Ciarán: I know a lot of new actors really like to read the comments, but you will find a comment you don’t like and it will break your soul. Trust me.

Ciarán: I feel the more we push back against (toxic masculinity) and the more we show what positive masculinity is, the less people will feel like they can’t claim masculinity without having a negative connotation added.

Tim Abbott @mhdtim.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ciarán: where do you get your euphoria jollies? Carrying bags for people, holding a door for someone. You know, being a strong sense of safety maybe when a, especially female, but when anybody is looking uncomfortable. Being able to step in and calmly use that privilege to make sure they’re okay.

Me: Toxic masculinity isn’t something I want to identify with. Ciarán: I look to the men who are sources of what positive masculinity is. I know we’re all sort of trying to talk about that even within cis spaces. you know, you look at people like Pedro Pascal, Macklemore, LeVar Burton, Neil Buchanan

Tim Abbott @mhdtim.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ciarán: I’ve always sounded a little masculine. Like even back in England. And so I’ve always kind of sat right in that androgynous kind of spot. That’s nice and easy from a natural base. I can kind of push up or push down from that, instead of hard in one direction, which I appreciate.

"I was contacted by, Caitlin Glass about Astra Lost in Space, and she was like, “Can you do an American accent?” And I was like, “Yes.” And then I went off and I decided to learn one, and it took me about five days because I already had a lot of the vowel sounds and the shapes and the placement."

You’re a man married to a woman, do you pass as a straight couple? Ciarán: We continuously try to talk about this. At the end of the day, when I’m still considered by most people within governments to be female, we weirdly are in a male-female relationship that is a queer relationship.

Ciarán Strange: I was like a totally different person. I said to my friend before I came down here, I was like, “Yeah, I’m gonna go hang out with Tim. Last time he saw me, I was a girl." Quote thread from my chat with Ciarán Strange at @animefargo.bsky.social ....

🍺 What happens when politics goes down the pub? One Suffolk voter went along to her MP’s ‘Pint & Politics’ – and found plenty of opinions, rather less empathy, and a striking generational divide. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Pint & Politics? No more thanks, I’ve seen enough entitlement for one lifetime

When the local MP invited me to talk politics in the pub, I listened and learnt a lot about my community

As for SSN, they never (usually) interrupt to bring hard news. That tension between sports and real life was explored later that week by Mike Green, on Mike and Mike. (I was listening online) He defended their returning to sports talk, arguing people needed an outlet. It's a thought provoking point

Twenty-five years ago, I was in England. Sky Sports News interrupted their programming to suggest people turn to Sky News for coverage. So I then watched the second plane hit, as many did.

h/t @mattprivratsky.bsky.social : Apparently my work (where I speak to people from over 30 states) and my origin (England) has confused this algorhythm. My resolutely Minnesotan family life apparently takes second place, lol.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said funding would drop for violence interrupters, calling it a “noble program filled with committed and talented community leaders,” but one that “has not demonstrated the level of results taxpayers deserve.”

minnpost.com

Frey wants to cut funding for violence interrupters. But at what cost?

Advocates say interrupter programs are essential as the city aims to curb violence, but assessing their impact is complicated.

Ten years ago, I wasn't paying much attention to the Loons. The MLS beat and the Non League beat have often seemed like competing realities. That said, tonight's festivities should be fun to witness and this piece was fun to read.

I promise, acknowledging the existence of, like, medieval Hebrew poetry won’t undermine the antizionist project. You can be antizionist without denying all of Jewish history pre-israeli state. It’s easy, actually!

The backlash to Woke One has been more deranged and destructive than the worst caricature of progressive activism. But it is/was a thing (I try to define it as best I can) and if folks like AOC are worried about uncontrolled forces in politics, they should have a clear theory of WHY it happened.

Woke One Happened Because American Government Is Broken

And it'll happen again if Democrats don't return to power and fix it.
