Woah. Beast!

Glory be!

The crocuses in Roundhay Park this morning were irresistibly cheerful.

Petition to have these two cancelled ASAP

Further belated bday wishes coming atcha

Governments sure are into betraying their natural constituencies these days, huh?

Launching a new newsroom is simple in theory:

If 500 people back it, we build it ⚒️

We’re working towards bringing independent journalism to West Yorkshire - and support like this from Robyn Vinter really means a lot.

Hi Hadas, new follower here. I absolutely loved this essay. God, the things I'm watching friends do in mid-life. It's crazy making for so many people. It's a fascinatingly unhinged era of life!

Hell of a @letterboxd.social #LastFourWatched.
An uneven, slightly nasty 70s Robert Redford thriller, a stylish coming-of-age Joachim Trier debut, a delightful 60s technicolor Finney and Hepburn marital battle, and Powell & Pressburger's Scottish masterpiece took my breath away. #letterboxdfriday

Goodness Ben, this is a day of too much good news.

Can't believe the Labour strategy of going door to door since the election, punching their voters in the face and yelling 'What are you going to do, vote for someone else?' didn't work out.

You're such a gent for doing this every year, Ian.

I know the big story is those top two, but good lord 1.9% is funny. Basically just votes from relatives and pets.

Magnificently awful

I know good news is thin on the ground but god, it’s always nice to see racists get smacked down.

Matt Goodwin looking like an idiot with flags and doing double thumbs up.

Sad trombone

Insulting his constituents, Matt Goodwin does the most Matt Goodwin thing. Blaming others for failing to see his brilliance. Academics first, now voters. This sentiment is driving his radicalisation. Maybe even people at Reform will realise that it‘s a very bad quality for a politician to have.

Has anyone said more like Matt Goodlose yet

if you’re planning to wait for all the sensible, reasonable columnists who said that they *weren’t* transphobic, they just had reasonable concerns, to rush to the defence of trans people who now need to change their driving licenses, do pack plenty of food and water, you’ll be waiting a while

We are so close to halfway there!

Could you get behind launching a new newspaper in Leeds?

Text reads ‘25/26 Northern Directors. A shadowing and mentoring programme for new directors in the North’. Text sits on background of colourful stripes.

It’s your final call. That Northern Directors application won’t send itself, and we really want to see it! 🚀

We’re teaming up with the BBC and Clerkenwell Films to give two emerging short-form directors a paid shadowing and mentoring placement on a TV production. https://bit.ly/fhn-nd

Awful news, Moose, sending much love to you and yours xxx

Wayne Rooney will miss the curling at the Olympics.

That's the Olympics over then, gang.

What a great film, no flags needed

The Canadian men’s curling team look like the bullies in a 50s teen movie.

Noncequences.

🚨 It looks like we might be hiring very soon. If you’re a journalist in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield or Halifax - or you grew up there and want to move back - please contact @djstimms.bsky.social with haste. As soon as we hit 500 we can hire.
