Very exciting news. Can confirm James Cameron is not only a brilliant director and very nice man but he has very good taste in books!

Step away for a bit if you can. It is incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

Don't forget to register your objection to Meta using your posts to train their AI. Too late for my and everyone else's books however...

This is really good. The piece on Saruman is a wildly dissembling bit of corporate PR but huge fun. The piece on Tyrion? Is just and true.

Happy UK release day to THE DEVILS! I interviewed @joeabercrombie.com about creating this raucous grimdark fantasy about a group of misfit monsters on a dangerous mission, how he designed its alternate-history world, wrote the distinctive voices of the Devils, his work on the sequel, and more:

Interview: Joe Abercrombie talks The Devils, grimdark fantasy humor, Best Served Cold and more
Sometimes holy work requires unholy deeds, a fact which the cast of misfits at the heart of Joe Abercrombie's new book The Devils knows all too well. Abercrombi

Yep £27K as a manager in 1998. This is so depressing. I saw that as a good salary then! It isn't now.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

One thing to consider is what education would look like if it were free with no grades and no punitive frameworks that make learning about fear.

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨 WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people. 4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic. Get 'em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com
4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel
