Zohran's too positive to quote Andor but I have to believe he's a fan.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

As ever... the vast, vast majority of people don't want the hellscape the right is forcing on us. they really are the minority viewpoint. vocal? yes. powerful? unfortunately, yes. But there are so many more people who don't want to live in the world they're trying to make.

2008 felt like magic. This feels like hard work and necessity and maybe finally hope.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

Did you know that ground was broken on the building of the Hall in early November 1357?

That means it’s our birthday! Happy 668th birthday to us! 🥳

We are looking at a timber framed building on an early winter morning. The sun is just touching the top of the roof.

It's Samhain, and the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest now, so light a fire to keep the darker souls away, and leave some food on offer for the spirits of your loved ones lost, who might be out and wandering on this November Eve.

A solitary candle burning against the darkness.

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X

The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

"The Trump administration has identified targets in Venezuela that include military facilities used to smuggle drugs,” the WSJ reports.

They’re not even trying to be plausible.
