Arts: music, songwriting, photography, films, books. Anything that touches the senses nicely. OK, I can't avoid politics, but then...none of us can.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Bonehill-Paine has now withdrawn his candidacy, and has been offered a position as an anti-extremism adviser to the party...he said the position with the Conservative Party's Culture and Integration Commission would focus on advising on how to prevent young men from being radicalised. Er, OK.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

Flats reached 37C, and children were reportedly hospitalised, in temporary accommodation where the air-con was turned off. No family should have to live in these conditions. The government must build social homes and end the housing emergency now. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Homeless families moved out of London tower block where air con was switched off

At least two children living in Britannia Point in Colliers Wood were reportedly hospitalised as temperatures in their apartments soared to 37C

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rod Liddle vilifies disabled people. I’m tired of the hate. We all should be | Frances Ryan

Whether it is ME patients or another target, huge swathes of the media have normalised hatred of minorities for years, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Rod Liddle, who once wrote in The Spectator that he couldn’t work as a teacher because he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from shagging the kids, has died aged 66. I won’t be shedding any tears, personally.

Excellent thread that perfectly sums up (at best) the misunderstanding & confusion and (at worst) the inherent sense of superiority & entitlement that many Brits abroad seem to have. Attitudes that are most definitely not limited to the flag-shagging monkeys. No red carpet?! This is why 👇

I am seeing more and more posts in places like Reddit from British people wanting to move to Poland and struggling to get a job. Oh, how the tables have turned. But I didn't want to talk about it but about why I don't predict many of them to be too succesfull. Why? Here is a thread for you:

STAY TUNED ON THIS Republicans may have poked the bear. They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Instead, new data suggests they helped drive higher Black voter turnout across parts of the South. 1/2
