He's right. I told you on the doorstep that we wanted Labour policies, not Tory policies with a fraction less corruption. This hasn't changed.
I was wondering how many @glasgow2024.bsky.social people came through there. I cycled past it most days.

I'm reading The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and enjoying it. About 20% in.
I'm not on bedtime story sorry right now, which means I get to Lauren to my wife reading A Wizard of Earthsea.
TBF, some republicans care about it. Otherwise he wouldn't be trying to distract them. Most seem to accept that this is the price of their tax breaks.

Cover of The Kraken Wakes. A man sits in a deck chair. Snow swirls about him.
Some of that range are quite deliberately mundane

Dear me, missed one: The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. A classic.
I have no idea what that cover has to do with the book.

This one just came up as a "Top picks for you", dunno if it's a monthly deal - Julia by Sandra Newman: www.amazon.co.uk/Julia-Sandra...
One of two 1984 feminist retellings/reimaginings/side stories that came out in 2023. (The other was Katherine Bradley's The Sisterhood.)
Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of God's Junk Drawer by @peterclines.com, which I *have* and *have read* and *have nominated for awards*. This is "What if Land of the Lost were based on a real incident?"

IANAL.
While there might be uncopyrightable code in the system, unless you're delivering an entire AI project (in which case your problem is "copilot, build me a system just like Sean's") there should be enough human putting bits together to assert ownership of the system. Not the components.
Oh the ones who enjoy raping children deserve the worst things imaginable. But the ones that are prepared to look away, to make excuses, to see those children as a price worth paying to get tax breaks or harassment of brown people or victimisation of trans kids. They can crawl back in their holes.

And to go with it a well revived at the time somewhat fantasy adjacent stone age work, Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. I'm told the series goes off the rails after book 4, but people like this one.

Several public domain titles available in daily deals. Get them from Gutenberg.
A some cold classic though, The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Read the book, see the film, repeat.

Not reduced on Kobo
He's tricked you though. He's in one of his other houses.
(You can tell from the flag not flying over the building)
Moana is a perfect example of screen writing courses that teach Joseph Campbell is the be all and end all of fantasy storytelling. Every chapter of Hero With A Thousand Faces is there.
It does have some cracking songs though.
Moana 2 on the other hand has no cracking songs.
Still, at least you don't have a black woman in charge.
