I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I wish I knew who the artist was

It's a good thing that Starmer's government is keeping the country safe, wot? Honouring his solemn promise to bring change, wot?

Fantastic book review for 'Rousing the Duvelsbeest' lauraidaeja.substack.com/p/book-revie...

When @tomsbrown.bsky.social asked me what Professor Penning in Rousing the Duvelsbeest should look like, I sent him a bunch of pictures of Dr. Jane Goodall. Her character is different, but similar look and Tom captured her well, methinks. Sharing now as tribute.

RIP to Jane Goodall, who opened the world's eyes to our closest relatives. (Photo by NatGeo's Hugo Van Lawick)

TEN YEARS for settled status. Labour really do seem to have gone collectively insane. Just don’t play Farage’s game. Refuse. Try thinking about what you’re actually saying. And stop.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

I was hoping the settled status would offer me a bit of surety, but reckoned that sooner or later the Brits would start fiddling with it. Because xenophobia has been soooooo successful for the UK of late, innit?

You knowe how yn legendes someone doth fynde a cursed sworde that bringeth ruin upon them but thei do not cast it asyde by cause *part of the curse* ys that thei believe it ys a powirful magic sworde that ys helpinge ynstead of hurtinge? Anywaye, Gen AI...

Preliminary sketch by Eldad Druks for the short story 'Forsaken'. Based on the brilliant Elaine Evans exhibition at Brighton Museum, this story (woven around a poem by Jo B.) appeared in the 'Elements of Horror: Water' Anthology. 2b republished in "Brighton Folk: A Blast from the Past" next year.

I have a cunning plan.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain. The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services. That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Now who could gaze at this awesome picture of yours truly at the Fishermen's Museum in Hastings and not be convinced that I'm clearly very knowledgeable regarding the nautical matters I write about?

Come to Hastings and gimme all your money this Saturday. What better way to spend your weekend?

Centrists and Starmeroids devoted heaps of attention on the left-wing, kindly taking the time to deride them, scorn them, mock them, bully them out of the party, or just kick them out all together. And after all this effort, this is ALL the thanks they get? Who coulda seen that coming?

Visited Old St Helen's in Hastings last weekend in the esteemed company of C.J. Stone, former Guardian columnist (Housing Benefit Hill) and proper author.

Florida schools are banning dicktonairys coz of inproprate kontent. Bout time, diktanoaries are oferratted, doesnt u fink so two?

As innocent fisherman, I only have limited means of persuasion at my disposal.

Doesn't allow replies, possibly because dissent bain't allowed by centrists? Anyhow, or 'well, actually', this is extreme baloney in a week which has seen unprecedented migrant bashing from Labour's Rabid Right government, and continued silence on the flagshagging by Starmer.

The "master strategist" dancing to Farage's tune.

Golly, I wish that instead of a rabid right xenophobic government we could have something normal, like a Labour govern....oh, wait. We do. www.joe.co.uk/news/migrant...

It's alive!! Get your fresh, hot goblins here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fni...

Visiting the Andalucia today. Dunno whether I ought to lower that red and gold flag to replace it with the Dutch tricolour and proclaim the ship taken, or just sink her out of principle. Remember 1572!

The Andalucia is on her way to Shoreham-on-Sea (nr Brighton)! Guess what I'll be doing later this week.

In the bookshop this morning: PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.” CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down * CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Another golly-gosh will ya look at what Tom Brown can do moment.

'Rousing the Duvelsbeest' is out as E-book now in most available formats. It should be far easier to find than locating the Isle of Arenes itself, where this story of mutiny, murder, and mayhem is set.

Posting about gen-AI is really useful because it brings out all the apologists which makes them easy to block.

a thing that drives me totally cuckoo bananas bonkers is these center-right motherfuckers go around NEEDING everyone to think they are "the left." they're only doing this to present their viewpoints as the leftmost acceptable position and i cant believe so many people fall for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another wee celebration of Tom Brown's amazing talents. Here are his interpretations of the 21st century protagonist of 'Rousing the Duvelsbeest', Lette Sabajo, sent to Australia by the to help the Aussies investigate a newly discovered shipwreck on the island of Arenes.

Starmtroopers, ever eager to burrow their tongue in the wet rag's arse, will, of course, explain how the scaredy-cat approach is actually evidence of a master tactician. And if things go wrong? Why, Hard Labour will do what it always does, blame the left.

A wee celebration of Tom Brown's amazing talents. Here are his interpretations of the 17th century protagonist of 'Rousing the Duvelsbeest', Leyn Jonas, a ship's boy rapidly learning to become a survival specialist.

Good morning wulferhampton have a magnificent Monday you manic monsters
