I didn't have the heart to tell him that nobody gives a shit about the priorities of an unelected gobshite who represents nobody and is not in a position to do anything.
‘My ideas are a little revolutionary’: ecologist Suzanne Simard on intelligent forests, the climate and her critics
Apart from the sovereignty issue, that's about 22% of annual US production of Tomahawks flying past there.
This isn't a sustainable campaign.
"Until a few years ago, it wasn’t clear which was the more US-obsessed half of the political spectrum in Britain. The left parroted gender and race dogmas from American campuses, for example. But the right has long since raced ahead as the more faithful mimics".

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Aditi Anand from The Fabric of Us. I love the images in this book, conjuring rich scenes with glowing colours and loose drawing that captures stance and gesture. A child with two fathers deals with loss. Walker 12 Feb. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social @aditianand.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Jenny Bloomfield from The Chase. Frances Lincoln 5 Feb. Cumulative story of dogs chasing a ball through streets, parks & buildings, picking up objects on the way. Free and energetic but exact depiction of all the dogs @quartokids.bsky.social @jennybloomfield.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Katie Cleminson from her very personal picturebook about loss, Beyond: A story of love and grief. A beseeching penguin alone in a crowd on a busy, rainy street. Drawn in brown Ink and smudged colour, evoking mood & place. Bloomsbury 12 Feb. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Tom Schamp, a page from Beauty of Letters: The Most Awesome, Brilliant and Comprehensive Alphabet Book. With a spread per letter, this makes objects and ideas out of the shape they begin with. Lots of detail to look at and discuss. Prestel 3 March. @tomschamp.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by David Barrow from My Tiger (Gecko Press 3 March). Painterly, characterful & comic, with impact not least in the use of scale. Text by Joy Cowley: things don’t go well when the tiger is taken to the dentist & told not to eat cake any more. Unwise. @geckopress.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay. Spread by Ruth Brown from her gorgeous new picturebook Tick-Tock Around the Clock: A day in the life of a cat. Stunning draughtsmanship in a wonderfully detailed handmade scene of the cat going out into the garden, with squirrels, birds, mouse, dog. Scallywag Press 3 March.
So lovely
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Ellie McKenna from Stay!, written by her sister Fran Harlow and based on the true story of a dog found sitting by a suitcase.

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Gill Smith from Where Are You, Eddie? by Michael Rosen, about a cat’s wisdom and how those we’ve lost are present in memories. Thoughtful image, in watercolour and crayon, with reminders of joys. Walker 12 March. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
Hahahhahahahaha toy soldier really hopes you think the military academy is the military!
It ain’t lol
Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.
(And would much appreciate a RT please)
Morning all.

Such a handsome book about such a brilliant designer.
One of the projects you can support on Smelt is a new sitcom by me. It's called The Least Bad Of All Possible Worlds and it's about refugees from parallel universes trying to integrate into society in Morecambe. You can pledge to fund it here: if you fund it, we make it! mirlo.space/leadmojo/rel...
Here is a tale of ordinary misogyny.
Except it isn’t. This man is a barrister who has been warned before, and who feels so secure, that he provides his chambers contact in his Twitter profile.
Here is the Tweet, please follow the thread:
Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
