Guy who regularly confuses poptimism with papism

grotesquely comic to have high ranking politicians coming out swinging in defence of *Graham Linehan*. guarantee if you showed most normal people a selection of Graham's tweets from the last decade (and told them it's all he's been doing all that time) they'd agree he should be punted into the sun

always Interesting to see whose discomfort deserves snapping to attention, making strongly worded statements and announcing policies, and whose emphatically does not
Yvette Cooper looked at current British asylum policies and thought, what we need is for *more* children to die in the English Channel
Doesn't matter if he's expressing racist thoughts directly from his own brain or just stumbling like Mr Magoo from racist statement to statement out of some pathetic attempt at triangulation, he's actively making life not just much harder but more dangerous for multiple minority groups. Despicable

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

very nice to hear, thanks!
started writing a Patreon piece the other day about how astoundingly bleak everything feels at the moment, but told myself I would only post it for others to read if I could find a way to end on a hopeful note. needless to say it remains in my drafts
And if you're wondering whether someone getting killed is what it will take for the media and political class to come to their senses, I would just remind you that Jo Cox was murdered in a similar moment of demagoguery and hysteria 9 years ago, and if anything things have got far worse since then.

really enjoyed chatting on the Alternate Futures podcast recently! Edwin is a great host, lots of interesting questions about The House on Utopia Way, SF, and writing more broadly. if you've ever been curious about my ability to string a sentence together, this is your chance to hear for yourself

"Fears of mass unrest" over the appeal court over-ruling the high court. The Independent says police "braced" (again). There is once again a list of 23 locations where protests will be attempted. These v underwhelming (30-300 people) when previous protest "waves" announced last weekend & in July
and thank you!

I can recommend this as I am half way through and thoroughly enjoying it. I got the paperback so I could performatively read it outside a coffee shop in order to get chatted up by Winona Ryder. This has yet to happen. Might try a different coffee shop.

we're heading into fall, so: I am a professional writer with hundreds of credits to my name, mostly reviews of TV shows but also books, movies, and video games. My work has appeared in the AV Club, GQ, IGN, and a bunch of other places, and I'm always looking for freelance work. Thanks.
This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively โwe legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happenedโ

Always like picking up self-published weird books like @stefmowords.bsky.socialโs THE HOUSE ON UTOPIA WAY after hearing about it on The Write Place podcast (especially after an endorsement from @starkholborn.bsky.social). Sounds right up my street. Look forward to reading!
The "Labour say/do right wing stuff because they believe it" points have merit, but it seems more accurate that they believe in *nothing*, while having a comms team that's been cooked by papers and websites into believing that all voters, everywhere, are completely insane far-right freaks.
Todayโs the day! FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN, my first novel, is officially out! Pre-orders are signed and getting shipped, you can request this at your local shop or library, you can get it off @bookshop.org, you can buy copies at Evening House (sites down atm for maintenance, but soon!)
Come on, man
it's Good imo
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isnโt universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
