102: Batman Revolution a fun sequel that takes Tim Burton’s Batworld and imagines what his 1989 version would have done with characters like The Riddler and Killer Moth. A must read for Batman fans and great sequel to Batman Resurrection. #booksky @farawaypress.com

101st: Helen of Nowhere an experimental novella that reads like a closet play with use of acts instead of chapters. It is an introspective character book that focuses on love, identity, and nature marked by a surreal ending. @thebookerprizes.com #booksky

It’s particularly cruel to do this to Garbo, who protected her privacy and peace but it’s not surprising she was chosen. After all, she told the world “no” and AI pushers love to run roughshod over consenf www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. That’s the amount of heat the oceans absorbed in 2025. A number so huge it’s almost meaningless…until you realise it’s roughly 40× humanity’s annual energy use. The ocean is buying us time. We’re running out of it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
