Pull up a chair, please. I think it's time to have a talk about book jackets. Particularly modern book jackets. Especially in the UK, and particularly in the crime genre. My sense is that publishers haven't known how to jacket crime novels since the 20th century. I have evidence.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Seeing lots of Bot activity on here recently. Initially assumed I was becoming slightly popular. But no.

Bought this yesterday evening and have just finished it, couldn’t put it down (OK, I did sleep in the middle)
Never thought that people discussing floor plans would make me feel a creeping sense of dread and terror
Genuinely chilling - highly recommended

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
We've teamed up with our patron Stephen Fry, to explore humanist ideas about some of life’s big questions in four animated shorts.

Washed the wife's car in an extraordinary and unusual display of kindness on my part. Must be coming down with something.

For info, my preview of today's meeting from yesterday. ~AA
On Sky News talking about Monday's meeting in Washington. Take a breath, avoid media favourite words like "crunch" and "crisis".
For a much more detailed conversation on all of this with @snellarthur.bsky.social, listen to the podcast in the quoted post.

"I'm rubbish with Excel" is code for "I'm rubbish at my entire job". You don't hear carpenters saying they're rubbish with saws. You don't hear surgeons saying they're rubbish with scalpels. If you work in an I.T. company then fucking well learn to use the tools for your job.

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"
