Actually, scratch that. I’ve done some more research and I’m now favouring the Onyx Boox Go 7. It’s $100 more than the Kindle Paperwhite but has four times the storage capacity. And it runs on Android so you’re not locked to a single ebook platform. I think I’m going to go for it. Will report back!

What’s the best one liner in movie history?

Just realised I’m coming up on a year since my last booking – which was itself almost two years after my previous booking. *sigh* stoopid cost-of-living crisis … ☹️

Exactly. Look, they can blame my favourite food, drink, movie and sports teams – I don’t care! As long as the orange pox is gone, I’ll be happy.

Oh God, Fetterman! What a disaster that was!

Yes, indeed, I hope Zoran holds true to his principles. If I were a New Yorker, I’d vote for him, too!

I use an iPad Air. Reading is good but the battery is 💩. I’m actually thinking about getting a Kindle Paperwhite. I hate Amazon, but the Kindle is a really solid reader with a good battery life. And you don’t have to buy from Amazon; as long as books are DRM-free you can read them on the Kindle. 🤷‍♂️

I’m sure he has his flaws, but he seems like exactly the sort of politician this moment in history needs. Open, compassionate, unafraid to stand up for his beliefs and, crucially, unwilling to compromise to chase votes. I hope he wins. And I hope we see more like him, here, and all across the world.

I have way too many books I want to read and not nearly enough time. Somebody sort that out for me, would you please? Thanks.

Seconded. Great series.

Ah, that’s a tough time – even though it’s for the best. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and your family, mate.

And Ted Cruz is clearly the result of one of those transporter accidents that are too horrific to base an episode around.

Well, I mean … It’s one thing for her to *read* Terry Pratchett’s books, it’s quite another for her to understand them...

Speyside single malts FTW! That Balvenie Double Wood to your right is excellent, too.

Beautiful lady with a wonderful book! I’ve read it over a dozen times and I find something new every time. 🧙‍♂️🧝‍♀️🐉💍🗡️

Very much my favourite of all your shoots. There are some photos of heartbreaking beauty in these. 💘

It’s terrific, isn’t it? I have two episodes to go. Then the wait for Season Four …

When you’re trying to rewrite history to make an unapologetically racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic liar into a gentle Christian martyr, the fact that he was an unapologetically racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic liar is kind of inconvenient.

I hope you’re wrong but fear you’re right. I don’t think it will be as bad as if Kirk’s killer was discovered to be a card-carrying Democrat, but it will be bad enough. They’re already pretending the attack came from the Left, so …

Stay safe!

Great movie, one of the best soundtracks of all time. It’s true – I Heard It Through the Grapevine.

throws people in concentration camps based on the colour of their skin, I don’t think the Nazi comparison is out of line. Anyway 🤷‍♂️. Not cheering that a fellow human has been murdered, but also not sorry there’s one less fascist propagandist on the planet. 2/2

Just been called out on my FB page over a post about Charlie Kirk. For the record, it wasn’t celebrating his death or mocking him. It *was* comparing him with Hitler, but given that he founded MAGA’s Hitler Youth arm, Turning Point, and that he was a mouthpiece for an administration that 1/2

I left Twitter behind over a year ago and I haven’t looked back. Bluesky is much better – and your regular presence would make it better still!

I’m reading book five, now. Terrific series, I’m sorry it took me so long to get to it. And there’s a seventh book coming out in about a week!

No, it just smells like it.

Cool. So the Trump administration is resigning en masse, then?
