One thing this election seems to be showing is that the influence of the Indo, Mail etc has declined considerably. Nobody is listening anymore. #aras25

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism | Rebecca Solnit Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Someone braver than me needs to get a friend, go to a protest, one of you with a 'I support PA' sign and the other hold a UVF flag.

See what happens.

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

Forget armed bodyguards: I need someone to invent an Auntie app. It pairs you with an Auntie (any gender/race) about a generation older than you. They spend the day on the phone with you, tell you not to worry because you’re amazing, and make you give the phone to strangers so they can talk you up

I never want to hear another American joke about the French surrendering quickly. They had an actual resistance.

A poem I wrote to perform at Glastonbury on the anniversary of Sinead O Connor’s death. Today would have been her 58th birthday - a truly great artist - “they buried me, but they didn’t know I was a seed”

At Guedelon in France, they are building a C13th castle using only C13th techniques. (Do go: it's fabulous.) People often question the usefulness of experimental archaeology.
Well, sometimes it turns out to be handy to have people around who know how to build large early medieval buildings...🤔

This is a great movie - and if you're ever struggling to explain the term "gaslit" to someone, just tell them to watch it.

Anyone who describes themselves as "a cathedral nerd," I'm in! 😄⛪

Fabulous thread for the day that's in it. #NotreDame

Happy birthday to #StColumba, born #OTD in Gartan Co #Donegal though he fell in love with #Derry and became our patron saint. Even though he didn't found the city, as the legend has it, he loved it and you'll find him all over the city, from churches to holy wells to statues to publishers.

The Gregg Wallace stuff really is like an increasingly shitty advent calendar.

Funny that at no point do the Media suggest that billionaires are unaffordable and that they need an 80+% tax on them, like they had in the 1970's.

Surprise as new Netflix series on Brazilian racing legend Senna shows couple moving to Derry A new Netflix documentary about Ayrton Senna has surprised viewers with some scenes more reminiscent of an episode of Derry Girls rather than that of the Brazilian motorsport legend.

Derry Girls or Senna...

We know what's going to happen here.
'Senna was a Derry man.'

When is a blue plaque going up to note that a Brazilian racing legend lived here?

Joking aside, nice to see the city being used as a location for another big show.
