The value of a second legislative chamber demonstrated. Repost widely so the UK gov can’t ignore it.

After Whiskey Pete threw a tantrum yesterday and then Karoline Leavitt attacked Kaitlan Collins because the media reported on the people Trump got killed in Kuwait, note that MOST outlets are not prominently covering IDs of fifth and sixth KIA, as Reuters did.

I am not big on AI anyway, but I am sure as fuck am never going to use Claude for anything now. Anthropic is a murderous company whose products kill children.

Thomas was raised by books in much the same way that Tarzan was raised by apes but with much less dramatic results. He got his first professional illustration gig when he was thirteen and has been working in the field since then. (Taking time out for meals and such.)

And, for World Book Day, an illustrator in love with books.
really. A lot.

The Impossible Times ebooks are on discount in the UK/US/Aus all month.

I'm very fond of these books (which are not YA). They're set in 80s London (my formative years and place) and have some very loose tie in with my other books.

They're relatively short - give 'em a shot!

Beck: So, George, what’s your take on Iran?
Washington: Where?
Beck: It’s what we call Persia these days.
Washington: Where the carpets come from?
Beck: Well, they’re better known for their oil now.
Washington: Must be a lot of whales there. Excuse me, one of my many slaves needs flogging…

A noir-toned background image of a rainy city skyscape, birds flying with a backdrop of smeared neon lights, with a detective standing on a rooftop in long coat and hat with one arm raised. Right-justified text on the image reads "open call for novellas, opens: 4.01.26, closes: 4.30.26." The Ruadán Books logo is centered above the text.

Keep not watching GB News guys... it's lost £131.5m to date but I'm sure it can do a lot worse than that.
