I have a marketing meeting with Penguin this afternoon to discuss my next book, SLEUTH-HOUND, so I felt like I was justified in wearing one of the dresses that I bought for the upcoming tour. Wednesday Adams: eat your heart out.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Modern tyranny is terror management.
I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow.
"The Next Terrorist Attack: And What Comes After"

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

A perfect read for Women's History Month!

It’s not an Israel-Iran conflict. The states/players involved include the US, the Saudis, Russia, Qatar, Hamas/Hezbollah, and now UAE and Bahrain.

The early medieval burial from Gammertingen, 6th century AD.
The high-ranking warrior died in his early 30s and was buried with a Byzantine helmet (a so-called Spangenhelm), his weapons, and his mail armour, which consisted of about 45,000 iron rings!

Hungry for Affirmation, Vulnerable to Scams: As a Writer, I Know the Feeling

“[People were] reaching out to commiserate on my underappreciated literary genius & to offer their services. Either I had finally been recognized as the Proust of my generation, or this frenzied attention was part of some insistent scam. Guess which one.” 🎁 link www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/b...

A caricature painting of Lindsey's grandma by Adrian Teal.

The photo that it was based on - taken in the 1940s. Lindsey's grandma has reddish brown hair and looks very glamorous.

Two years ago, my grandma died. It's a loss that I still feel to this day. Shortly after her death, @tealcartoons.bsky.social surprised me with this caricature painting of her. So glam, forever young. He said that he could see a little bit of all her grandkids in her face. She'd have loved it.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

My new book, 'Five Evil Women: Hindley, West, Wuornos, Homolka, Tucker', is officially 'out' tomorrow. A difficult book to write: how should feminists respond to women who commit horrendous crimes? I am posting blogs of some women who did not 'make it' into the final book. See joannabourke.com/blog

Wait what’s her name?!

That’s wonderful to hear!

Depressing and very true

Every single thing in the world now suggests Labour should shift wildly left and become a progressive party if it is to survive.

But you just know, as plain as day, the lesson they’ll draw from this is to be like the defeated Refom.

I can just see it a mile off.

I'd like to thank everyone who has been kind enough to subscribe to my new channel.

It's early days, and my production values currently leave a lot to be desired. But my bad videos are still garnering more views than no videos at all, and it's a pleasure to find an audience for what I do.

A ballock dagger handle, missing the tang-attached blade. For those who want to complain about the spelling we use, both this and the one you use are correct, but spelling it with an 'a' avoids issues with filters...

Victorian antiquarians called this type of dagger, of which 65 were found on the Mary Rose, a 'kidney dagger', as the lobes on the handle apparently resemble a pair of kidneys.

The Tudors called it a ballock dagger, after a different body part, but we don’t see it ourselves...

Matt Goodwin is an embarrassing idiot, and that he has ever been treated by our society in general with anything more than contempt and derision is a searing indictment of how opinion is formed in this country

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus – Happy Saint David’s Day! But who was Saint David, what is a Welsh costume, and why do we love leeks?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Meanwhile, if you want to learn about St David's Day, Welsh traditions, how we celebrate our patron saint's day both now and in the past and, of course, about Dewi Sant himself, I wrote this lengthy article last year.
