Currently reading. Absolutely all of the chatter I've seen about this is people furious that the series still isn't finished, which seems to be the norm for fantasy tbh. 📚💙

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

I have finished all of these books and am no nearer to working out what the Beach Boys' deal is. May do a thread with some thoughts. 💙📚

one of the most incomprehensible to me things that a lot of people appear to believe about pop culture is that a bad movie can be made good if its supplementary material is good, or that it is somehow OK to make a movie that demands you to watch hours of other material to make sense

The 60th Anniversary felt like an unburdening of the show's past: the exhausted Doctor of yesterday taking his history and retiring to a never-ending garden party, the Doctor of tomorrow emerging light as a feather, rising to face new adventures. Instead, the burden grew larger than ever before.

What a strange, cynical, rushed, odd, formulaic, bizarre era of Doctor Who this has been. Never before has an opportunity been so thoroughly squandered.

Six and a bit months on and I've just finished both sequels: Red Seas Under Red Skies and The Republic of Thieves. Clapping when you finish a book is almost as strange as clapping when a plane lands but it feels appropriate in this case. 💙📚 Patiently waiting for whatever the hell happens next.

Having my book stolen by Meta to train their large language models doesn't feel great. But it does present me with another opportunity to declare how much, and how vehemently, I hate everything that Big AI's snake-oil peddling hypemen stand for.

I hate that writers and artists must suffer the indignity of being pickpocketed by the richest men who’ve ever lived.
