This week, mayor November brings us a very ambitious and very flawed man, Mr. Newcastle himself, T. "The" Dan Smith. A self-described "fool surrounded by a pack of leeches." Will he succeed in turning Newcastle Brutalist? Will we find out why he lives in a mansion? Find out!
Looking for a holiday gift? Why not pick up Mattie's new book.
Here's Pavarotti:

Here are those renderings, by the way:

Letβs start a petition for November to begin reading audiobooks, so we can listen to her while falling asleep *without* giggling and waking ourselves up π€£

2025-12-28 17:42:19 +0000 UTCspeaking as someone from Newcastle myself, the descriptions of what all this could have been towards the start make me really fuckin depressed and despite it all, a city that is routinely said to be the friendliest in the country. christ this feels like reading those old soviet time capsules, mixed with the knowledge that every person who could possibly give a shit has completely forgotten that the place exists
