I’m so sorry, I completely forgot to tell you at the beginning of the month that the UK Kindle edition of How To Be A Domestic Goddess (the title is ironic or, rather, just camp, not a tradwife manifesto) is at the ludicrously low price of 99p all October! I’m afraid this applies just in the UK.

Times reporter Emma Yeomams on how vigilante Mr Daniel Thomas attempted to endanger life of a rescuer at sea (fortunately unsuccessfully on this occasion).

We made a G&B choc stout cake for an 80th birthday last weekend, same one we had at our wedding. A Bake Off challenge I could achieve 😂

Fancy coming to work with me at the British Library? Part time for 18 months, collecting oral histories about covid and thinking about covid commemoration. www.nationalmuseums.org.uk/jobs/job/228...

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now

Oh dear lord this should have come with a trigger warning. 😭 Zelda and Fenella from Chorlton and the Wheelies. <shudder>

There has never been a greater global need for a return of the original format Muppet Show. I wish the powers that be would just get their shit together already.

Oh what a surprise.

Looking forward to Burnham standing up to these wankers - anytime now would be nice? Hello? Hello?

As @sundersays.bsky.social just pointed out, these “costumes” are really uniforms, banned under the Public Order Act 1936

What on earth did I just read?!

Pouring rain, barely daylight and mist rolling down Cleeve Hill. Who turned on autumn?!

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Mahmood's proposals would force medium-skilled & care workers to leave the UK & would deter high skill workers from coming in future. This would widen the deficit/fiscal home. Would be deliberate economic and political self-harm for Burnham/Healey to proceed with them. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Except that’s really not how to pronounce Woo-ster-shur. This Scot dreads to think how @merriam-webster.com recommend we pronounce Edinburgh, Anstruther or Garioch!

If the CDC can’t be trusted to report data…

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

Chedworth Roman villa in a Gloucestershire has graffiti for a soldier’s favourite chariot racing team. Nothing changes.

Radio 4 just letting Lee Anderson make up crap about roaming migrants committing crimes against women and children. As opposed to the flag shaggers and anti-migrant rioters with their raft of domestic violence convictions?
