Oldest person man? Fuck’s sake.

Just realised that *I* am the oldest person man at the hardcore show

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵

Some bullet points that I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could our journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

Started my ADHD meds last week, but at a time when I had two days off, and then the weekend. Actually quite excited about seeing what I can achieve at work this week with my new superpower...

Incriminating things about you

Phew! Thinking is hard, so this is much better. Better start practicing my boot licking technique

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Walking to the car muttering 'Mummy wouldn't have stood for this' under his breath.

Can fully imagine Andrew on the doorstep in his dressing gown this morning getting very red faced and blurting out 'BUT IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!'

Two good Tumblr posts by user telltaletypist it's wild that virtually all modern digital infrastructure is built to constantly spy on us and harvast our data for advertising yet online advertsing is still basically worthless and nobody seems to actually be benefitting from all this a vast rube goldberg machine of privacy violations all working together to deliver the most precisely targeted ads straight into my adblocker

Finally received my first dose of meds for ADHD. Only took *checks notes* five years after I first asked my GP. Just over two years since I was referred under right-to-choose to a specialist provider

Book cover of The Memory Shades by David Watkins.

👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻

The Memory Shades by David Watkins has hit the world 😱

Review by @jenramsden.bsky.social

Sci-fi horror at its best, lots of interwoven plots with twists and turns you don't see coming. With fascinating and well developed characters, this story was unputdownable!

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

Quite aside from his horrific crimes against women and young girls, it’s incredible the effect Epstein has had on funding, networking, and emboldening the worst fucking people on the planet.

UBI for artists is cool, but easy to sell as “you people think the world owes you a living”.

The irony is that the world *does* owe artists a living. Tech corporations just worked out how not to pay it.

My last four films watched on Letterboxd. They are: A 5 star review for Man on Fire (I don’t care, this remains an all timer for me.) A 4 star review for New Zealand horror Housebound (A nicely executed balancing act between tension and humour that does tip somewhat into the latter in the end, but doesn’t ruin it by doing so.) A 4 star review of Happy Gilmore 2 (might have been drunk when I scored that) (Watching the actual golfers having fun is very sweet) and A 3.5 star review of We Live in Time (Don’t mind me I’m just gonna go wait in the road until Florence Pugh runs me over) Come find me on Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/PRSBooks/

I am a man of impeccable taste. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky #films #movies
