I just finished reading @danhanly.com ‘s unpublished book The Revered and the Reviled and omg it’s so good. Agents, you need to pay attention to this one when it comes your way! The setup and mirroring in it is skilful and the ending is so bittersweet 😭

Any Brummie of my generation will get a memory jolt when they look at the background of this picture. Can anyone help Mike with his query?

4pm today on BBC Radio 4 Extra it’s the repeat of my adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ The State of the Art, with Sir Antony Sher as the ship. So proud of this amazing production by @nadiamolinari.bsky.social

Blessing that the guy who's been whistling tunelessly for the last fifty minutes has decided to have a coffee. I can stop trying to follow the tune that exists only in his head but he's kindly decided to externalise.
Sorry, lore *master*. Possibly one cursed with a geas of truth sharing.

If it wins, I will STOMP and ATOMIC BREATH the parliament of YOUR CHOICE!*

I must stress, this is a campaign which has stopped the Government rushing through what tech lobbyists are asking for. We may or may not win, but sitting on our arses now makes one outcome more likely, doesn't it.
Are you secretly Gail Carriger? 🤨
British female track and field athletes are being asked to cover the cost of their own £185 sex tests if they want to compete internationally. Because curbing trans people's rights to participate in anything subjects everyone to intrusive scrutiny and here, hefty expense. This is not a 'them' issue.
