More Red Bull racing, magic, lies and gossip #F1 theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/total-bull...

Here, meanwhile, is the latest slice of #Dubai life featuring novelist Jamie McThackeray, and his enormous meaty portion. #burgers #fiction #writing theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/everything...

We had a froggie in the bathroom this morning. Can any of my readers beat THAT?

Funny thing. I'm a huge fan of Bob Mortimer. Started reading one of his novels. Took me approximately two pages to establish -to my satisfaction- that Bob Mortimer didn't write a bloody word of it.

What's coming to the Flaneur over the next week? #Cheeseburgers, #duvets, #FormulaOne #F1 and the start of a new adventure for Winterhill. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

Decoding the semiotic thickness of the American mustache. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/little-won...

"A singular novel" which is suspiciously reminiscent of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke... www.shelf-awareness.com/max-issue.ht...

A whirlwind tour of Bur Dubai, and a superhero rom-com. #dubai #writing theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/everything...

Thirteen novels (and counting) publishing in weekly chapters. Several free monthly columns, music reviews, articles and surreal adverts too. Why not try reading theflaneurmagazine.substack.com? #books #writing #literature #fiction

Swear her in.

Anyway. We've arrived in New Orleans and Mrs. Flaneur has enjoyed oysters, and schooling me about them. Also, we have milk.

This made me laugh. Super-commuters. People who travel MORE THAN 1 1/2 HOURS EACH WAY. I used to spend six hours a day on trains between Canterbury and Brentford. news.sky.com/story/people...

If @dcerik.bsky.social is right, and the time to rise has been engaged, I guess I'll have to throw Thoreau and rearrange?

Listen to this and you’ll have an awful October :) Btw what sort of chain letter curse BS is this meme?? overcast.fm/+ABQ18FWCYZQ

You say “War Ravaged Portland” but all I see is a long haired dude named Brendan who’s a plummer by day and a go-go dancer by night

Red Bull ponder their driver line-up for 2026 and beyond... #F1 theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/total-bull...

overcast.fm/+AAeiDtl0w5s... An enjoyable return from @aotas.bsky.social - and Andy Moore surpasses himself in his audio feedback to the show. Utterly brilliant.

@authorvcwillow.bsky.social Are you aware of this? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

You can take the complete works of any writer with you to a desert island, to keep you sane and occupied for the rest of your life. Who are you picking? #writing #booksky

Does anyone know the best bookshops in New Orleans? #booksky

Now: can anyone recommend me some #bookshops to visit in #NewOrleans?

More batshit far-right paranoid and hilarious nonsense from our Republican correspondent Dick Lickspittle. No paywall, because he and his opinions are basically deranged. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/dick-licks...

Surely there are none amongst you who would choose to ignore a funny biography of a cute little cat? For shame. No paywall. Harvey would only sue me. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/little-won...

About time too. www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/t...

I question the final line of this piece. In 2025, when most book-buyers just want to read dystopias, with sexy dragons, for children, can we really predict a "significant" uptick in sales for any of these Booker finalists? www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Today in Winterhill: bloody great cyborg tarantulas from space! Science Fiction has never had so many legs... theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/winterhill...

I have discovered a new medical condition. "Hostile Day Syndrome", where every last inanimate thing conspires to raise your blood pressure and arrest your cardia. I am now at home in bed and will not leave it again until the sun rises on a more civilized and well-behaved day. That is all.

@rincewind.run I've just re-read Sourcery for probably the fifth time since 1988. I *still* don't get the 'geas' joke. Any ideas?

If you like to read fiction slowly, and take life at a slow, thoughtful saunter, then you're one of us. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

This week in Everything's Fine, Jamie gets to do what he does best... theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/everything...

Just for a change, there's no new content published today, but tomorrow's chapter of Everything's Fine is positively tumescent with naughty bits. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

In today's episode of Winterhill we meet an idiot and go to a party. #sciencefiction #writing theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/winterhill...

I had to stop listening to today's @newsagents.bsky.social because the vox-pops from the Tommy Robinson rally in central London last weekend left me feeling sick and depressed and ashamed.

More Total Bull for you. Includes motor-racing, sorcery, rage and mild incompetence. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/total-bull...

In today's chapter of Everything's Fine, Jamie's past comes back to haunt him. Sadly, it's a piece of his past that he just can't remember for the life of him. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/everything...

Melissa Hartman, her husband & their dog gave their lives for America. Kirk made millions tearing it apart. Media will echo him, not them. Honor Hartman. Honor every child lost to guns Kirk swore to protect. #GunViolence #HonorVictims

Here's Juan-Pablo Martinez on his experience seeing #Pulp at @theanthemdc.bsky.social in #WashingtonDC last week. #music theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/festival-w...

Such breathtaking originality.

Beginning today, a new four-part science fiction adventure involving REALLY SCARY MONSTERS. #writing #sciencefiction theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/winterhill...

Coming up this week: a new sci-fi adventure begins in Winterhill, Jamie has an awkward encounter in Everything's Fine, and there's new music writing starring Pulp and @suedehq.bsky.social theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

Wine gums an appreciation: theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/the-little...

I don't see why Angela Rayner couldn't just agree to pay the difference and carry on. Whatever you think of her, she pales into insignificance before the corrupt, gravy-chinned grifting of everyone in the last government.

Beginning today: Everything's Fine. An ongoing tale of mental health and creative blockage. And sex. Obvs. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

Nadine Dorries is a gift who keeps on giving.

Today @newsagents.bsky.social asked the question "why has Nigel Farage gone to America to slag off Britain?" It is because he is an arsehole.

My 2 cents on #mentalhealth + #anxiety: we spend too much energy agonizing over every little decision because others put too much significance on making the "right" choice. Objectively, almost every decision I've ever made was the wrong one. I've ended up living my best life anyway. Go figure. ❤️

What's in store in The Flaneur in September? theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/flaneurdit...

Presenting the fourth and final part of our #blur retrospective. And... it looks like we might've made it to the the end. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/festival-b...

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
