My ambition to be a writer has so far only resulted in three short stories. The muse is proving restive!
You can find my efforts here: bit.ly/341fXOG together with synopses and an anonymous feedback form.
Enjoy!

Please, go read the definition of "cahoot", Mr Rajan. It doesn't quite mean what you seem to think it does

So, let me get this straight: reintroducing beavers is "Tory legacy" that can't happen, but that awful university free speech law with its stench of culture wars is acceptable?!

In France it is now woke to test future police officer on the ways to treat victims of homophobic attacks (this from one of the main radio stations, which recently took a turn to the right. It used to be the only one my parents listened to, when I was a kid)
Europe 1 (dont l'actionnaire majoritaire est Bolloré) dénonce le fait que les policiers puissent être interrogés durant leur concours sur la prise en charge des victimes de LGBTphobies.
ALT INFO EUROPE 1 - Wokisme : une épreuve du concours de police sur la haine anti-LGBT imposée aux futurs officiers
France is about to have another big rape trial. This time that of a gynecologist with 130 complaints against him... (79 rapes and 16 assaults will go to trial). But it won't get the same coverage because there won't be the people angle of a charismatic victim to front it #r4today

It seems the new MO of the swivel-eyed Musk brigades is to drop a disobliging comment on the one of your posts they object to and immediately block you. I'm sure they feel very proud and righteous for having had "the last word" too 🙄 That's thanks to the new faux blocking system

I'm watching a British series from 2003, and in the subtitles the words "very nice, cold Chablis" are replaced by "very nice, cold [non-english]" 😅
How cool and convenient! You're found guilty but face no consrquence whatsoever because you are rich and powerful... now that's what I'd call two-tier policing (but I bet those normally whinging about won't see it that way)
This is an extremely short-sighted attempt to woo Trump and Co. Younger employees actively look for companies that promote DEI. And such companies are proven to be more successful. Go woke or go broke, Meta!

The right are completely deranged, aren't they? They campaign for years to "free" themselves from a democratic union, only to ask for Trump to "buy Britain" (Littlejohn's latest diatribe) and become subservient to another country...
Fans who know every words to every songs of the artist they like, you say? Whatever next?! #r4today

Now would be a good time, as people are getting suspicious of Meta, for @Flickr to pull their fingers out and release a good alternative app to Instagram for photographers...
I'm starting to wind down my use of Meta's services. I've deleted my personal Threads account and made my personal IG account private. I barely post on FB but have to keep that going to post on my work's page and other pages/groups I moderate...

Lammy dismissing Trump's bellicose rhetoric as "it's classic Donald Trump" is indulgent and short-sighted tosh. It reminds me of the "Boris, what a legend" memes of the London mayoral campaign of 2008, when people weren't taking Johnson seriously. We've seen how that went...

Has Matthew Syed shares in MySingleFriend dot com? He's spelled out the full name of the site three times in the 30min programme! #bbcsideways

They kept telling us Trump is not dangerous, that he is inward-looking, not interested in foreign wars... yet he's already announced he is going to somehow take over Pannama, Greenland and Canada (without rejecting the possible use of military force) #r4today
