Goarn Stoke!

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

The soundtrack is his best. Strawberry Letter!

Of all of Tarantino's films, Jackie Brown is the one that's aged the best, IMO.

WHY is he so bad at communications? Honestly, it's not very hard. Really. But he's like the anti-communicator.

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

I've seen Boss Baby. I think Aptamil might be for closers.

Lots of competition in the newborn baby market, though. How will you differentiate?

Very much this. It is never, ever done.

Absolutely THIS. Much, much more of this. Call out the bullshit, and this is bullshit.

Don't pander to the swivel eyed loons. Call it out, hard. More of this from every party (that isn't fascism FC).

They do a wonderful line in breast enlargement, or so i've heard. Just get in touch with Zach.

Oh yes, i'm not totally despondent, but I'm sort of broadly where @tprstly.com is. I don't think it'll be representative.

Agreed that fascists / Reform losing is a very good thing. I'm still bemused why there hasn't been more of a narrative reframing immigration, mind you!

I am actually not *that* cheered by Gorton 'n' Denton's results.

10 and a half thousand people thought an actual fascist would be a good candidate.

Parties of all stripes - please, explain the benefits of immigration. Explain that without it, the country will be buggered. Do it today.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

A cherry tree with white blossom. It will go red soon..!

Too kind! Thank you. I will cross post a bit on LI, but only the more profesh ones.

NB, here’s the cherry tree as of this morning.

I like the idea of either Phoebe or Ross as Snarf. Ross is arguably funnier.

A real pity that the job lot of Happy Socks I was bought are turning into Sad socks. Don't buy them, if you're thinking about it - they do not last long at all.

How can they be SO BAD at communications? It's one of the major failings of the government - not shining a light on good things they've done, bungling the bad / hard things.

Finally, a win! #goarnstoke

@phil-adams.bsky.social encouraged me to try it. Good so far!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the ramblings. :)

Heartily agree. A few decent tunes, but he went full synth and it didn't really work.

The Jimmy tune with BC on vocals is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNIZ...

The new Holy Fuck stuff is really good. open.spotify.com/album/0caseE...

NB, I sort of know one of the main blokes; went to school with his brother.

Thank you very much! I've been thinking about writing on something not LinkedIn for a while. Will make it a bit more out there / personal (and hopefully musical) vs. LI.

Heartily agree. I have certainly had a bit of an interlude from that...

I will still give it a listen. There's the odd word in Man of Aran. :)

Too kind. Hoping to write more open and honest stuff, and less performative business cosplayery. :)

Friends worry he's started a newsletter (called Flibbertigibbet). Please have a look, subscribe if it takes your fancy: buttondown.com/Will_Humphrey/

A top 5 band i've ever seen. So, so much better live than on record.

Obviously, I get that a lot of courses are great. But some of this stuff is wild.

A 6 week course about brief writing for £400... it speaks to an industry that doesn't want to train that this even exists.

We've had the coachification of employment.

Now is the time for courseification - this one, this one, this one...everything's for sale.
