"Vimes had once discussed the Ephebian idea of ‘democracy’ with Carrot, and had been rather interested in the idea that everyone had a vote until he found out that while he, Vimes, would have a vote, there was no way in the rules that anyone could prevent Nobby Nobbs from having one as well.”

People who've never made a television or radio programme and don't seem to even grasp what broadcasting is are in charge of winding down the BBC. Let's have an AI that tells you to watch another quiz! There'll be another teal-core cop show where half the characters never meet in a few months!

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Getting diagnosed with ADHD was the best thing I’ve ever done, because it made me realise I had A Thing that I could work with and adapt around, rather than just being Generally A Bit Shit and trying to force myself to Just Do Better. It did the complete opposite of writing me off.

Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.

still seeing people making fun of tony blair’s gym photo and what you have to remember is that, as a catholic, he believes in the existence of hell, so it does make a lot of sense that he wants to put off dying for as long as possible

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

The Shadow Over Innschwartz ✨🦑✨ @benschwartz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.

Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.
