‘Outwith’ is an excellent word that should be adopted throughout the Anglo sphere.

Steiger was great on his day but more than capable of hamming it up too. Cobb was excellent though and I think George C Scott would have brought both intelligence and menace.

He’s a very good bus driver. I would fear for his passengers.

My wife had her hair done by the bass player of Edison Lighthouse on our wedding day.

Note to ministers: if you think it’s difficult affording recommended pay awards you really don’t want to see how difficult strike action will be to manage. Find the money.

Just got back from a splendid evening with @mrjohncrace.bsky.social in the People’s Republic of Stowmarket. If you can get to one of his shows, do so - highly entertaining but insightful too.

Every year on January 27 in Warsaw, an empty old tram runs along the former Warsaw ghetto. She doesn't take any passengers to commemorate those who were no longer allowed to use the trams and were later deported and murdered. #HolocaustMemorialDay

A little comic about desire paths.
Ok so…
There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway.  After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

Only someone with no understanding of liberal history would treat fact-checking and free speech as a binary opposition. The whole point of free speech is that it gets us closer to the truth. Where free speech has no purchase in the truth, its purpose collapses.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
