@alomshaha.bsky.socialReposted by @jonathanemmett.comSurely nobody who’s had anything to do with a major publishing house is at all surprised by this?
@naomiaklein.bsky.socialReposted by @jonathanemmett.comSome thoughts I shared while in the UK, where Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has acknowledged that anti-genocide protestors "were right" but activists are still serving long prison terms for stepping in where their government failed.

@jonathanemmett.comReposted by @jonathanemmett.comThe slide below is from my presentation for the event and I deliberately rotated the drawing of the fossilised leg bone – AKA 'Scrotum Humanum' – through 90º in the hope that it would stop kids sniggering at it. I would certainly have sniggered at it when I was a kid.

@jonathanemmett.comFans of GREAT DINOSAUR MISTAKES, my book with Adam Smith and @stievenvdp.bsky.social, might enjoy this week's BBC Radio 4 IN OUR TIME about Megalosaurus, which is featured in the book and one of the animals I explore in more detail in my GREAT DINOSAUR MISTAKES event.
@jonathanemmett.comThanks, Nick!

@jonathanemmett.comThis is a bit of a Mike Wazowski moment as, despite being deemed the "Best Overall Halloween Book", the book's cover is cropped out of the link preview in the skeet below. Here's the original graphic, which also includes THE HAUNTED PLAYGROUND, the 'Best Book for Early Elementary Schoolers’.
@jonathanemmett.com🆓 A reminder that I'm still offering FREE virtual visits to UK schools who buy a set of CONJUROR'S COOKBOOKS from the signed books section of my website.
That's 4 chapter books, plus a virtual visit that would normally cost £70, all for less than £20!
@jonathanemmett.com🎃 I'm delighted that HALLOWEEN STREET*, by me, Ingela P Arrhenius and @nosycrowus.bsky.social, has been chosen as GOOD HOUSEKEEPING's 'Best Overall Halloween Book' from a selection of 75 new US Halloween titles.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.socialReposted by @jonathanemmett.comFlying is officially on course to account for *almost all* the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Heathrow expansion alone would cause more carbon emissions by 2054 than *any other sector of the economy*. So why is it being contemplated? My column.
