I'm now only using this toxic place for keeping in touch with people who haven't migrated elsewhere yet. Bluesky for new posts.

[St Thomas Food Fight @StThomasFood]

Well done to @LizShinn63, Helen, Mary Ann, Danni and all the kind people who donated to make this happen 🙂⭐

[Exeter College @ExeterCollege]

Students and staff donated to a collection table ran by our HCP faculty. This food is going to @StThomasFood, a charity that provides hot food for those in need. The team of volunteers will provide extra meals over the holiday period.

Scrapping the funding mid year seems outrageous to me. Yes it’s a small number of students but you can’t mess people’s GCSEs around like this.

[St Thomas Food Fight @StThomasFood]

Many thanks to staff and students at Exeter College for their very kind donations of goodies for our provision of free food over Christmas and New Year

A stunning Autumn shot of golden trees lining Exeter’s quayside whilst a gull swoops low over the water has won Exeter City Council’s tree photography competition.

The image from Bart Sadecki wooed judges in the popular competition.

@exitthelemming It was seeing him as "The Master Builder" at Bristol Old Vic in 1989 that inspired me to start writing plays.

And I still have an intense memory of him pausing during "Long Day’s Journey Into Night" in 1991, and feeling a kind of high voltage tension permeate the theatre.

@dougclow Saw this and was reminded of your very sensible proposal in relation to so-called Daylight Savings Time (a proposal that sadly doesn't yet get the traction it deserves)

[James A @ExeterDormouse]

@kermodeandmayo At times elegaic, uplifting, bleak, and wistful, "Nomadland" makes you see the draw of life on the
road.

Mark might choose "Women Talking" for the sound reason that not enough people have seen it. I've not seen it yet, for example.

One hour to go! If you enjoyed the beautiful drama with @MichaelSheen in cinemas, this is your chance to watch again.

Take you seats for the free stream of Nye, available on @NationalTheatre YouTube🕰️

@PortyRosie Making her own is an option. Probably a lot cheaper, and she could sell it as a sideline.

(assuming Natasha doesn't claim any ideas Fallon had or might have had while managing the Bridge Farm Tearoom as Bridge Farm intellectual property...)

I began donating to The Guardian as a response to Trump's election in 2016.

It's not perfect, but without strong independent ethical journalism we'd be even worse off

Eight years ago this night, my son asked me: "What do we do now?"

I answered,

"We walk to the bar, strike up the band, and sing The Marseillaise."

These past few months, my plan for 2025 was to retire from political journalism.

Seems I'll have to make new plans.
