It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

All politics is compromise and each voter has to decide for themselves what they can and can't stomach. I expect a lot of Jews (but not all) to decide this is not something they can stomach, just like lots of people decided tuition fees was a thing they couldn't stomach from the lib dems. It's sad

Oh dear. The GPEW have passed That Motion. Looking forward to "purity test" and "single issue voter" being flung at Jews who object by greens; the same as they get flung at trans folks refusing to vote Labour by Labourites... :(

I tend to scoop the insides out, mash em with cheese, garlic, chilli flakes, salt and pepper, put the insides back in the skins and bake again till crispy. Then you can serve them with whatever you like: I tend to go for beans or cottage cheese, but I do like kimchi...

The world would be a better place if more people internalised the idea that "not for me" does not equal "crap", and "stuff I like" is not objectively better than "stuff I don't like".

... (lesbian spy cops). As Sam says about Romance: Detective Fiction can do anything! Death Valley even lets me practise my Welsh! People who are sniffy about a genre, whatever the genre, calling it unoriginal or formulaic just because it's not to their taste are showing their whole arses.

The one that's been annoying me recently is people complaining that "everything on telly is murders these days". Well, maybe. But there's a world of difference between The Hairdresser Mysteries (delightful Lancashire comedy with incidental corpses) Bookish (queer rationing-era noir) and Vigil....

Writing within a genre, with rules and tropes to stick to, or subvert, or play with, is a PROMPT to the imagination, not a substitute for it, and someone like Joyce Carol should absolutely know that.

This excellent thread reminded me of Pterry's initial resistance to, then love of mapping Discworld. He at first resisted because he thought it would constrain his imagination, then was delighted to discover that it FIRED it, showing him paths and relationships between places he wouldn't have got to

A reminder: this is worse than judge-only trials because it means for many offences you will be tried not by a Circuit Judge but 2 or 3 non-lawyer volunteers given legal advice by someone else who may have no experience of practising criminal law in the CPS or a defence firm.

And courts will have the final say over where cases should be heard, preventing criminals accused of relatively minor crimes trying to game the system by electing a jury trial in an attempt to avoid prison.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

"Not for me =/= crap" is something a lot more people ought to internalise with regard to a lot of genres. I am not into romance, but I don't bitch about it because I've seen too many other people do it uninformedly about genres i DO like - horror, scifi, detective

Be under no illusion: this is a significant victory for everyone who stuck their neck out and defended jury trials, day after day, clause by clause. But it is not a comprehensive victory. Magistrates should not be allowed to send people to prison for two years.

There needs to be a Bluesky account that gives you quick explainers of current discourse so you can immediately decide whether to engage or ignore and not have to trawl through pages of vagueposting adjacent to the story you haven't seen.

If it had stuck to it's supernatural start it probably would have been 7, maybe 8 out of 10. Similarly if it had been big-hairy-monster-man-who-thinks-he's-a-boy all the way through. But as it is, it sets up both itches and then fails to scratch either. 3/10

So there are films which do the abrupt genre shift half way through well (e.g. Dusk Till Dawn) and then there's this, which flips from quietly creepy supernatural horror with a few fun jump scares to a full on slasher without any rhyme or reason and promptly falls between the stools.
