Britain has now spent £60m and killed half its population of badgers, having ... 🥁🥁🥁 ... absolutely no effect whatsoever on bovine TB. You know what spreads TB to cows? Other cows, especially factory farming (and maybe sheep and deer).

So what are MPs planning to do next?

Vaccinate badgers.
Thanks for sharing, this looks great.
"It is essential that we hold immigrants to higher standards than we hold ourselves. Double standards have been a proud British tradition since the Enlightenment and are a founding principle of colonialism."
Radioactive stuff! It's the new thing! Let's put it in toothpaste!
"Oh, you might like novels! Clearly you should start at the beginning, so here's Tristram Shandy."
Pssst: If you like #FolkHorror, you would like one of these. And also some of this by @stickinthewheel.bsky.social, who we are going to finally get to see live TOMORROW NIGHT IN LIMERICK!

These are wonderful - definitely want more pics like this in our feed! Also hungry for anything and everything about Traveller / Romani / Gypsy rights and culture.

We're a queer 'broken folk' duo, posting about traditional music, ancient weirdness and contemporary folk cultures.

Trans rights are being used by Christian Nationalists - aka Christofascists - as wedge issues to fracture community consensus in multiple countries. In Ireland, Enoch Burke's family are currently attacking a presidential candidate using this tactic. UK politics totally infested with it.
Next time you see an anti-trans court case in the news, think twice about who’s behind it 👀
We were just thinking of the phantom island Hy-Brasil yesterday, listening to the late, great Manchán Magan talking about Ireland's sacred places.

(Weirdly, Deception Isle on the image shared by Wikipedia does actually exist!)

Why is everyone reading? You should all be out among the ancient sacred stones, painting yourself with bone ash...
Honestly, we'd go for a cheap pill and a pint over blow and fizz with the yuppies any day. Conversation would be much more interesting for a start.
Check this out. Writers aren't necessarily the best readers of their own work - performing text is a totally different skill from writing it. Tom Cox has both abilities though!
I've also added an audio version of this (read by me, not a robot) in case you can't be arsed to read yet more stuff from a screen.
I've decided to make this piece permanently unpaywalled, as a sample of the writing I do on my newsletter. If you like it, you might enjoy a subscription. If not, you probably won't.

P.S. It's significantly better if you read it to the end, I promise.

Sure, just one or two minor patches there.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
Same for us: anyone who was our 'fan' on Spotify and stops listening because we left probably wasn't the sort of fan we need!
We know many people who've made this difficult step, from Substack and from Patreon. It's a horrible, punitive process but everyone tells us that the end result - freedom - is worth it! ❤️‍🔥
We're struggling too. And honestly: playing music. It's the only healthy coping strategy we've found. Whether it's other people's or your own practicing, or just singing / humming, or listening to running water. Tune your gifted perception to a deeper and deeper appreciation of beauty.
