Always pleased too see tree-ring dates published in @varchgroup.bsky.social journal. This year I'm amused to learn that Ye Olde Mitre Inne at Barnet is actually older (1538, 1546-78) than usually claimed (1633). That never happens with pubs! Its still not ye oldest in the country though!

been a minute since I’ve posted The Manifesto so: trans and disabled rights are human rights, abolish ice and defund the police, free Palestine, fuck antisemitism, give the land and artefacts back, sex work is work, abortion is healthcare, join your union, get your vaccines, corgis are perfect

'Bid to buy Rothbury Estate as divisive as Brexit' Funds are being raised to buy the Northumberland estate - but the plans have split opinion.

Fixed that headline for you:

‘One (1) farmer who farms 1,000 acres doesn’t like rewilding, we’ve made that the basis of our headline in a classic example of false balance.

PS everyone else in the story loves the idea of the Wildlife Trusts buying the Rothbury Estate’

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

I feel old fashioned because I indicate LEFT when leaving a roundabout. Right is the current fashion for some reason

Thanks @antonio_explores for sharing

#books #booksky I read today that in the 70s a pulp novel about the members of Hawkwind defending the earth from the forces of banal music sold only 20000 copies so the publishers pulled the trilogy. Then elsewhere that modern publishers say 15% of books sell <12 copies, and a further 66% <1000.

this is the kind of place I'd buy if I was a billionaire. I'd partially knock it down (its the least interesting bit) and manage the land around it as a nature reserve, with the remains of the house just supplying habitat for bats n birds n such. 53 acres of mature parkland and no cunts shooting

The audience at tonight's gig walked through this this sixteenth century church door at Newark. It is liberally covered with apotropaic burn marks... entirely appropriate as I was talking about ancient graffiti 🔥🕯👹
