Shocked and delighted to find "The Homeowner's Bride" included in Reactor's list of must read short speculative fiction!
This Bengali horror-romance about a queer haunted house that's down to fuck is free to read at @othersidespec.bsky.social:

Excellent work from @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social here who have extracted every LGBT+ related comment and commitment from all of the major Scottish party manifestos. They pass no comment on any of it here, leaving readers to reach their own conclusions. Much of it truly is damnable.
“AI as a Fascist Artifact”

> And here again “AI” shares a core idea of fascism: Both are based on the destruction of solidarity and labor power in order to cement the totalitarian control about the centers and sources of power.
i mean, who among us
I suspect the point of Chelsea is something I probably can't say on this website. Sure are a lot of transactions involving them though.
Not been enjoying the indie that much, but Old 97s are pretty great. Nothing radical, they are just spot on with the tunes, music and sound. Nice harmonies!
honestly not trying to be clever, I like his luxurious weirdo stuff far, far more than his (imo) somewhat dull pop classics
This is going to be great

Imagine if he turns up dead tomorrow, not a mark on his body but with an expression of sheer terror on his face, in the large walk-in larder they must have in there.

Hi this joke is for me
They do it for these reasons - in spite and out of greed. Just for money.
David Cameron got that pig's head pregnant and thats where wes streeting came from
I love Uggi, thank you for posting more Uggi content
If you vote Labour you'll get Reform though, because they are likely to coalition with Reform to retain power after the next GE. Getting rid of Starmer won't fix that.
Scintillating play from the Australian newcomer overcomes a spirited challenge from Turkey. Plum would have got the extra vote were it not for Paraguay's wonderful interplay
An entertaining encounter between two open and attacking songs. Do you have a mechanism for draws?
Paraguay's calm, intricate passing easily unpicks a lumpen USA, who earn an early red card.
This was a good idea!

If an AI was a good creative co-brain it would say; this bit’s shit; that’s weird; you wrote that metaphor already; who talks like that?; wow the snarky girl suddenly got polite; who cares what a tree looks like; bored now!; that rhymed, cut it; what does this add?; you spoilt the joke…

Terrorism is when you try to stop a genocide, free speech is when you try to start one.
I'd hope Lambeth comrades are dealing with it, don't want us to be all leadercentric. Details here, I don't like this guy but he's not the Spectator and I don't think he'd make stuff up - bsky.app/profile/dani...
Behind Labour’s transphobic takeover of Stonewall announced today is likely to be an attempt to bring in a *faux* ban on conversion therapy (torturing people, especially trans kids, to make them straight or cis).
This is my article in @northwestbylines.co.uk about what I think they are planning…
This was the first time I nominated in one of these. I used the unlimited noms to nominate things I thought ought to be in (representing the sound of the time e.g. Oxide & Neutrino) as well as ones I loved. 2001 was so not an indierock year, which is why I've been carping about all the indierock!
I remember when the LGB Alliance first formed and they were almost universally mocked - the name itself makes it very clear what they’re doing! It’s not subtle! Now we have Scottish Labour MPs speaking at their conference.
