People of Folkestone!

On Nov 7th I'll be part of the glorious Folkestone Illustration Festival

I'll have some books BUT most importantly I'll have some pencils AND some tips on how to draw stuff ESPECIALLY dogs.

*Vintage is at the printers but arrival will be close for this event.

Just imagined what would happen if every UK bookshop eventually became a Waterstones & one day a government said that certain books shouldn't be sold.

Trump on Orban: "We love Viktor. You are fantastic, alright? I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters. He's a great leader. I endorsed him the last election he had and he won by 28 points. You're gonna do even better this time when you have another election."

That's pretty much what happened in Hong Kong when I lived there. All the small independent bookshops where force out either by insane rent rises or consistent police raids both of which were orchestrated by the Government .

Honestly with the way Starmer is going, I'm surprised he hasn't done a Thatcher to install a video nasties like ban on things like books, movies, tv shows and video games, with this whole age verification and digital ID debacle.

I wish the Green party would drop their new slogan of "Let's make hope normal again". Hope is nothing, it's not even an empty promise, it's a childish wish for something without lifting a finger to achieve it. It's like thoughts and prayers whenever there's an American mass shooting.

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.
