THREAD.
3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

This is BRILLIANT and you should see it if you can. Also, Humphrey Ker has been “extended due to popular demand” and is now 8’6” tall, which is worth seeing.

For Hansard debates on @theyworkforyou.com, we get source XML from @ukparliament.parliament.uk. This includes new data, plus recent corrections. Yesterday, it included XML for 2nd June 2010. What correction would be worth republishing a day from 15 years ago?

there comes a moment about five minutes after encountering a lost dog when you stop actively looking for a panicked owner and start to imagine a life with the dog. which makes the owner’s eventual appearance pretty bittersweet

Been to see the 30th anniversary release of Heat. A masterpiece, I loved it. Best thriller of the 90s. I find something new in it every time I watch. 5/5.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

LIBRARIES EXIST. if you want to read my book for free that is absolutely fine by me, and you can go to a library and take it home and make a note of anything that’s interesting, and then return it and someone else can do the same. And doing that will help your local library AND I’ll earn a tiny fee.
I see the book piracy discourse is back and as a writer I only have one opinion which is that yea I would actually quite like to earn a comfortable life doing an easy, likeable creative job, I don't think the world owes that to me, but it would be nice, and it's not an insane thing to want
