A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.
Here's what has happened since then to public opinion
Happy World Book Day to those who celebrate 📚 This year my kids opted for elitist psychopath and skeleton detective.
Apparently at least one of my children must dress as Skulduggery every WBD... (@dereklandy.bsky.social) #SkulduggeryPleasant #TheSecretHistory
If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...
Uh no...we definitely realize it.
Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.
im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization
Sorry to read this, Emma. I know that feeling and it isn't nice. Sending strength.
A bad photo (I was weeping) of the most extraordinary evening. When Gisèle Pelicot walked out, 2000+ people got to their feet to cheer and clap. And again at the end. So much love, admiration and hope in the room. I've never been part of a moment like it and it will live with me forever ❤️
There's two minutes of missing videotape at the exact time of Epstein's murder.
Trump went into a hospital with a gunshot wound and released a report from a doctor who wasn't there, one week later
Journalists, what the fuck is wrong with you?
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.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
This is perfect.
There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!
Art is political. It always has been.

It's perfect!
I do! It's gorgeous!
Today President Epstein kicked off Black History Month by sharing a racist AI video of Barack and Michelle Obama.
It's not funny. He's a racist fascist pedophile who mocks murder victims and anyone who still supports him is pure evil.
Thou shalt not arrest journalists for practicing journalism.
Ilhan Omar is fucking awesome.
What a badass! 👊
This might be where I give up hope.
I went to a talk at the @societyofauthors.bsky.social last week and AI was a hot topic but we all felt people would ultimately still want human created art. Apparently that was an assumption too far 😫 #AI #art #humanwritten

The end logic of this if you’re in the UK btw is DEFEND THE BBC.
Complain about it, protest bad coverage of course, but we won’t get another institution that makes safe, publicly funded, reliable, human-created, vetted content for kids if we let the BBC get destroyed.
I wrote an opinion column for the Observer! I never do opinion columns but I was just really annoyed by cultural vandalism and Kemi Badenoch.

The very definition of ‘unviable’

FFS. This is how human history ends, with arrogant, overpaid, supposedly smart people relying on machines rather than figuring things out or looking things up for themselves.
📣We're delighted with the Court’s decision yesterday.
It's a win for authors and rightsholders, and a step in the right direction towards compensation for the unlawful use of copyright-protected works. Big Tech is not above the law and creators’ rights cannot be ignored. ✊

Yep, exactly this.
