avasantina.bsky.social talking sense on small boats etc on #Newsnight unlike any of the men surrounding her.

Exactly this.

Nigella restores the sense that baking is meant to be pleasurable, not an Olympic event with butter. That warmth changes the whole temperature of the tent.

What are we becoming?

Kevin Thurston@del-boy.bsky.social · 3w ago

Sometimes I can't let the day job go... watching GBBO, mainly to see how Paul H copies with being eclipsed by Nigella, and now wondering if they licensed the Tardis/regeneration from the BBC as I know someone who didn't and it was very very messy and expensive #GBBO

The whole thread is worth a read, especially the bit where Thomas sticks a knife in a dingy with a rescuer still aboard. The sooner Danny Thomas is arrested and his blackshirt organisation proscribed the better for us all.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Turned down last week: 2 festivals with no budget for speakers 1 writing course with no budget for teachers 1 film project with no budget to option the book - plus they wanted me to write the screenplay. For free. Don't do it, kids. Don't work for free. Because to them, what's free is worthless.

If you've spent any time on the coast, or around major rivers, you'll have seen the RNLI in action, do consider donating to them as they don't deserve this current nonsense. Also, if you need another incentive, you never know you might need them the next time you take a walk by the water.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women

Tilly Norwood, a controversial AI “actor,” abruptly switched languages during an interview with Piers Morgan, though the company behind the AI creation denied she malfunctioned.

Hard to imagine a more emblematic fracturing of the British social order than people turning on the lifeboats, the most conservative-coded, traditional charity we have. If these scumbags will attack the RNLI, they'll attack anyone or anything. Absolutely feral.

"If you don't lower your standards you'll end up all alone with a bunch of rescue animals." Don't threaten me with a good time. 💕

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 4w ago

I'm not surprised but I'm truly disgusted that this narrative of "dangerous fighting age men posing a threat to women and children" is genuinely doing the rounds on the media with almost no push back at all. This is 1930s level stuff.

Somehow I find it hard to 'trust' the companies that have, in their quest to make money, have 'raped & pillaged' our rights, fuelled culture wars, and disseminated misinformation in their quest for profit, to develop safe AI. #C4News

Talking about the apocalypse means *not* talking about copyright abuse, about privacy invasion, about the creation of misinformation and the destruction of truth, about political manipulation, about CSAM, about economic devastation and about environmental destruction. The real problems.

I'm catching up on today's Israel-Palestine statement, every moving. Felt Ed Milliband got the tone and the approach right. But I really didn't expect Sir Edward Leigh's very powerful contribution.

A bit behind on #Newsnight but is Jenkin really arguing that we should continue to allow our allies to break international laws etc with impunity? .

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
