If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
Thank you so much!

A pile of the book on a bookshop table. The cover vibrant deep red with a tudor rose, a crown, and two dragons. You can see the sprayed edge spredges showing further Tudor roses
Ipswich has been loving this unique reimagining of the Tudor queens: we sold out of Six Wild Crowns by @hollyrace.bsky.social by the end of publication day yesterday!
Magic, courtly politics, dragons, sapphic romance, spies & amazing protagonists.. + it's beautiful too.

OpenAl says it needs 'more capital than we'd imagined' as it lays out for-profit plan
Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me

What's everyone reading this weekend? I've nabbed a copy of @hollyrace.bsky.social's new fantasy on Netgalley - a feminist reimagining of Henry VIII's queens. I've been rewatching Wolf Hall so this will be a nice counterpoint!
Oh crikey, don’t put me up against Dame Hilary! 😅😅😅
Hi Courtney! Could I possibly be added to your 2025 debuts starter pack?
Ahh amazing, thank you!
