Coming down with a cold just as the pre-Christmas "where the hell's this contract/advance" kicks in. Perfect.

The chosen one has described the chubb key we use for our front door as "the golden axe one" so I think buying retro games for him is already fully justified

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.

Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?"

Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land."

Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.

I see the first 3 books in the God Fragments are all just £2.99 at the moment, which is a much better price than usual! In case like me you also enjoy drunken idiots blasting their way around ancient, monster-infested underground ruins

Huh, next week I'll have been at canongate for 4 years, if you don't count the 9 months of freelancing I did before that. Definitely going to remember everyone's name soon.

Farage reckons he can just about avoid proof of direct racial abuse. It's not a high bar is it?

Today, I shall be mostly getting angry about the company policy that ends "a human will always be involved in the narration and creation of the Audio Book."

See if you can spot the various ways this will be used to maximise profits that will not be shared with the author.

This is so funny.

"I'm afraid the economy now runs primarily on me and my idiot threads throwing more and more money at the Create the Torment Nexus project. We can't afford to go backwards. Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne."
One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

First book fair wasn't a total disaster, which is a relief. Sold a few, met some good people, maybe I'll do it again.
