Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Tonight's full moon begs the question... Do wolves howl at the moon? 🌕🐺 It turns out scientists have found no correlation between wolves and the full moon, except perhaps an increase in overall activity on brighter nights. So, what exactly do wolves howl at? Learn more: ow.ly/EMAx50ZRzfO

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

There should be alarm bells ringing at full tilt in Westminster when it comes to the coordinated intimidation campaign we saw over the weekend. What we got instead is a toothless statement that the government “condemns.” Not nearly good enough, I’m sorry.

Of course, when one is selling ebooks direct, one needs to permit sampling to minimise returns and similar issues. Of course, there's no software to do that... Be right back after designing, creating, and formatting another 89 book files and 44 revised covers, then. 🤪🤬😆 #authorlife #author

Binding Season by Julian M. Miles

It’s said that working with ropes, not words, is the craft which truly enables a civilisation. It’s also said that the one who first taught that craft was punished by God, but there are apocrypha that...

The trick is using two rings: one solid, one broken. Although for advanced autonomous systems you might need a ring of traffic cones. 😁

Picture of a self-driving vehicle being logic errored into immobility by two circles of salt. Thus is because the solid line is interpreted as a stop command and the broken line is interpreted as a go command.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

Most people don't dream of being fancy-rich.
I dream of being rich enough to say, "Treat's on me," without thinking twice. Rich enough to have a home that feels like a hug, a fridge stocked like a five-year-old with adult money, and a tray of chocolates waiting for someone to grab. Rich enough to quietly help a friend before they even have to ask. To send a care package when someone's too tired to reach out. To buy all the pencils from a kid on the street so they can go home early. For me, the real money dream isn't about luxury - it's about having enough to give, enough to comfort, enough to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

I love those moments when I 'righteously' reply after completely misinterpreting a post. But I love the 'delete reply' option more. 😁 Always remember to check thrice before posting: first for spelling, second for relevance, third for about-to-be-an-asshole. 😆

You might be wondering how you can support an author when you're short of time, money, energy, etc. But honestly, making your own post about a book helps us! The more people who are talking about a book? Well, that's how buzz begins. You can do that on whatever sites you use.
