A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

I’m absolutely thrilled that THE ART OF A LIE has been shortlisted for the Historical Writers’ Association Gold Crown. This is my favourite of all my books and it means the world. Thanks to the judges and congrats to my fellow authors on the list 💚

I'm having a week off between books, and playing a computer game. And depending on various decisions with a political dimension that you make during the game, it allocates you a political identity. And mine is 'most laughable centrist ever'. Man.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

Archer’s Goon by Diana Wynne Jones. Just need to expand each world. Each of the seven a different episode. Ok not ten, but you could probably do that too. And you could probably make Charmed Life work as well.

Very late to this, as I've been immersed in edits, but @sarahpinborough.bsky.social's latest one is an absolute corker. If you love a twisty, dark suspense, you won't go wrong with this one!

They were a mix of races; south Asian, Arabic, black, white. They were all so happy, so excited, and every single one of them was as English as me with my Kent/Essex upbringing and Anglo Saxon surname. Being English, or British, isn't about race, parentage, or immigration status, it's an identity.

realizing i never posted it here….but too long have we been limited by the 2-dimensional political alignment chart. i think by using my new tool we can truly map another person's politics. here it is: The Ideology Cube

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

I've said versions of this before but social media is meant to be fun, WAS fun for some years, and we hit problems when people started to believe it was a viable way of conducting debate.

unsure if it's a me problem, a you problem or a little bit of both but christ Bluesky is feeling dour these days, every time I open the app I have to ready myself for 75 Very Serious Debates About Serious Issues, whatever happened to getting jiggy with it, don't make me spend more time on Instagram
