I've opened up an online shop to sell some books out of my cupboard, and I'll sign them if you want. While I wait for Unbound to cough up what was meant to be my book earnings for the last couple of years, it seems only sensible. Dive in! Limited stocks... www.gralefrit.co.uk/shop.html

It's about time we got rubbish vegan ice-cream. It's all premium. Its not the economy for Magnums. We deserve 5 litres of Iceland neopolitan too. You lot say you care about equality but it feels like I'm on my own out here

A little bit of Monica in my life A little bit of Erica by side A little bit of Rita’s what i need A little bit of Tina’s all I see But they were all of them deceived For another Mambo was made

ok but for real if you want to make a really good indie (or AA) games the number one way is "be financially comfortable via other means" blue prince guy owned a popular website generating income, toby fox was a successful musician... frankly if we had a UBI youd get SO MANY GOOD GAMES

The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad is a finalist in the 2025 Orwell Prize. Delighted to be nominated alongside such a wonderful clutch of books. Thank you to my editors at @sceptrebooks.bsky.social and @scribnerbooks.bsky.social: www.orwellfoundation.com/political-wr...

It’s mental health awareness week. Remember it’s ok not to be ok. It’s also ok to remember that most authoritarian dictators are eventually met with a very sudden and violent death.

Anyway, more importantly, it's TUESDAY. And for the last 27.5 years that's been Malarkey Day. So if you don't have tickets for magnificent Tadiwa Mahlunge yet (alongside @ericrushton96.bsky.social, Elaine Robertson, Jacob Kohn & @tobyhadoke.bsky.social),get some now www.wegottickets.com/xsmalarkey

Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.

Right, Edinburgh previews are now all on sale, one spot still TBC but we're sorting it! So let's take a look shall we? Or you can find out yourself over at www.wegottickets.com/xsmalarkey

So proud of @tobyhadoke.bsky.social for his brilliant book launch yesterday, hosted by lovely friend of Malarkey Abby Cook. If you missed it you can find the book at @tenacrefilms.bsky.social tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com/product/the-... 🧡

I’m very happy to have been given a nice hefty space to fill in The Daily Telegraph with information about Nigel Kneale and The Quatermass Experiment: www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/the-qua...

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

Happy anniversary to all who celebrate! 19 years! NINETEEN!

I love my job as the guy who adds a fake “keep me signed in” checkbox to every website that does nothing
