Looking forward to seeing fellow writers and readers tomorrow for the launch of How Do People Stay the Same. I believe there’s room for a few more so please come along:

I think people should cut them some slack. It takes a while to change out of your balaclava and hoodie and then back into uniform.

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Punched and Kik-ed its way through my front door earlier. Darkly funny, wonderfully unsettling stories (and fabulously illustrated too.) Well, what else would you expect from @kiklodge.bsky.social? Get your hot copy from @stanchion.bsky.social !

Happy publication day to @kiklodge.bsky.social!! "Enter a world of desperately funny, offbeat & often emotionally isolated characters, like a woman with a penchant for BDSM having a heart-to-heart with Maria Von Trapp in the waiting room at the gynaecologist's office" - @megpokrass.bsky.social

Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.

On learning that our daughter’s new history teacher is called Mr Morgan, my German wife commented, ‘Wouldn’t ‘Mr Gestern’ have been a better name?’ #oneforthelinguists

Letter in Times today

Text:

Old adversaries
Sir, Your obituary (Jan 19) of Mr Justice Blofeld rightly referred to his fine sense of humour. When he first sat in Winchester a barrister called Richard Bond stood up to open the first case. Mr Justice Blofeld began to stroke the white ermine on the sleeve of his High Court judge’s robes as if stroking a cat. He then said with a smile: “We meet at last, Mr Bond.”
Sir John Royce

in the plus side, watching the president of the United States destroy the entire geopolitical order because he didn't get a shiny award has successfully cured all my hangups about subtle character motivation in writing

With two detectives named ‘Frank’ and ‘Bascombe’, I’m guessing Jack Thorne - the writer of the brilliant ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix - is (like me) a big Richard Ford fan.
