since my co-host on @thewhale1851.bsky.social is relentlessly, bludgeoningly, perhaps even tastelessly Welsh, I've been trying to remember whether Moby-Dick engages with Welshness at any point. Surely it must do - does anyone know?

Imagine showing the sea your naked body and a pod of 40 distressed whales surfaces later that day.

Got back from Kenya last weekend and while I was unpacking my suitcase my horrible giant son (a cat) decided he liked it so much he would live in it. so I had to just leave it there open on the sofa for six days. On the sixth day he filled it wth vomit and decided he didn't care for it any more

I don’t feel, as an ethnic minority Briton, there should be more obligation on us to embrace antiracist and pro-migration politics than anyone else. But I do also find myself wondering when I read stuff like this, “You do realise most people who believe this also consider you one too many as well?”

did my five year old draw some sort of cat 9-11

notebook with a child's drawing in black ink of a plane headed towards a tall skyscraper-like building. there are two other buildings (so maybe it's not 9 11?). In the foreground are several smiling cartoon cats. She has written the words RAT, CATS, and PAT in various places of the drawing.

This is great, but I really can't emphasise enough that Astley's links to Homeland weren't "uncovered", nor particularly "past" - he joined in 2025 after being chair of his local Reform branch, was very public about it, and returned to Reform just in time to run for the council. Everybody knew!

Nice to see the guy's been expelled, but Reform's claim that they didn't know he's been in Homeland can't possibly be true: he was an organiser in Reform, left for Homeland and returned to run for the council all within the space of last year www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Delighted, absolutely delighted, to report that Reform have expelled this lad now. Let's see if he hangs around long enough for them to try their usual tactic of quietly readmitting him in a few months' time

One of Newcastle's new Reform c/llors has been spouting great replacement theory in the chamber, and the Chronicle simply retails Reform's spokesperson saying it's a free speech issue. No mention of his being in a neo-fascist party, or tweeting stuff like this www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Farage’s legacy is that he made “being a cunt” not just a legitimate political position, but the default one. Every party is now judged on seriousness based on how cruel and violent they’re willing to be.

The structuring logic of all of this, from the English Channel to Kabul, is a belief that the peoples of Afghanistan and elsewhere can always be subjected to the violence of western militarism, but can never be subjects to whom that militarism might one day be compelled to answer.

I wish I'd thought of "I'm from Newcastle and yet, fascinatingly, I actually know how to read - unlike all of you insensate pigs with your mobile-telephones and tiktoks and whatnot" as a career-building schtick. Inspired tbh

Ball's in Bolt's court now. Sadly the only way human athletics can keep pace with the robots at this point is for him to run smack into a wall at the end of every sprint, disarticulated limbs flying everywhere, and be scraped off the asphalt by a stretcher team
