It's traditional that half of Jeremy Corbyn's party hates him.

@steampowered.com UK gamer here Stephanie wants to sign up. He is 18. You will only accept him as a customer if he gives you credit card details. He does not have a credit card, he does not want one. You need alternative age verification techniques. No one size fits all.

#UKSFFBookBargains Couple of things in the Daily Deal. The Twelve by Justin Cronin. I read the previous volume, The Passage about ten years ago and enjoyed it a lot. Not quite enough to pay full price though www.amazon.co.uk/Twelve-Passa... Also on Kobo www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

@jessnevins.bsky.social looks like a book you probably have on your shelf, but just in case.

Yes, I’m expecting elected government officials to operate to higher moral standards than lone gunmen! Is that too much to ask?

In honor of @scalzi.com's visit to our warehouse today, our fabulous production editor did a little photo shoot with two of her pet mice, Ivy and Nettle. We feel it's only right to give away a signed copy of WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE. Follow and reshares to enter! Int'l, ends 9-14 at noon ET!

@jessnevins.bsky.social catching up. JLT the Amazing Man episode. You make a strong case for it being very influential while completely forgotten. Though isn't The Shadow an earlier source for 'Westerner returns for the East with strange powers'? Ok, not comics, but the trope.

@icooper.bsky.social Hi Ian Any idea if there are plans to republish the old HQ Glorathan material with the new logo added in? While I understand the logic, I am a touch annoyed to realise I only printed some of my DTRPG purchases off, and can't even get copies from my library any more.

@eightdaysofdiana.bsky.social I am not sure if this has been covered, since I'm attempting to fit rereads in before finding out what you think of books. Where does DWJ start the "and it turns out the McGuffin has been in the book throughout" thing? It's in HMC of course, but is that the origin?

#UKSFFBookBargains Odyssey by Stephen Fry, which is fantasy by most reasonable definitions. www.amazon.co.uk/Odyssey-Step...

I am so shocked. Terf specks up for Terf. Whoc ould have seen that coming. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Look at this response from Polanski to Sophie Ridge's attempted gotcha on flags To *finally* have a mainstream political voice standing up for racialised & minoritised communities being intimidated by the violent fash on our streets It's really not that hard, is it?

OK, Kobo has updated for the start of the new month, so a bit more #UKSFFBookBargains. Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/... Looks interesting, but I know little about it. If you missed it, the Amazon list is here: bsky.app/profile/nick...

Another new month? Where do they come from? New #UKSFFBookBargains Thread. NB: Amazon only. Kobo will follow, but they don't update straight away. Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. I know people like them. Not my taste. www.amazon.co.uk/Iron-Gold-ex...

Is there anyone in #Austin who would be interested tickets to the Kill Bill 1&2 tonight at 7pm? I bought them a month ago and can't use them, if anyone is interested, ping me.

There's a Tyrant Philosophers novel, and I think a boneless coming from @aptshadow.bsky.social and a novel from MR Carey, Outlaw Planet. I know nothing about it, save that I've enjoyed almost everything else he's written.

There are two new Circles of Hell, for replies to legal and political commentary. The first for: “so what? It will make no difference”. The second for “are you surprised?” For added everlasting torture and torment, these two new Circles will be located in Solihull.

Feeling the urge to pack a red Sharpie and write RNLI into the quadrants of any St George flags I see left on lampposts.

A word of advice, from someone who has just been dealing with all this. If you go on holiday for a couple of weeks, NEVER leave the carcass of a roast chicken in the oven while you're away. Unless, of course, you like the smell of rotting death and maggots are some of your favourite creatures.

Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy's to the title: The Origin of Tom Clancy's Species.

Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy's to the title: Memoirs of Tom Clancy's Geisha.

One of my pet bugbears is wikipedia articles saying things like "In a recent interview.." without making the date of the interview obvious. I just found one where the interview was from 1979. A new record. A mere 22 years from before wikipedia existed.

I had a t-shirt. It had the words “Become Ungovernable” printed in big bold letters on the front. Unfortunately, the only ones who took that message to heart were the oil companies.

@yplac.bsky.social A fine example of BMW parking entitlement.

Another day, another #UKSFFBookBargains, another Ncuti Gatwa era #DoctorWho book by a writer I know nothing about. 99p. Could be worth a punt. www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-S...

www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... - Martha Wells bundle, benefitting World Central Kitchen.

#UKSFFBookBargains A Doctor Who novel I have not read, by an author I have not heard of. Could be great, could be awful. Does have the Gatwa Doctor, who is a delight, at least on TV. www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-F...
