Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

The vintage #movie odyssey continues! The Spy In Black is an early Powell & Pressburger collaboration and is simply wonderful. Set on Orkney in WWI it concerns a German plot to sabotage the British navy and springs more twists and turns on you than a twisty turny thing. youtu.be/IFLJRWi1fuk?...

When a publisher embraces a product that will destroy the people who *create* the work the publisher puts out then it is time to abandon that publisher. This is vampirism, and not the cool kind.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!
