I hate modem documentaries. I hate the 2.5 minute pitch at the start, I hate the recaps, I hate the Music of Rising Tension that triggers anxiety, I hate the way they presume you're stupid and the presenter pretends they're stupid too. The pitch alone - no trust you'll follow them in. Miserable.

✨ Another glimpse into A Kaleidoscope of Stories! This time we spotlight "Miss Fredrika", an imaginative and extravagantly expressed tribute to a female trailblazer in Swedish literature. A perfect read for those craving a touch of Nordic Christmas magic even in the midst of summer🎄✨

👏I always like a good adjective.

First Past the Post for mayoral elections is a scandal.

6 of 6 mayors elected against the wishes of a majority of their voters.

An average winning vote share of just 32.33%.

In what world is this justifiable?

Bring back preferential voting.

Liberal Democrats win 12 councillors in Kent, with 6 gains. 🔶

General Election result for Sevenoaks in 2024 showing a win for Laura Trott (Conservative) with 36.7% vote ahead of Richard Streatfeild (Liberal Democrat) with 25.8% of the vote.

Today's results make it absolutely clear that if you don't want Tories or Reform, you have to vote Liberal Democrat in #Sevenoaks. This was the General Election result but since then, the Labour vote has collapsed.

📢 No More First Past the Post Elections! Thursday’s election results confirm what so many of us already know: the current voting system is broken. With 5 parties polling strongly, First Past the Post is delivering chaos and turning…

It's no wonder so many people think their vote doesn’t count. More than ever, they’re right.

In today's multi-party politics, First Past the Post is turning elections into a lottery.

Time for a change.

Both Reform and Lib Dem spots are in interesting places on this chart...

Vote Lib Dem in #Sevenoaks to stop Tories and Reform. Yesterday saw a Reform councillor elected with just 26% of the vote because not enough voters got behind the Lib Dem challenger. Don't let it happen here!

Yes! But sadly so many Scandinavians call it ‘moose’ when speaking English. Or American, I suppose.

This is what happens when you mess with writers. They write angry poetry.

Also, they galvanise, protest, and sign petitions.

Amazing. #MetaBookThieves refusing to accept the @societyofauthors.bsky.social letter.

Graphic for the Society of Authors' day of action against Meta. Stop Thief! Meta must #DoTheRightThing

If the UK government agrees to a wholesale undoing of copyright, to excuse Meta's massive theft of books, art, movies etc as 'data', then the creative industries and all of us working in them are finished. All viewers and readers will get in future is unoriginal, derivative slop. #MetaBookThieves
