Millions of Americans may not receive their mail ballots in time, or at all, because of a secretive, court-defying system being rushed into place by the Trump administration. Two months before the midterms. This isn't by chance. It's a blatant attempt to steal an election. Share this everywhere.

Playing the closing theme to Camberwick Green, just because everything is awful and it blocks things out momentarily

Chris Mason is a profoundly unserious man who writes about politics as if it were a video game with no real consequences. True to form, this article is purely about optics. Not a single policy is mentioned www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have never been so disappointed in a BBC piece. Breathless admiration is, as far as I knew, not the role of the BBC’s political editor when describing a party political conference. Description+detail yes, rigorous examination of the conference content, yes. This, absolutely no, in my opinion.

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

The original radio version of Room 101 never seems to get heard enough. It was definitely one of the biggest influences on Looks Unfamiliar through the combination of the guests' highly personal esoteric experiences and Nick Hancock's baffled disdain. timworthington.org/2019/06/20/t...

Let's face it. ALL idents would be improved with a touch of Ian Skye…

We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.

I must have been into my 40s before realising the link between "galactic" and "lactic" #MilkyWay

Coprolite isn't my favorite fossil but it's a solid number two.

New HMHB album announced just today. Sadly, BTPT didn't make the cut this time around. But there are some peaches among them. propermusic.com/collections/...

Happy St George' Day!

This stupid joke popped into my head when I saw Happy Toast's excellent Dr Who photoshop

A little comic about desire paths.

Over on X, I'm receiving antisemitic death threats and being told they don't break the platform's rules. To British MPs that follow me, this is a brazen violation of the Online Safety Act. Please ensure the rule of law is enforced against Elon Musk and X. No business should be above the law.

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

For those with a connection to Berlin, I want to bring your attention to a worrying development in the ongoing fight against building on Tempelhofer Feld. This Tuesday, 19 November 18:00-19:00 (GMT+1) is an online assembly.

It's still the most alarming combination of image and tagline for a family movie we've ever seen.

What's less well known is that the ZAZ team pulled the same trick with the first episode of POLICE SQUAD! and the 60s show M SQUAD…

Ugh. Well. I did it. 12 years of photos and artwork gone off Instagram. Feels weird. (Yes, I have backups downloaded. Sigh.)

Quite the gear change. Angelwitch or Motörhead next?

I am somewhat disappointed to report that my local (Berlin) supermarket has decided that today is the day to put Stollen, Lebkuchen, Spekulatius and other Weihnachty things on the shelves. September 5th and 29 degrees C today...

Done. Twitter account deactivated. Not one for staring at car crashes or the last twitches of the dying so I'm getting out before it implodes. Let's make this place a better one and hope it stays that way.
