Who's up for some 2011 queer power anthems? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV1F...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

i often think about this review

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Astonishing photo

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

Here is a photo of me looking relaxed and happy with my book (I do have CT tape on my wrist because of all the typing)

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

YES! Achievement unlocked 💅 Have been waiting to receive a review which would become my favourite for NO ONE IS SAFE, and it finally arrived:

thank you for explaining, Captain Obvious 😐

This is a really lovely read 🌞 For my partner and I and our 4 adult sons, it's travel that brings us together - meeting together in new places, enjoying different food at family dinner, playing cards on a hotel balcony, walking down cobbled streets as a group. www.theguardian.com/travel/2026/...

In 1979, Talking Heads released "I Zimbra" as the second single from their album Fear of Music. The lyrics - a type of non-semantic sound poem - are based on the poem "Gadji beri bimba" by German Dadaist Hugo Ball. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKFn...

Hi does everyone know there’s a real Kermit the Frog and it looks like this, this is 1000% real, it’s called Hyalinobatrachium dianae and once again IT IS REAL this is a real picture

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

Well worth a read 👇

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

You don’t understand. Cryptocurrency is the future. All it will take is everyone agreeing to this and if that doesn’t happen? Okay hold on

Australia is like that kid at school who gets bullied but is still a fawning sycophant with the bullies, therefore participating in their own subjugation

They've been trying to get me to watch Traitors for weeks and I dunno how to explain again that if your reality show does not focus on people falling into large bodies of water, I am not interested

"Trump... has shifted into the same logic as a jealous wife-beater, threatening to destroy the object of his obsession rather than allow her to leave. That’s the end game of the right’s cultural resentment. They can’t create, so instead they destroy." www.salon.com/2026/02/04/k...

Right. Two large project a month or so from completion. Time for me to hit the pavement looking for gigs. If you are, know of a publisher/ producer that could use the sort of work I do, or might be open to projects along my lines, please do say or spread the word. Let's Enchant. thomassbrown.com

Oh noooooo I remembered again that I should tell people that I write books

NYT article about "The Billionaire Pervert Advantage: why modern economies require a class of unpunishable sex predators" dropping in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
