Here is the single thing Labour can do to see off Reform and make British politics work | Will Hayward Farage’s party could win 42% of Commons seats with only 26% of the vote. That’s not the way civilised countries do democracy, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

PR is (surprisingly) the best way to get rid of Reform.

Photo of poster with hand written black text. Text reads as follows. We want revenge and we want it now! Lesbians! Dykes! Queers! There are many more of us in this world than transphobes. But cold blooded liars like them think they've got all the power. Let's face it: government, media, entertainment, capitalism, politeness are irrelevant to our lives as dykes. We're wasting our lives being careful. Imagine what your life could be. Aren't you ready for that to happen? What have you got to lose? Join us! The Lesbian Avengers.

WE WANT REVENGE AND WE WANT IT NOW!

The Lesbian Avengers. Glasgow, June 2025.

Doonesbury strip: Andy gets copy of Pet Sounds on CD

Doonesbury strip: Andy dies listening to Pet Sounds

Doonesbury strip: Andy's last words are "Brian Wilson is God"

In May, 1990, Andy Lippincott, the gay attorney in "Doonesbury," was dying of AIDS -- the first and maybe only such death in an American comic strip. In his last days, he was buoyed by the release of Brian Wilson's masterpiece, "Pet Sounds," on CD. Andy's passing transpired in these three strips.

Have you looked outside at all today? :)

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

The BBC just let disgraced Justin Welby return to rub salt in survivor's wounds

Laura Kuenssberg gave Welby an opportunity to try and launder his reputation. Why the BBC did this remains to be seen, but the vile creature still has zero remorse over his crimes.

@oldfortunatus.bsky.social Hi. Question from a non-academic admirer: what impact if any, has the rise of AI/LRM had on attribution of texts to authors (Shakespeare, for example). Can you point to any links or books? Thanks :)
