We're very sad to hear of the death of Peter May, he was a wonderful writer and a generous and gracious presence at the festival over the years. Here he is, at the most recent of six appearances in 2024 - Sending love to Janice and the rest of his family. He will be missed.

It's never "AI agent breaks containment, cures cancer, does a bit of tidying up and puts the kettle on", is it?

‘In an age of statue-toppling, it is jaw-dropping to see the words “Mussolini Dux” still carved into the 17.5-metre marble obelisk that fronts the sports complex of the Foro Italico in Rome.’ @danigaravelli.bsky.social on the cult of Mussolini. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Let’s hope they have a close female family member with endometriosis and can solve that.

Glasgow suddenly had a far right march and everyone here was in shock and then the Daily Record investigated who was there and surprising no one it was mostly UVF (et al) members from here and Belfast who hadn’t aleady died of heart failure or blowing themselves up.

So similar to UK music awards who got rid of the seperate female and male categories, and you’ll never guess what happened next?

This is not an agressive question. I was wondering about it at the time but I saw a load of outraged men who never take any interest in women’s issues ever being outraged and decided not to ask.

the modern banking service really is the prime example of enshitifaction. Am beginning to understand why so many right wing Americans lost money to bitcoin as they didn’t trust banks.

“The British, it seems, just do not do ideology. And if things do get a bit wobbly, there is always the comforting thought that they are worse elsewhere.” A quote from my book Fantastic Kingdom about the surprisingly widespread assumption in the UK that British politics are immune to extremism.

The real question to ask ‘is your right wing Govt failing you economically again as well as taking your civil rights away and using these distant islands that don’t want to be part of your country as a distraction?’

I got fascinated this year* by the Heated Rivalry fandom and it’s utterly deranged the influence people on social media think they have over the public and /or TV writers and actors. *I know, turned out I had fatigue but also it was gobsmacking and I don’t watch ‘Houswives of’

France Culture radio is currently broadcasting a programme titled ‘Is the end of a book always a failure?’ My French comprehension isn’t good enough to take questions on the content. I can tell you the opener is about Proust and reading the end of his books.
