Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

It's just as well that William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings. With a name like that, it would have been embarrassing if he'd lost. Lucky bastard.

Kid Rock is a big Trump supporter, but not many people know that his siblings, Kid Paper and Kid Scissors, are registered Democrats and it threatens to tear the Kid family apart.

If you missed Trump's speech to the Knesset, simply imagine a balloon full of shit inflating itself in front of an audience of coprophiliacs eager for it to burst.

Columbus Day is now more commonly celebrated as Indigenous Peoples’ Day because Columbus “discovered” America only in the same sense that George W. Bush discovered Iraq.

Margaret Thatcher was born on this day in 1925. It's easy to forget she's been dead for twelve years when the current political landscape is infested with drooling Thatcherite ghouls, scavenging for yet more sacrifices to lay at the decomposing altar of the free market.

It’s a sad reflection on the quality of British political life that when Russia wants to buy influential mouthpieces the best they can get for their money is the pitiful shower of third rate grifters, spiteful bigots, and barking nutters who represent Reform UK.

Be kind to your beard and your beard will be kind to you.

Paul Bassett Davies @thewritertype.bsky.social · 2d

Trying to choke you could be a sign your beard is acting out and may actually be a cry for help. I suggest beard therapy.

Paul Bassett Davies @thewritertype.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you, your friendly and creative suggestions are a welcome contribution to the pet beard discourse.

Hang in there. Keep hope alive.

I’m thinking of growing an emotional support beard. Beards make great pets: they're undemanding company, they can live off the crumbs they collect, they need less exercise than a dog and they're easy to shave, whereas many dogs become hostile if you try to shave them. It’s a no brainer.

I love this time of year, when the world is ablaze with colour and the low autumnal sun catches the glorious reds, oranges and yellows of Donald Trump’s head.

It’s World Mental Health Day and if you’re fortunate enough to be in good mental health today please show your gratitude by refusing to stigmatise those who happen not to be.

Finished #DeadWritersInRehab this morning before work. Absolutely loved it. Twisty, and things you think you understand, turn out to be much better than that.

(I'm just sad that I think I've read all of @thewritertype.bsky.social 's books now.)

Very glad to hear you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know. And thanks for reading my other books; I’ve just written the first draft of a new novel if that helps!
Gonna follow you back, because gratitude.

We regret to inform you that the Nobel Peace Prize is antifa.

Please can I have a Nobel peace prize, I helped a friend of mine murder a bunch of his neighbours and now I’ve told him to stop, so I’ve definitely done a peace. Give me the prize immediately please, not that anything could possibly go wrong, but just give it to me now, or else.

Happy birthday to Brian Blessed. Not many people know that Brian Blessed is a highly skilled horse whisperer, but he has to stand in the next field.
