Eight. I’ve read eight. And one of them was one I hated while doing my A levels. What we really need here is a function for ‘how many have you started and got really bored with’ and another for ‘how many have you bought and never opened’ (about 60 on that one) www.theguardian.com/p/x4f9v5

Don’t all rush at once but I’ve just signed a load of books in Waterstones Liverpool.

An incredible night last night at @liverpoolempire.bsky.social for Aaron Sorkin’s magnificent adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ A stunning piece of theatre; intelligent, brave storytelling with fantastic performances and direction. An absolute must see, timely and important.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

An absolutely beautifully written review of a wonderful book (Full disclosure in the spirit of Karl’s full disclosure: he is writing about a book written by a mate; I am writing about a review written by a mate, of a book written by another mate)

Good points Well made. #UKelections www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is brilliant. And it’s not just the children; my eldest is 30, all he’s ever really known is ideologically inflicted austerity. We need a revolution in the Labour Party right now if this is ever going to change.

Labour losing votes to Greens, Tories to Reform. The left / right split remains. The big story is loss of faith in trad parties. It's an inevitable consequence of nearly 20 years of austerity. The economy doesn't work for most of us. GDP means nothing if 90% of growth goes to the richest 10%

It's a 10 on 10 recommend from me for this from @4hundredblows.bsky.social

I think the amount of people who fear expressing their culture is really frightening and shows how endemic the bigotry and zealotry around it is. If you're afraid to wear something that identifies you as palestinian, jewish, muslim then you're not free, you're just not

Sensible adults back in charge picking an ambassador: “If the obviously corrupt well-known close associate of an international child sex trafficking ring doesn’t work out, we’ll go for the architect of an economic policy which led to the indirect deaths of more than a quarter of a million people.”

I finished the book this morning, it’s stunning. You need to go to this

I don’t *have* to be writing at this very moment, though there are projects I could be working on. But. I’m 200 pages into this bloody magnificent book and I can’t put it down. It’s like zooming into the Zapruder film and focussing on the people on the pavements. It’s like a series of… (1/2)

Lovely stuff from yesterday- got my copy of @brucespringsteen.net’s live #recordstoreday album from @themusicalbox.bsky.social, got home and had @4hundredblows.bsky.social’s new book waiting for me. Can’t wait to dig into this - hell of a writer

God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son.” Abe said, “Man you must be putting me on.”

www.theguardian.com/football/202... So, tell me again how the ticket price rise is necessary because costs have risen and the extra £1.2m a season it generates is absolutely justified and necessary?

The Umbrella Man and Other Stories is released in exactly 2 weeks. Here's a selection of endorsements so far. Featuring @almurray.bsky.social, @robinince.bsky.social, @chrischibnall.bsky.social, @knoxharrington.bsky.social, @coldwarpod.bsky.social, @gauthamrao.bsky.social, @quantick.bsky.social

At every press conference Farage and Badenoch should be asked about the absolute hell that Brexit has imposed on every UK citizen, just for the crime of doing business with our closest neighbours, or going on holiday.

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Genius

That ‘proud dad’ moment. Our Tom is now a published author, in an American literary philosophy magazine no less. You don’t need a knowledge of Carver or Lovecraft to enjoy this, but if you do, you’ll find Easter eggs a plenty. I think it’s bloody magnificent www.bookxi.org/love-craft-s...

The crew of Artemis have just named two previously unnamed craters on the moon; ‘Integrity’, after their ship, and ‘Carroll’ after Reid Wiseman’s late wife. An absolutely beautiful moment, truly human and a privilege to witness. We’re a very small world, living in peace should be our only aim.

A magnificent review of a gig I’m still buzzing about

This turns into a hell of a thread

Not many come close.

I’d already ordered the book (having long lamented the absence of Ruth And Martin’s JFK club) but if I hadn’t, the clip here would make me (I take up some of the rest of the show but you don’t need to listen to that)

Karl is, as he is in so many things, completely correct on this. No questions.

@4hundredblows.bsky.social I’m sure you already know about this? (I thought I knew my Kirby but this is new to me)

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Long live LFC History. The greatest.

This matters- it's important not to let outright lies go unchallenged and uncorrected. I want this kind of public lying by a politician to be covered by Parliamentary Standards with swingeing great penalties, increasing with repetition.

First Andy now Mandy, I'mm not sure about this, I think it sets a dangerous presedence investigating what secret activities people in power get up to that they shouldn't, I mean where will it end?

Look, if we start arresting every prominent figure in Britain who's suspected of misconduct in public office it would wipe out half the governing class who run everything. So, it's definitely worth doing.

This is incredible. This is why the right always wants to control art.

The joys of being old: Star Wars (1977 -when it opened in England) Jaws 1975 Close Encounters Withnail and I Shawshank Redemption

I think we can say there’s definitely Noticing Things going on now, at the BBC. You might have got this stuff piecemeal here and there but now they’re just laying it out in blunt terms.

Just catching up on this important thread from George. Bookmarking!

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Perfect, in both its advice on writing and Fitzgerald’s description of the current issue with our world from his vantage point of a hundred years ago

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

It’s genuinely a great time to subscribe; the analysis of where the season is going has been excellent, Sunday’s review show was stunning

I’ve caught five minutes of the World Cup Draw. The most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened.

Completely this; the further in time we move be from George, the more obviously, almost effortlessly, brilliant his work becomes.
