Just finished Wolves Eat Dogs. Great read, though, thank you again for the tip.

I'm puzzled at the ending, as it's inferred (via the MO of slaughter of the pig) - although not stated - that Roman from the Zone perhaps killed Timofeyev. But I have must have missed why?! πŸ€“

Hand-drawn illustration in warm tones of yellow, orange, and ochre with soft layered outlines and scattered dots for texture. In the centre, surrounded by ripple-like waves, is a handwritten message in black all-caps lettering: β€œJust because you carry it well, doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.” The artwork is soft, supportive, and gently reminds us of the unseen weight people may be carrying.

A reminder today… even if someone’s carrying it well, it might still be heavy…

Was England manager Thomas Tuchel right to criticise fans after Wembley win over Wales? BBC Sport looks into Thomas Tuchel's criticism of England fans during their comfortable friendly win over Wales.

Tuchel is hilarious. Great innovator - with every role he finds new ways to be alienated then sacked. I often thought he'd be a good #LFC coach, but only for about 45 mins, then he'd be gone

Doing an Arkady Renko recap to mark passing of Martin Cruz Smith, having spent decades recommending Gorky Park to ppl reading few sequels. Polar*, Havana Bay, Stalin's Ghost, Tatiana, even Independence Square, all great. Wolves Eat Dogs (thx @bookishlinda.bsky.social) and Hotel Ukraine next #booksky

Being old means playlists of old pop where any item can remind you of passing knowledge onto your kids. Just now a random sequence:
- Dexys: Burn it down (chorus of 8 Irish author names)
- JT: Convoy (spot the chartreuse microbus on the M6)
- Alanis: Thanku (unabashedly bawling is ok)

Is it me or is that Chelsea lineup one #LFC should not fear too much?

Nice thread. I now see how Polar Star narrative got to be so vivid! I only read Gorky Park, back in the day, but then have recently picked up #2,3,4 (Havana Bay) then just finished Stalin's Ghost. Next will be Tatiana, skipping 3 stations unless anyone tells me I'd be crazy to πŸ€“#Renko

Just finished #TheTestaments by @margaretatwood.bsky.social. What an excellent sequel. Don't know why it took me so long to pick it up! Painful but crucial reading for western societies

A Jan CB signing that many felt necessary seems essential now. I think most LFC fans probably priced in #Leoni as a high risk, might-not-be-ready type of option in any case. What a debut at 18yo, talk about highs and lows. He has 000,000s of fans wishing him the best and fastest recovery

For the Hugo goal, Fede not only takes the ball down in one, he manages to feign to shoot and take the GK out of the game as he delivers the assist. Sublime skills #Chiesa
