Trick or treaters at the door. Lucy insists I hand out sweets. I offer a silver bonbonnière of crystallised violets and sugared almonds. Apparently, I’m ‘the problem.’

All crime is now legal (except if you’re pointing out you still believe crimes are crimes).

3 more fields being lost to mass immigration. Yet another tiny village being obliterated despite 95% of locals saying “no” to 65 more houses. Mass immigration is the end of England. And if you aren’t prepared to publicly say that then at this point you’re a traitor.

Plans to build 65 new houses at Lea, near Malmesbury, have been unveiled - despite overwhelming objection from villagers.

Rewind: the internet was Pandora’s box. It should have stayed closed.
When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone on stage in 2007, we thought technology would be a great liberator. 18 years later, it is becoming obvious that the smartphone will become a tool of surveillance and enslavement and the single greatest threat to privacy and mental health.

Pumpkins: Halloween is one night. Tonight. If you have to waste a food item (and I strongly suggest you don't), please put it out for one night, then safely dispose of it. Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife. Once you've handled it, cut it, left it out in the open,

I raise you ‘personhood’.
Prison for anyone using the word 'impactful'. It's a crime against the English language. Awkward, ugly and I suspect in some way American

That’s magic!
🦇✨ #BatWeek success! ✨🦇 This long-eared bat came to Tiggywinkles with a large hole torn in its wing. After care in our cosy bat cave (and plenty of tasty meals!), nature worked her magic - the wing healed and it’s now flying free again! 💚 #WildlifeRescue #LongEaredBat #bats

The discussion over AI in fiction and writing reminds me of this passage from C.S. Lewis, where he remarks on how "unliterary" ppl, for whom books and writing are not central parts of their life, regard the apparently affected way others go on about them

Wales is a slow learner it seems
NEW: “Politically, what are they going to do? They could block Wikipedia. Good luck with that” 👇Speaking to @siennamarla, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales warns of a potential ‘political showdown’ with the Labour government he backed at the last election https://t.co/62iW4EF3Zx

🔥🦔 Bonfire Night Reminder! 🦔🔥 Hedgehogs don’t run from danger — their defence is to curl into a ball. A woodpile looks like a safe, cosy shelter to them. 👉 Please move your bonfire on the day you light it to make sure no hedgehogs are hiding inside.

This poor collapsed boy is baby Miller. Found laying out on the lawn in the morning by a couple who provide water and mealworms for their birds. Our hedgehogs are starving. Mealworms are lethal to hedgehogs. A diet of mealworms or other bird food will deform growing joints in

Need a book: The Decline and Fall of England
I'm working on a piece — ‘The decline and fall of the Oxford Union’ — and what I'm uncovering is a morass of controversy and decay in a labyrinth of discontent. There was a time.. ‘Et in Arcadia ego’.
