Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

It’s official! We decided to have a small convention next 8-9 May.

We have the terrific @annasmithspark.bsky.social and Adrian Tchaikovsky as our guests of honor. You can find out more on our website norncon.org

We’d love it if you could join us! And if you’re at Octocon today say hi to Tommy!

😆😆😆 - can relate

If anyone out there knows #PierceBrosnan, tell him I have the script idea he has been looking for.

So many Americans are living lives of quiet desperation — and it's sad as fuck because it doesn't have to be like this. 🥹👇

NEWS > POLITICS Zelenskyy: If Trump gives us Tomahawks, we'll lobby for Nobel Peace Prize Long-range missiles and a ceasefire with Russia is all it would take for a nomination from Kyiv, Ukrainian leader says.

Zelenskyy playing Trump like a fiddle. (Politico)

I think the same.

Bloody hell… worms for breakfast?

@chadbourn.bsky.social No major news from Moscow I suppose..?

Weird how an insurrection was "just free speech"
and now free speech is an "insurrection"

His House is on iPlayer now for 29 days!

What’s their ETA..?

So, if a politician or journalist (or anyone else) says that Palestine Action should not have been proscribed, will they be arrested?

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Is it pronounced ‘Moany’ or ‘Money?’

Here we go

It's about real estate. That's Trump's sweet spot. Rich people like real estate because you don't really need to know anything to make a dollar. Real estate isn't a product. People need homes and office space. (Yes, I have many opinions on this.)

Worth listening to today....this adds up.

Dr. Jane Goodall discusses who she'd send away from Earth on Elon Musk's spaceship.

*Spoiler* Elon Musk, Netanyahu and Donald Trump were her top 3 picks.

Thank you! The shirt is actually more green than it appears here… It doesn’t exactly correspond to any one particular piece of ALIEN clothing but follows the form of Ripley’s jumpsuit in terms of patches and badges.

Trump: "Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists... The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives."*

*Not a single word of this is true.

The Russian city of Belgorod has gone dark after a Ukrainian missile strike on a thermal power plant.

Just had a heads-up from our friend @weirdinthewade.bsky.social that HIS HOUSE is on #BBC2 tonight - so, if you’ve not yet seen it, I can thoroughly recommend it!

I should just stress that my ‘Brett’s cap’ is not an original. £8 cap off Amazon and £3.99 patches from Temu. But I’d let it go for twenny quid.

I also have Brett’s cap. And we have a cat. Not sure I like where this is going… #herekittykittykittykitty

Talking of the times… I recently got some Nostromo patches and ironed them on to an old army shirt. It was meant as just a bit of fun cosplay but then I realised I was wearing the shirt all the time 😆

It’s OK - I’ll catch the next one. 👍
