The new far-right German party thinks the Bauhaus is “un-German”, almost 100 yrs since the Nazis said the same. The freedom art represents is a threat to totalitarian regimes. Readers of The Porcelain Maker will recognise the rhetoric. If we fail to learn from history, we’re destined to repeat it.

German Art Institutions Prepare for a Fight as Far Right Looks to Take Power

As the Alternative for Germany party seeks to control a state government for the first time, its push for “patriotic” art has drawn comparisons with Nazi policies.

So Lumon hired a hundred employees to be a marching band, but they only have one supervisor to monitor an entire floor, which also includes a full time sacrificial goat farm. Who signed off on this? Their finance department must be huffing ether. #Severance

Anyone else getting real Goldeneye (the game) vibes from the sound edit in the Severance finale? Coupled with endless corridors lit by alarms and massive balloon heads, I’m calling it an influence at least.

I often wake up worried about Normally Weird & Weirdly Normal but with this sort of thing and the Panorama doc of a while back I am also feeling that I am getting ready for quite a fight

This combined with the belief that all SEND kids are being given special treatment & have feckless parents who can’t be bothered to send them to school. It’s not only dangerous but cruel - no support, few accommodations and now with added scepticism that everyone is either a snowflake or a fraud.

You know the ‘rise’ in autism? People thought girls & women couldn’t be autistic or might exhibit different traits. But gender isn’t relevant to neurotype, so it follows an equal split ought be autistic. The current ratio is roughly 3:1 male to female. We’ve got a way to go… #autism

What’s missed in covering cuts is that most government programmes providing aid only exist because they’re shown to provide a greater saving in the long run. Government of any stripe is designed that way - there was never any such thing as a free lunch. These cuts will end up costing more.

@timmiller.bsky.social Listening to your fantastic podcast with Ben Stiller and wanted to say Bottoms was the best comedy film of the last few years - highly recommend.

My introduction to #booksky I guess? 📚 Reading is political 🎧 Audiobooks count as reading 📖 Reading is not a competition 🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive 👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it 🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off

My debut novel, The Porcelain Maker, is out in paperback today with a new cover for north America. An epic love story, set against the backdrop of Germany’s slide into an authoritarian regime (feels rather timely!) Thank you to everyone who bought it already & here’s hoping it finds new readers.

Anyone else see all the bsky handles and get reminded of the merger of BSkyB? Gives very early Oughties vibes. Like Buffalo trainers and combat trousers.

When speaking about The Mirror and the Light I drew a blank on Mark Rylance’s name and could only manage, ‘You know, Bing’s Dad’, by way of explanation.
