I am currently making a Moo.introll/Snorkmaiden themed baby quilt. You have no idea what this does to my thoughts when I look at the quilt.

My eyesight is so crap right now that I initially misread that as "went from a Pinochet movie to a Frankenstein movie" and the cap *still* fits

That was kind of my point!

Haven't you been paying attention to Israeli government disinformation under Netanyahu? Two years ago I was a "self-hating Jew" because I condemn genocide, but things have moved on and in 2025 that's enough to make me an anti-semite ...

I noticed last month that they are hiring for a Head of Content who also handles crisis com, and boy do they need it

I was in a situation where a guy had lost his arm. He had put on a tourniquet and I administered his morphine. We were waiting for his airlift and I said I hope thats not your wanking hand. He replied I don’t need one I know your Mum😂

I again note that the SNP was for decades an impenetrable orb of omerta, due to their (justifiable) hostility to media. And all it took to crack it open like a piñata was for their ex-leader to get arrested for arse-grabbing, then it haemorrhaged treats for every reactionary wanker in the land.

Hint: "The Regicide Report" (coming in January) is the last Bob novel. And last in the main series. (And the Doctor Phibes homage, because horror.)

Do you recall the dinner party or the elven invasion? If not, you missed book 7 (with Alex).

It switches between characters in every book after book 5. Mo was book 6; book 7 is Alex; book 8 is an ensemble cast, book 9 is Mhari …

I am an *early* Gen X (from the UK) and I am too old, broken, and exhausted to protest—all I can do is vote, and publish angry political novels disguised as satirical SF.

I've never been to Romania!

Not to worry, the UK is busy having an extended political "hold my beer" moment.

No branch of US govt was supposed to be able to fuck things up this badly: problem is, nobody expected the Heritage Foundation to take *all three* branches simultaneously *and* have a corrupt POTUS and SC who would ignore or rewrite the law.
