This is the part that is so incomprehensible. Palestine protestors get bashed for blocking the port, racist tractor drivers get the kid gloves. Apparently, worldwide, it's fine to protest if your intention is vile, and otherwise, it's batons and jail for you.

the intro to Batman: The Animated Series is one of the single best bits of storytelling ever done in any medium, an absolute masterpiece of character and atmospheric development achieved in a single minute with no dialogue

“It came with the wind through the silence of the night, a long, deep mutter, then a rising howl, and then the sad moan in which it died away. Again and again it sounded, the whole air throbbing with it, strident, wild and menacing.” ✍️Arthur Conan Doyle, The Hound of the Baskervilles #BookWormSat

Pondering pen names today. I've adopted John Steele as a main to separate my fiction from my day job writing, and I'm wondering if it's best to riff on ONE name as I genre-hop or if it's fine to use completely different ones. I appreciate this will be publisher led, ultimately, but I'm curious.
If you're ever looking for a fun show that flew under the radar a bit I highly recommend Wynonna Earp. Modern day fantasy western, great fun, great characters (some drawn from real history), and a starring role for Melanie Scrofano - bonus fun if you're a Letterkenny fan that's all I know...

I'm sure @garethlpowell.bsky.social wouldn't mind if folk gave it a go.
J Steele@jsavagesteele.bsky.social · 4d agoThis is my current Audible read and already happy to recommend - not a technical guide, more like a chilled but well structured talk from author Gareth L Powell. It's not QUITE like he's chatting to you over a drink but if you squint your brain a bit it's not far off. Try it! I doubt he'd mind.
This cutting of all the Scottish health boards to just two might save money, but a couple of words might serve as a warning. Police Scotland!
Today's Scottish Programme for Government is shamefully lacking in transformative climate action.🌍 As the Met Office declared it the hottest UK summer on record, First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social repeated his demands for lower taxes on oil companies.

Ten years ago, ‘You Took the Last Bus Home’ was published. It was my first collection of poetry and incredibly, it’s still going strong. To celebrate the anniversary, I thought I’d share a poem from it every day this month, starting with the title poem.

An excellent way to help people cope with the never ending rise in food prices would be to relaunch the British Restaurants last seen in 1947. Just charge £2 for a meal with some meat, lots of green veg, some bread or potato, a pint of gravy, and a cup of tea.
The zebra mice are on an international foreign exchange programme going to school with the school mice for a few weeks. They are a little nervous but hoping to learn a lot about different sorts of British cake. (They’ll be in the new collection Saturday 5th Sept)
*sigh* An "AI" does not "escape containment", as breathless news articles claim. It is *told to do something by its programmers*, then it *goes and does what it's been told*, then the corporation it belongs to releases a statement to drive fear-based engagement and media laps up the lie.
NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.
In the tolling bell I hear a thousand dooms. Not just a new death, but all those parish deaths it has marked before. When we talk of living traditions, we do not think enough of the mortality implied in the phrase. We build and live atop ghost soil. - #DAKilroy, 1982
Y'all. I know you're tired of my running on about this, and I *want* to give you a break over the weekend, but I CAN'T fail these cats. They need a HOME. They're affectionate, relaxed and in decent health, and their issues are MINOR and EASILY MANAGEABLE. All we need is to find That Person.

The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance
