As a 17 y/o in the 1980s I had a Saturday job in the local library. Fancied a girl but was far too shy to ever do anything about it. Instead I used to waive her fines. I also secretly tripled the amount of books she could borrow, and increased her membership expiry date to 2999.

Soooo... if Boris Johnson did actively suppress a report that found Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum to produce a result he supported... isn't that de facto collusion with a foreign power against the interests of the UK? Y'know, I'm sure there's a term for that.

This is how you write a headline.

That is the entire script.

This is where that climactic scene from A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) falls down, sadly. Trump calls his base cultist simpletons to their faces and they just laugh and applaud.

My favourite seats in the cinema is that one row that faces away from the screen so I can treat it like I'm listening to the radio. Also. Without a shred of sarcasm or hyperbole, mate, talk to somebody. A real person. That's not a relationship you've got there, that's psychiatric quicksand.

My fantasy is a hot mic moment when people like Trump and Kennedy lay into the suckers who support them. “A Face In the Crowd” is a brilliant movie that describes the times we live in.

Eh, there's better.

AIR FNORD ONE (1997), in which the POTUS (Harrison Fnord) has to fight night gaunts and byakhees swarming the presidential aircraft. YOU'D WATCH IT. DON'T YOU LIE TO ME. YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY WATCH IT.

Good for him! More of this from other celebs, please.

Trump's entire Presidency is just a smash and grab. Trump is just trying to steal as much money from his own idiot supporters and the American people as fast as possible before the entire country burns down.

If so, they were wearing headgear like this; those are bowlers.

In his whole life, even before the tub of guacamole he uses for a brain went well past expiry, has he EVER said anything intelligent? Anything that isn't reflexive, anything that betrays a modicum of thought went into it? This isn't even shade; I truly don't recall it EVER, from the '80s to today.

It's been a very shit day work-wise, but it's some small crumb of comfort to know at least that my last novel sold more on release day than Sue-Ellen's bag of racist wank

Well, well, well. What is this that is here?

just absolutely revolting that *book publishing* execs are pushing AI. your industry would not exist without human creativity and LLMs are not only built on wholesale theft but are ultimately unhuman, when that should be the entire basis of your work

Anyway HAPPY FRIDAY I wrote the book I wanted to write! Maybe it will be the book you would like to read! :D Contains: demons, sentient streetlights, a seven foot-tall bare-knuckle lady boxer (former), the full-course dinner at The Wretched Dragon, a museum exhibit full of tiny dragons, and spies!
