This is huge - and proves exactly what we're saying.

We cannot have a moment of complacency - only the Green Party can stop Reform.

Vote Hannah Spencer and the Green Party on Thursday in Gorton and Denton. 💚

Can the Labour Party please just get out of the way so this vision can defeat Reform and enable a better, entirely possible future?

The UK, where they’ll take away the meds you need to be functional, deny the care you need to feel like life is worth living, remove whatever you need to bring your disabilities from insurmountable to manageable…

… and then portray you as lazy if you don’t have a job.

Good shit will always cut through the slop

Photos of three people on this podcast: guest Kris Piet holds a calendar and sticks out their tongue at the camera and holds a peace sign in a happy gesture, Jude Vais smiles, and Stef Midlock holds a calendar up in front of her face so you can only see her eyes. To the right is the new “Elvish Calendar” by Wizard Way Kris, showing two elves on a beautiful beach with a sunset. The text reads: “Athrabeth episode 91. Seize the date! Elvish calendars with Wizard Way Kris”.

Seize the date! We talk with the fantastic Wizard Way Kris @wizardwaykris.bsky.social about their newly published Elvish Calendar 2026–2027, a 14-month adaptation of Tolkien’s ‘Calendar of Imladris’! Hear about the process of creating this amazing calendar!

I cannot overstate how GORGEOUS this calendar is!

Using this calendar, I see that my birthday falls on Rhîw 29, which happens to be on a Orbelain (Valar-Day) this year!

Find your birthday, learn all about elvish timekeeping and holidays, and enjoy stunning art with @wizardwaykris.bsky.social!

New book day!

Concert time!!

Paris = Baguette

Day 2 begins

Hello Stade de France

Je suis à Paris

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.

When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.

The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.

It's time for a rethink.

My picture was used in child abuse images. AI is putting others through my nightmare | Mara Wilson I was a child actor, exploited by strangers on the internet. Now millions of children face the same danger

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Want to stop deepfake exploitation?

Give its victims a cause of action against the deep-pocketed companies that made the AI, not just against the pseudonymous and likely judgment-proof incel losers writing the prompts.

Promise you the companies would solve the problem pretty quickly

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Could have highlighted how he removed cartoons from the walls of places they locked up kids because they made it too welcoming but no, Labour are attacking Jenrick for letting in too many migrants

I know she's a hideous psychotic transphobe. But this. THIS is the worst tweet she's ever tweeted. Cringed myself a new anus somehow.

I've always been a big believer in "think global, act local", the big picture is important but it's all the small things that add up to change

Jesse Ventura on America's direction.

I’ve seen this take 1,000 times and I’ve responded to it just as many. Despite JRRT’s grumpy old man politics and Romantic aesthetic influences, he thoughtfully and consistently interrogated nationalism and authoritarianism throughout his work. This doesn’t matter to fascists cuz they can’t read.

Happy Christmas!

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.

Even then, Coop adores Twin Peaks from the moment he gets there, that is very much not the case in The Warden!

Possibly exactly 1 😅
