Yep Hadley Freeman reprinted this lie in her Guardian column, and refused to apologise for it.

The Graun printed the most graceless retraction possible, never retweeted it or apologised z

The other day I saw a tiktok from someone who said their wife died by suicide but they said she self exited and I just cannot. We gotta fix this shit. Fix these fucking censorious apps. I cannot hear people describe immeasurable pain and loss using these terms.

And if you haven't read Lolita, it's a brilliant, horrific book that I genuinely think Rowling hasn't read and has only seen Kubrick's movie adaptation.

The deleted post was about how Breaking Bad was bad because misguided people thought Walter was cool.

Judging art by how it is misinterpreted is misguided. By that measure, Lolita is a failure because JK Rowling found it romantic.

200 different gay fuckin nerds: Okay but you know we cancelled Adam Baldwin right you know we fucking HATE Joss Whedon right??? We cancelled them 20 years ago and we'll do it again if we have to!

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

When I read about one of the proposed stories for season 2, where Inara gets kidnapped by the Reavers, I was glad it was cancelled before its time.

I swear if we get Fillion doing a cutesy door knock for the fucking nazi or the sex pest you'll be able to hear his good will detonate from orbit.

Is it a shame Firefly only got one excellent season? Sure. But it then got a feature film which tied everything up in a rewarding bow and it’s kinda frustrating how some have spent 20 years thinking it was a failed Season 2 pitch and not one of the all-time great cathartic series finales.

I loved Firefly. We don't need more Firefly. Let's make new stuff to like instead.

In the 90s Europe put a levy on CD-Rs which was paid to the recording industry because they might be used to copy music.

AI companies should be made to pay in a similar way.

Music streaming is <8% of revenue.
Library lending ~2%.
Public art resale <4%
Etc

It's World Book Day and if you fancy helping an independent cooperative bookshop during a tricky month, this is great timing...

Thank God for the House of Lords, standing up for the people against the elected representatives of the people.

The directors who should have X-Men projects (Coogler, Wachowski) are the very directors who will never get them because they have too many successes racked up to be controllable.

Strongly recommend this - Nick is doing some really fun and interesting stuff.

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

This isn’t even counting their ties to the current U.S. regime, the dismantling of the Department of Education, the destruction of public health, & all the government grifting.

Many are so corrupt that they aren’t in the Epstein files because they were running a competing trafficking organization.

WWE has conducted some of the most heinous actions ever committed by an organization that isn’t considered a criminal empire.

The quality of their storytelling is irrelevant because they are morally bankrupt & should have been dismantled decades ago.

share holder and get a say in how the shop is run. also get a cool 10% off all new books you buy.

*order a personnel shopper. why not treat a friend, family or yourself?

*donate to our Patreon. a small donation could get us over the line and pay that bill.

hello there!

sometimes it just takes a couple of lean weeks and you can find yourself with your back to the wall scrabbling to raise money to pay a bill.

we have the rent to pay and could do with your help so we can pay it. things are looking up at the shop but February is always a tricky month
