We just love to support fellow booksellers when they publish a book, but we can assure you that there is no bias at all when it comes to Fiona Hardy's latest novel. It's an awesome thriller! youtu.be/bk-9otnScZs @affirmpress.bsky.social @fionathehardy.bsky.social

HAPPY NEW BOOK DAY to @fionathehardy.bsky.social for her exquisite new piece of Melbourne-based Yeah Noir fiction, UNBURY THE DEAD. I loved being asked to advise on this book, I can't wait for you all to read it and I hope it gets a sequel. Buy it from your local bookstore THIS WEEK.

In this age of zoom chats I was v excited to announce to anyone near me today “I am very busy going to a MEETING with my PUBLISHER!” It was rad to see some of my Affirm team in person AND meet the final print version of my book for the first time 😍

I still check Twitter most days, but I have this rule where I have to stop as soon as I see something depressing. Anyway today I kept persevering, hoping for gold, and just made myself sad instead because the algorithm is all “you’re here so I guess you want to see some jerks, huh?”

AI journalism: incorrect, boring, taking jobs away from an industry that needs them This journalism: 😍

I know I’m in a perpetual rage about AI, but I think it’ll be a short-lived era. Because it is already awful and will only get worse, right? It will start learning from all the borked AI stuff out there and will think the incorrect facts are true and the messed-up graphics are fine?

Pals, I’m staying in Bendigo overnight for an evening shenanigan soonish — what fun things can I do there during my daytime hours?

Some resolutions for 2025: - Consume extra plastic, especially microplastics - Practise unkindness - Start smoking - Double my screen time - Eat more candy. Perhaps stolen from babies - Be less mindful
