Since my favourite podcast @greatesttrek.com is now reviewing #StarTrek The Original Series, and I’ve coincidently got my youngest child hooked on it too, it seemed the right time to finally take this book off my shelf and start reading it. I’m excited for the journey I’m hoping it will take me on.

My book Where We Stand, Where We fall is now up for pre-order. It's about the politics of Doctor Who, the themes the show keeps returning to over sixty years.
I mentioned this last week, but now there's a proper post about it, with a 30% discount code from the publisher: lmmyles.com/2025/11/26/b...

🚨 New analysis alert!
Our latest modelling shows that living standards are still set to fall across this Parliament up to November 2029.
However, actions taken at the Budget have made this decline less pronounced *by more than half* for low-income households.

It’s still non-fiction November, and a good time to remember that LOTS of children actually prefer non-fiction to fiction and LOVE the sort of information they can learn from a book like this.
Did you know a "jiffy" is a real unit of time? Physicists define it as the time it takes light to travel a distance of one femtometre, which is a millionth of a millionth of a millimetre. This was my co-author's favourite fact she learned from working on "About Time". Read more in this interview:
About Time by Alom Shaha and Rebecca Struthers

Science lovers! Are you going to try and convince some child in your life that science is fun and worthwhile this Christmas? You could buy them one of dozens of commercially available "science kits" OR you could MAKE YOUR OWN to accompany a copy of "Mr Shaha's Recipes for Wonder":
Parents! Carers! Anyone thinking of buying a child a "science kit" for Christmas. For the same / less cost, buy a copy of "Recipes for Wonder" and put together a box of household "ingredients" which will let them do actual science and be a much more personal gift alomshaha.com/portfolio/mr...

We started showing our 8yo Back to the Future tonight. My Spanish wife texted her aunt about it & she said she never heard of it. Then she said do you mean Back to the Past which is its Spanish title.
Shouldn’t be surprised by the literalness as Knight Rider is called The Fantastic Car over there.

It's the same old Soong and dance when genetically augmented humans hijack a starship. Only this time it's a Klingon ship and it'll be war unless Archer and Data's granddaddy Khan work together to capture them. And also...Orions! Listen to our review of "Borderland" at gagh.biz/greatestgen
