It’s gender- and class war. ‘Women, know your place’ and doff your cap, thanks sir. Somehow all these cunts think they’re landed gentry.

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book

if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.

Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

This wretched, thick-as-pigshit country. The NHS keeps a proven bigot and demonstrably rubbish nurse, but loses an actual doctor. Great fucking job.

Yeah that sounds kinda sensible. Maybe.

laz: How’s it going Damian?

Damian Hall: Probably exactly how you want it to be going.

This is a great find to keep up with the Barkley Marathon. Who is where and who’s toast:

Secretly, or among themselves, they'll be proud.

Look up Myrtle routine on youtube - there are lots of follow along ones. Don't be put off by the runner's thing - it does all the movements you need for flexibility in your hips. It only takes minutes!

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza

A reminder that as Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper had so little confidence in pushing a ban on Palestine Action through parliament in July 2025 that she bundled it together with the neo-Nazi "Maniacs Murder Cult" and then refused MPs the right to vote on each separately.

The state must drop the ban

McSweeney pressed for his mentor to get the job. One of the most bizarre shortlists of all time was drawn up: Mandelson, George Osborne and the rugged TV survivalist Bear Grylls, since it was believed he would appeal to Trump, also a star of reality TV. Starmer initially backed Osborne but McSweeney got his way.

This piece in The Spectator by @shippersunbound.bsky.social has an absolutely mad detail that I was not previously aware of spectator.com/article/auth...

If only they wanted to be a free and tolerant society!

Wow!

This is a *big* legal win.

The UK Lawyers for Israel have managed to convince the Open University to change their teaching materials. They'll change the wording "ancient Palestine" because of course there has never been a Palestine and it has always been Israel.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2 28 days since the Gaza Committee (NCAG) was created to take over gov from Hamas, Israel has not allowed a single one of its 15 commissioners into Gaza I spoke to people close to Dr. Ali Shaath, they fear NCAG's creation is merely "a distraction" from Israel's ongoing genocide🧵

Guatemala to Phase Out Use of Cuban Doctors Amid U.S. Pressure The program, nearly 30 years old, had allowed Cuban medical workers to fill critical needs in Guatemala, while reaping income for Cuba.

Capitalist progress!

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

“You cannot strangle a people like this.”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the US using the threat of tariffs to cut off oil shipments to Cuba harms the people Washington says it wants to help.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:
