It began as a low #murmur, the rumble of a distant storm. Easy to ignore while the king delivered his rousing speech. It grew in volume, like an oncoming train. By the time the court realised the danger, a tidal wave of anger and hatred was poised to sweep them away as if they were dust. #vss365

Watched Oppenheimer last night. It was very well-acted, and the ending was tense and gripping, but I spent the first half confused about who was who and which timeline we were in. Overall, it didn't gel with me in the way it seems to have done for many others. Three and a half stars. #oppenheimer

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women…” - says guy who happily took the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a woman

I almost missed it amid the #dapple of sunlight and fallen leaves: a shimmering gateway. The world on the other side could be anything. A vast, bountiful forest. An endless ocean with no land. Scorching fire and acid rain. No matter. It had to be better than this place. I stepped through. #vss365

It's genuinely confusing why, over and over again, organizations that cater to, or are dependent upon, artists writers and creators decide to absolutely fucking enrage their constituency with "AI," only to be required to backtrack after considerable loss of goodwill

Today I get to unveil the UK cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! The art is by the legendary Stephen Player, who has done art for Barker and Pratchett. I adore how he shows off the different personalities of Garrodigh's heads! It comes out in the UK from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social this July!

There are people in Minnesota who are violating the law, and it's the people who are flash-banging babies, shooting people who pose no threat, and deploying tear gas against peaceful crowds. The way to end the violence in Minnesota is for ICE to stop committing violence against Minnesotans.

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

To anyone who I've ever disappointed I offer my #heartfelt apologies. I was too busy living up to my own expectations; Worrying about yours was the last thing on my mind. I sincerely regret not paying more attention to your wishes. Actually, just kidding. You do you and I'll do me. The end. #vss365

New iPhone OS update a triumph of nonsense aesthetics over function. Why not have the clock on your lockscreen as translucent numbers so it’s really hard to glance at time? Possible to reverse but you really have to dig for it.

He looked so small and defenceless, with his gray hair, wizened skin and a permanent #stoop that made him walk bent double. When I offered my protection, I learned that appearances can be deceiving. "Come any closer," he growled, "and I'll use these knives to cut your Achilles tendons." #vss365

As we approached to land in the grass, we lurched sideways. I was almost thrown from the saddle. We twisted the other way, and I clutched the reins in my hands to stop myself falling. Just my luck to go through years of training only to be assigned a dragon that's #spooked by butterflies. #vss365

That was a little thing that players would only notice if they rode into the glade. A little moment Rory had never seen anywhere else and the game continued to surprise him. The horse became #spooked. Whinnying and tossing its head. Rory even remained mounted to just to see it once more. #vss365

The Lady smiled. "Have some Turkish #Delight, they're your brother's favourite." Lucy sighed. "Look, Witch, Edmund is a dumb incel with undiagnosed diabetes, and he'll fall for any old nonsense." She pulled the machete from her coat with a flourish. "Take me back to the lamp-post. Now." #vss365

She hated it when she had a pleasant #dream. That meant something dreadful had happened in the real world. Her slumbering mind seemed to draw in all that was good, leaving behind only pain and devastation. She could not stop it happening. All she could do was welcome the nightmares. #vss365

yeah soz, i'd rather take my chances on zack polanski's fantasy than see starmer or whoever replaces him deliver nigel farage's.
