Finished this excellent book from @dougjohnstone.bsky.social and @orendabooks.bsky.social yesterday. You lot are in for a treat in August. The whole trilogy has been brilliant, and this wraps it all up in style. Thrilling and thought-provoking in equal measure!

I have a joke about Scylla and Charybdis but if I tell it one way it’s too dirty and if I tell it the other way it’s just not funny.

do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser. I highly doubt Facebook is the only company pulling this shit www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

Huge congrats to @rachelclarke.bsky.social for winning the #WomensPrize for nonfiction! All the shortlisted authors were brilliant, and I would have had a hard time choosing a winner. THE STORY OF A HEART is the unforgettable journey of how one family's grief transformed into a lifesaving gift.

It's fixed! Thanks to my brilliant cousin Ben, who knows a lot more about these things, he was able to pinpoint the flickering issue to the failure of a remote-control wiring that I was able to simply remove. We're curious again!
