The Smelt store is now open for business: if 5,000 of you are willing to chip in £10 plus fees each, we can make some brilliant things

This is so human and so hopeful
Sadiq Khan credits the fall in London's homicide rates to the public health approach to violence. If you're interested in what that means, here's a piece I wrote in 2018 about the public helth approach to violence reduction, and how it played out in Glasgow www.theguardian.com/news/2018/ju...
Should we treat crime as something to be cured rather than punished?
The long read: Scotland’s police force has adopted a public health model to tackle violence. Should the rest of the world follow suit?

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

Last in the series of Ashes to Ashes imbued the whole thing with beauty in a way I had not seen coming (same with The Good Place)
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

I suppose on a day like today with global news as it is we should all be solemn and focused. But a glimmer of light came this morning in the form of @shepline.bsky.social’s 2026 calendar and it is such a shot in the arm. Everyone should have a bookshop to visit each month, even if only in the mind 📚

On budget day, think of George Ward Hunt, who delivered his only budget in 1868.
On arriving in the Commons he discovered that he'd left his speech behind, & had to run home to get it while MPs sat grumbling in the Chamber.
That is why chancellors show the red box to journalists before setting out

Yes same answer
I think Pink Floyd - Relics (1971) meets the “shoddy” definition (rushed out by EMI following personnel changes and during the recording of Muddle because yes they thought it was going to be a muddle), AND it might be my most listened to Floyd record 🤷♂️
#NowPlaying Reply with a shoddy compilation that’s also the artist/group’s best album.

I know Handsworth well. I love it. The Soho Road is one of the most vibrant streets in the world. I was attached to the library there for a writing project last year and I wrote a whole chunk about it in my book Hope And Glory. Read it if you get a chance
