This is how I access Bluesky…

3 points and up the road 🇧🇪

Whoop!

The BBC’s US partner CBS News…

I don’t know how you ever get back to having standards in public life after this shower have gone.

The box wine hiding from Pirro tonight

They’re all terribly keen on baths aren’t they?

I wouldn’t have given the penalty and the red card, but I’m not stubborn and will accept them.

Had to step out of the room when it was 0–0 and I seem to have missed some goings on.

I try to take people as I find them, but the Manster just looks like he might be trouble.

Poster for the film "Everyone To Kenmure Street"

Enjoying seeing Everyone To Kenmure Street this afternoon. The heartwarming tale of people clinging on to the undercarriage of an immigration enforcement van. Good to see this getting a general release, on in several cinemas across Glasgow this week. AND a soundtrack from Barry Burns.

For #FoundFilmFriday, we’re honoring a film that finds beauty in the breaking: Lynne Littman’s Testament (1983). Long overdue for a definitive release, The Criterion Collection is bringing a new 4K restoration to shelves on March 17. A vital win for Missing Movies Org! Don't miss it!

In my “eclectic collection” of VHS tapes stored in various boxes, I found an old sock. This was met with considerably less fanfare.

Colleague asked me what my favourite TV show was and I said probably The Moon Landing and after a few minutes of quietly googling he shouted DO YOU MEAN THE ACTUAL FUCKING MOON LANDING!?! at me and said it doesn't count and I said 'oh so you're one of those...' and he called me the C word.

Image of the paperback of Her Name Is Alice. Alice it a pre-schooler, standing on the drive about to get into our car. She is wearing typical ‘boy’ clothes but carrying her sisters neon pink handbag and wearing sunglasses. Also on the cover is a quote from Jolyon Maugham, “Grapples, without flinching. with a question every parent asks: to whom does their child's life belong?' And a tag line: My Daughter, Her Transition and Why We Must Remember Her Another quote is: “Shines an unyielding, necessary light on the devastating impact of transphobia' JOHN MCCULLOUGH (He’s a great poet. Look him up)

Most books don’t sell.

I checked Amazon a few times yesterday as it was publication day for Her Name Is Alice paperback.

14 left in stock, it said. All day.

This morning there are 13 left in stock and my book’s shot up over 850000 places.

Buy two and who knows how high it will rank!

🎵 I just called to say…

I think I prefer the “I’ll build a library, free membership, just put my name on the building” guys.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Maybe I just have a big ego (no maybe about it), but when I’m in various writing applications and am inundated with buttons that beg to let some uninvited AI parasite to “Write” “Revise” “Polish,” my only thought is: You wish you could do this as well as I do.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Another big part of it: large sections of the media behaving as if the right didn’t suffer a comprehensive defeat.

This is entertaining and excruciating and looks like the tip of an iceberg that keeps popping up. You give people a lazy tool and damn right they’re going to lazily deploy it, in school, in court, everywhere.

The Most Dangerous Game is a cracking end to the day.

Oh this is fantastic. Elegantly brutal and funny. Cor.

He slaughtered dozens of their children, then accused them of slaughtering their own children, then admitted that, hey, he was just popping off, who knows really.

I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.
