Nothing as feminist as basing whether women can use the toilets on if they're hot or not.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.

This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.

Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

Excellent - because (a) AI covers are crap* and (b) visual artists deserve protection from lazy AI slop just as much as those who do the writing.

* Like both of these covers.

I see otherwise sensible people getting lost in the conspiracyballs with Epstein. The ruling class are not chessmasters or Eyes Wide Shut style decadent cultists. They're shambolic, grubby, foolish people, blinded by greed, privilege, and hubris. Same with states and intelligence services.

Delighted and honoured to have published it!
Without a doubt, it's As A Kang Should Be from @obversebooks.co.uk: I've had a busy year this year, but this one felt like lots of things came together to make this a fun book to write that was perfectly in my wheelhouse but also needed to exist in this moment. obversebooks.co.uk/product/para...

At the request of a partially sighted reader, we changed our usual layout for the Senor 105 books, using double spacing, larger font size and a new font Atkinson Hyperlegible to make the text easier to read.

It seems not everyone likes it but if you've seen it, what do you think?

Following on from October's Black Archive title, The Mysterious Planet by Jez Strickley, we can announce the books for the next six slots, covering the remainder of 2025 and most of 2026. Fans of the first and fifth Doctors are likely to be particularly pleased.

I have been loving these. I mean, of course I'm going to read a parody of Doctor Who as a masked luchador scientist in 1970, but there's a lot of love and fun in these stories. Even though I opted for the ebook versions, I'm glad these are now in print!
For the first time in paperback, the Periodic Adventures of Senor 105!

Absolutely fuck that.
This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

Out now in paperback, ebook and the usual combo deal - THE MYSTERIOUS PLANET, Black Archive #79, written by Jez Strickley!

A much under-rated story and Bob Holmes' last full script, MP is packed with duality - and for once, it's not just his dodgy double acts!
