Went to see Project Hail Mary last night and really enjoyed it.

Concern this material would become completely transparent in the rain. And the trousers would be ruined after i’d walked through a couple of puddles.

Pan fried salmon with new potatoes, charred leeks, asparagus and parsley sauce.

We went wild in the aisles at the garden centre. 3 types of pieris japonica, lemon & lime shrub, ceanothus and clematis.

@crowdedhouse.com we would like to know if the weather changes while shes in any given place or whether she experiences a constant weather invariant to location. Thanks 🙏

Good work! 💪

I haven’t quit alcohol but I am finding myself more often asking this question of myself:

Would I enjoy this without alcohol?

- If the answer is yes, I do it without making alcohol part of the plan.

- If the answer is no, I look for something I actually enjoy.

Gaslighting was exactly the word I was thinking reading the monologue.

I don’t know how this feels to read for a trans person but I felt strong “of-course I love all homosexuals, so long as they accept my bigotry, believe they’re ill, and don’t do anything homosexual” vibes.

Anthony Kiedis is just beautiful.

Thank you for attending my talk.

OGWN reporting that the biggest swing in gorton & denton was from labour to green but it wasn’t “the muslim vote” (sorry, thats how its been reported) rather it was white working class voters looking for the counter-reform platform that labour is ignoring.

Should really be a wakeup to labour but ..

You prove to be the greatest political mind of our generation.

If I was Labour I’d promise to fix the meal deal at £3 ahead of May

Another 26.5km of the capital ring walk completed today with @ealingsam.bsky.social and we’re about half way around.

Youre welcome

Being a Londoner achievement unlocked: got off the tube at a random stop because the guy next to me kept trying to start a conversation.

John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme is very funny. No recent series but still worth a (re)listen.

Just realised Old Oak Common is the missing Zone 2 stop on the Lizzy line western leg.

Follow me for more hot-takes.

Not totally convinced about the wool. It had more impact with colour variation when it was on the ball. Its a little less vibrant than I had hoped, and im not sure its making the best of complimentary colours.

Dog jumper progress: leg holes done but later will go back to add a rib to these.

Progress on the dog jumpers: ribbed neck and start of body; a jumper for a friend’s Boston terrier.

Learning increases, decreases & how to follow a pattern; enjoying knitting in the round so far.

The knitting ninja (aka. Mum) helped with the neck because ARRRRGGHHH WTF. Complicated start.

Friday night in with mum and we’re both knitting.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I'm looking for train enthusiast in Bristol, UK for an on-camera interview about the history of Temple Meads for my journalism MA. Hoping to conduct the interview at the station tomorrow morning (Thursday) at said station! Please DM me and/or share!

The 90s.

Remembering being a teenager in the 90s and everything seemed like it was mostly ok and things were generally getting better over time.

You could take inspiration but jazz it up a bit without changing it too much.

Try replacing the cheese with chocolate sauce.

Not on mushrooms of course; swap those for two hot doughnuts.

Simply replace the salad leaves with icecream.

Garnish with a gremolata made with harbibo and popcorn.
