Oh, hai! Rest of World, my novella Fitcher's Bird comes out tomorrow! Australia, you've got another week to wait, sorry! And if the words "beautiful", "bleak" and "violent" don't sell you, then honestly I just don't know what's wrong with y'all! 🤣

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

No worries! We've all got those TBRs.

Never gets old seeing something like this.

Alan Baxter @alanbaxter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Ah, that's a wonderful sight! I really hope you enjoy them.

Fresh cut grass is green but it smells yellow. Dry grass is yellow but it smells green. I won't be taking questions at this time.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Singing My Sister Down by Margo Lanagan is one for sure.

Important piece of marine science nuance: when a shark attacks a human, it's almost always an unintentional encounter. Sharks do not think about you, at all. When a whale strikes a ship, it is almost always intentional. They know us. They understand us. And they remember what we did.

This year I'm doing October, which is where you try your best to survive October without losing your fucking mind.

Two or three years ago you did everything you needed to perfectly well without AI. The fact you think you *need* it now shows how thoroughly brainwashed you've become by billionaires intent on turning your brain to slurry.

Alan Baxter @alanbaxter.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Incredible achievement. Here's to 20 more!

Alan Baxter @alanbaxter.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Love that cover.

Really enjoyed your Talking Scared chat, by the way!

Fucking barbaric. The irony that this is supposedly the consequence of violent murder. Society and the system has failed this woman her entire life.

We're living through an age where daily evidence makes it increasingly undeniable that a massive proportion of people are straight-up fucking idiots.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

Awwww, staahhhhp, you're embarrassing me.

This eldritch-ass tree. My gardener wife tells me it's a condition called fasciation caused by any number of various cellular trauma. I think it's elder gods breathing on the thing when it was a sapling.

A tree compressed and mutated in a truly disturbing way.

Frats once served a purpose (I think?). It seems like nowadays they're just drunk rape dens and if colleges are serious about education they should probably abolish them or change how they're allowed to operate. Like maybe 20 dudes basically in their teens in one house is a bad idea?

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

For the record, thus is from TikTok. The same video sometimes does better as an Instagram reel or YouTube short, but not always.
