My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work.

there really is something immensely clarifying about realizing that "death cult" is not an ironic or jokey term

Operation I Raped Dozens of Girls and Maybe Just Maybe Murdered One Or Two And Everything Is In Those Files But I Make Kaboom And You Forget

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics.

But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

At one point I wrote a horrible joke about the Landis family being "men who just can't keep control of their choppers". It's unpleasant but solid work.

Max Landis, Whose Career Imploded During #MeToo, Returns with ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie at Paramount (Exclusive) At the same time, Danny McBride will also be writing a separate 'G.I. Joe' script, with both projects potentially being combined down the line.

Fucking hell when I pointed out this morning Ellison had a history of hiring (untalented) men who faced allegations of sexual harassment, had no idea a new one would drop in hours www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Wait, isn't this the government that refused food a year, until forced with gritted teeth to scrap the "cruel two-child limit of which at we were completely in favour at our first Budget".

Oh yes! That should absolutely be on the list!

Based entirely on my becoming aware of it in about 2001, I'd say mine is Audition, The Ring, The Grudge...

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Musk at World Economic Forum

This guy's smiling photograph is appearing today, in normal news coverage of an elite gathering.

He has killed 215,000 adults and 445,000 children with USAID cuts, as of the most recent estimates. 14 million deaths are expected by 2030.

Select magazine from 1993 with a picture of Justine from Elastica on the front with the headline THIS IS THE FUTURE!

Dear Select magazine from 1993, The Future here, and I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you...

Paddington at the BAFTAs, but he’s doing Tony Montana’s ‘bad guy’ bit from Scarface.

Virginia Giuffre died aged 42.

Evergreen.

Billionaire Peter Thiel says that America is similar to the Weimar Republic "Liberalism has exhausted itself... Democracy, whatever it may be, has exhausted itself... Therefore, we need to start talking far beyond the Overton window."

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

Parliamentary by-election 26th Feb 2026

🟢 Gorton & Denton = GREEN

The Carmen Widonis says there were some there, but I'm not sure anyone else mentions them.

It's almost as if Morgan McSweeney is a fucking idiot

The usual exchange is that the compromises are made in return for either servicing another creator’s vision, whom you’re working for, and helping, or in return for payment, as work for hire.

This take must die. I know everyone loves their nan, as well they should, and it’s fine to simply say nothing here, but to take as an example someone who paid a settlement to one of the victims, is now dead and buried having faced no consequences for their complicity, and frame THEM as the victim?

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Onto a bit with a train. The guard checked my ticket and blew his cheeks out. "Edinburgh? Be quicker to go by boat, wouldn't it?" This had better be worth it, #movesummit

A grim looking funfair in Barmouth, seen through a grubby bus window...

Okay, rail replacement bus from Snowdonia to Edinburgh. Do your worst! (Please do not do your worst)
