At the #GaryCon artist's booth I learned that Larry Elmore was willing to do the covers of the new Dragonlance trilogy but was told that they wanted a digital artist because digital art has more "pop." So instead of a cover like the one on the left we got the one on the right.

Lord Lexden in the House of Lords: “How should the sudden imposition of an unprecedented education tax on 1 January, after a rushed consultation last summer when schools were on holiday, be described? Just one word does it: cruel.”
The Independent Schools Association (ISA)@isaschools

In a recent exchange in the House of Lords, Lord Lexden highlighted the Government’s refusal to acknowledge and correct the damage its policy is wreaking on independent schools... isaschools.org.uk/resource/isa-p…

@Nigel_Farage Can't you just apologise to each other, have a nice dinner, reach some kind of agreement to behave, bring @RupertLowe10 back as a Reform MP then focus again on the real challenge, ie defeating your real enemies Labour and the Tories?? Come on. The police stuff is surely bogus.

I have fought against the rape gangs for over a decade. For Rupert Lowe to say that I tried to prevent him talking about it is monstrous. He told Lee Anderson he would 'slit the throat of the Reform party'. Lowe is out to cause damage & should be ignored by our supporters.

@ZelenskyyUa You better wear a suit and tie when you visit our King, Mr Zelenskyy. Your support in the UK is already thin.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I’m thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion.

@POTUS Pity you couldn't have roasted @Keir_Starmer like this, he deserves it more, he campaigned against you, called you lots of bad things, came with a begging bowl... Missed opportunity!

President Donald J. Trump
“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.” –President Donald J. Trump

@antoniabance How about ensuring apprentices can read and write? Rather than redefining "success" as illiteracy + innumeracy. Appalling. @UKLabour are the "massive barrier".

Good news! The Labour government are removing the requirement that adults over 19 have to get a Level 2 English and Maths (=GCSE pass) in order to complete an apprenticeship - a massive barrier in Tipton, Wednesbury and Coseley where 25% of adults don’t have those qualifications

@ponyfaceddog @ianpacemain I have often wondered if this results from (generally) a man's preference not to verbalise emotions that he nonetheless has. It's art form that allows him to express deeply without a) having to use words or b) having to do it directly in front of someone else.

@YoDanno Just American pants or English pants as well? Hard to tell but I would definitely rather not wear a scale mail skirt, like the dude on the right, without English pants.

@RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @BloombergUK How does building an airstrip in 10 years' time boost economic growth now? If you really wanted growth, you'd cut VAT, employer NI, and Corp Tax immediately, do serious trade deals, deregulate and spend less. But you aren't serious, you're a communist without a clue.

@bphillipsonMP The tories didn't get much right but one they did manage was to objectively improve schools and education outcomes. You are destroying schools and ruining our kids' education, for ideological reasons only. You're a nasty piece of work.

Plenty anger on the Tory benches, little by way of ideas. Still clutching to their dire record Still defending stuck schools Still protecting uniform racketeers Still set to cut £1.8 bn from state schools Labour is cutting costs for parents and driving higher school standards.

Campaign Against Antisemitism
Campaign Against Antisemitism@antisemitism·
“Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to another ethnic group.” Jews. The word you’re looking for is ‘Jews’, not ‘people’. This truly beggars belief. This dire reporting is not only factually incorrect but erases Jews from a genocide in which six million Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered specifically because they were Jews. How is it possible, therefore, that on Holocaust Memorial Day of all days, @GMB manages to acknowledge several other groups but not Jews? To make matters worse, there is no reference to Jewish people at all for over two minutes into this segment, and when there finally is one, it is only done once and in regard to former history students taking a tour of the Jewish quarter of Kraków. Additionally, there is bafflingly no utterance of the word “antisemitism” whatsoever. If this is intended to pay respect to the victims of Holocaust Memorial Day, it has failed abysmally and ignores the true nature of this horrific event. How on earth was this allowed to happen, @ITV? We demand an explanation.
