It really has to be the Clangers bookmark for this one.

A copy of Carlo Rovelli’s book ‘Seven Brief Lessons on Physics’ with a bookmark featuring characters from the TV programme ‘The Clangers’.

Northumberland serendipity. On a wave washed platform there are many scattered pebbles. For me there would be no joy at all in finding one and placing it. However there is huge pleasure in finding a pebble that already sits well where it has stopped. #capturewithconfidence #kingjoy #nikon

People are always trying to entice introverts out of their comfort zone and "let their hair down" a little. Why doesn't anyone ever ask extroverts to calm down and shut the fuck up for a few minutes?

Absolutely fascinating to think that every single one of us is descended from either Fred & Wilma Flinstone or Barney & Betty Rubble.

Jamie and I like to do those stupid quickfire social media quizzes when we’re in bed of an evening if they appear on one of our phones when we’re scrolling ANYWAY: Question: the lower part of the jaw is called the mandible, what is the upper part called? Jamie: THE WOMANDIBLE THE WOMANDIBLE!! Me:

The Arts and Crafts Movement was a 19th century reaction to the damaging effect of machine-dominated production on both social conditions & the quality of manufactured goods. We need a 21st century version of the movement to counter the effects of AI generated products and 'art'

I am utterly convinced that the audience response to Sweet Caroline these days is directly related to voting Reform.

Expected to see Andy Burnham turn up at Buckingham Palace in a ten-year-old Ford Galaxy, giving two teenage kids a lift, and also drop off a Vaxx Wet-and-Clean hoover for a mate who's doing their stairs.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Sometimes when one writer ponders another you get gold; what they notice, what they wonder about, multiplies instead of diminishing their subject. So, readers of Muriel Spark, I strongly recommend you grab a copy of this by @drjamesbailey.bsky.social because it’s One of Those. 💙📚

The cover of Like a Cat Loves a Bird by James Bailey, his study of the character and writing of Muriel Spark.

It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

Addendum to a thread with which I wholly concur: people who think art is only about power are invariably shit at art, and only intermittently effective at power.

One of the reasons I love ‘Metropolitan’ by @whitstillman.bsky.social is it’s like catching up on what Edith Wharton’s New York families are doing a century later. Always wondered.

Should we ban the over 65s from social media? The government are considering banning the elderly from social media as their brains haven't properly developed. But is a ban a step too far?
