ARAGORN: Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall. GIMLI: What, it's autumn with intent there, is it? A: No, I mean - G: Everywhere else, falling's just a hobby, but you're saying in that one specific forest, the leaves only fall when they can ACHIEVE something? A: - G: Goal-orientated foliage, is it?

Why did the BBC erase Bethany’s “Protect The Dolls” T-shirt on Strictly?.. Maybe because JKR’s ‘gender critical’ transphobic friends are installed at the highest level? 🤔🤔🤔 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

as someone who’s worked with the bbc, would you say it was due to active phobes within the organisation or cowardice in case someone complains? my sense is the latter is more likely. academic ofc cos if you’re capitulating to phobes cos you’re scaredy that makes you a phobe

Presumably a book like this exists as an excuse for its publicity though? It’s not about people reading it, it’s the excerpts in the Mail, the “debates” it spurs on the radio etc

possibly Father Christmas is a tulpa, manifesting in line with the observer’s expectations, appropriate for a spirit of generosity

Rats chasing cats are to do with Birmingham bin collections I believe. Not something that’s really cut through, but I guess they’re trying to make it happen?

also the works from an author’s oeuvre that were considered great- at the time of his death Pickwick Papers was considered Dickens’s masterpiece and Great Expectations was just kinda there

Anyway, The Animaniacs is arguably a Danish narrative, so let's be careful about labeling the skeeting crone a Boer icon.

I've had a nasty little poem published in the @poetrypharmacy.bsky.social's book - Poetry Poison: Revenge. A real treat to be printed next to Clive James.
