I’ve spoken up for Scotland’s nature!

The Natural Environment Bill's next debate on 19 November must make sure its strong enough to restore wildlife, protect our future, and unite us in recovery.
action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...
Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November. Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Oooh I can't wait. This book is almost as guilty as Jordan Peters on for its effects on the collective male psyche
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Was not expecting to hear the phrase "up to their eyeballs in clunge" in reference to Watership Down but I have to thank @eleanormorton.bsky.social for the huge lol I did
It's time for Eleanor & Alasdair Read That! We're talking Watership Down: a cutey-cute rabbit book for babies. In this month's episode, I become a Male Feminist™ and @eleanormorton.bsky.social sings the X-men theme.

Doctors want to know her secret
Having the sort of workday where I’m now going to relisten to the Peter Rabbit episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read That because maybe @eleanormorton.bsky.social describing Squirrel Nutkin as “cunty” will fix my mood

Ok, so it's not just me having a hard time reading them. He's giving off Charlize Theron in Arrested Development vibes, like 'Hang on, I think this person might be incredibly thick'
These emails prove that Jeffrey Epstein was so rich and powerful he didn't even need to conform to the rules of the English language.

You all have 8 days to read Watership Down!
@eleanormorton.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social Thanks to your upcoming podcast I'm finally getting to Watership Down after years of delay, and to those who want to be entertained I can strongly recommend the audiobook with Peter Capaldi, which is vivid and amazing

I'm going on tour in 2026! Come and see me doing one of the best reviewed shows from the Ed Fringe (according to the British Comedy Guide). It's called King of Crumbs, and it's a load of old nonsense, really. Book now!

A rather pathetic plea that I don't get paid to make these (No TV company has taken up any of these pitches) so every penny counts in helping me make more silly stuff through these terrible cozzie lives ko-fi.com/eleanormorton
