Ahhh, finally...
So it took much fiddling to get the formatting right - Amazon KDP kept printing the main text microscopically tiny.
But finally... FINALLY...!
'Two Brothers Went Fishing' is now out in paperback.
Just in time for Christmas.

Me doing my "in the Criterion closet" video:
Okay so where... is... Richard Lester's Royal Flash?
Also Confessions of a Window Cleaner?
You don't have those? Could you check out back? Great.
Oh and is there any way I could borrow a DVD player from someone?

I support the social media ban if it does anything to prevent a generation growing up thinking just putting apples and mince in an air fryer is food.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

No Genou is Bad News
This horror story begins with a wandering brass band; my sirens.
I will follow a brass band anywhere. There is just something about the way a tuba cuts a shape on the horizon – so brash, so untoward ...

November 2024: This won’t be like it was eight years ago. Back then, MAGA had no plan for being in power, they didn’t even expect to win, once in office they went off the rails pretty quickly. This time, they have a program, they’re organised, they’re disciplined.

Marvellous. Back on the old website, if you posted anything critical of SUVs, you’d be inundated by retired engineers and Jeremy Clarkson wannabes squawking about how they’re actually perfectly safe and “shut up I want big car”.
But here on BlueSky, not a reply guy in sight.

the goal should be to make these guys realize the change they want will never happen and if it does happen it's actually bad and makes their lives worse so they should just check out and watch their silly little stories (worldstar videos of dudes hitting each other over the head with chairs)

It’s like people really thought “I wish there was a president who would just make everything alright for me and make everything I don’t like go away. I don’t understand why there isn’t someone who’ll do that.”
And then: “Oh, there is. At last. You have my vote sir. This will surely be excellent.”
