It's not the sheer ugliness of the new village-sized "major logistics opportunity" that has appeared in the fields outside Durham that bothers me.

It's the fact they've called it Integra 61.

I've never had someone write a review of a review of one of my books before.

Apologies for the Daily Mail link, but for those of us who are fans of The Incredible String Band, this is pretty wild.

JESUS CHRIST KINSKI is a Book of the Year for 2025 in The Daily Telegraph today.

And so is BASE NOTES by Her Indoors (@adellestripe.bsky.social)

Double whammy. Thanks for reading.

A good series, this.

I was embarrassed for all involved in this debacle.

Spoiler: everyone is left traumatised and miserable.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Get in quick: the limited edition signed 'spredges' editions will be gone before Christmas.

(And some are already going for £50 secondhand...)

This US goverment poster is from 1943. The Nazis burned books - this US goverment is banning them. Hard to imagine such a poster being produced now.
