Are you shilling for Big Cabbage now Alom?

Ha! You’ve seen right through me.

Yup

Some good advice here. Yes, “thanksgiving” can feel a bit cringe, but done as suggested here, it can make you and others feel better

Save the Cows, Save the World Eating less meat is one of the easiest ways to help mitigate the awful damage humans are doing to the Earth. We really could save the world if we just stopped eating the cows. I’m going to tr…

Did you know that cabbage is one of the most environmentally sustainable vegetables we grow in the U.K.? Here’s a recipe that might make you more likely to eat it if you’re not a fan:

A lot of you seem to like this recipe for fried cabbage I shared yesterday (some of you even went and made it straight away!) I've written it up in one place so it's easily findable and shareable.

Enjoy!

Very interesting number crunching that backs up my (anecdotal, and now very old) view as a bookseller that the best Booker winner, from the perspective of author and bookseller's commercial interests, is one with a long backlist.

Just catching up with the breaking news that 50 years ago Nigel Farage was still a racist.

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge

It is! Let me know if you try it :)

‘Good Tradition’ was the first song I recorded with @tanitatikaram.bsky.social back in 1988. It was joy to play then and still is - now with a coda! 🎻☀️😊🧡

Everything for money!

Absolutely delighted by this – I can't think of a better home for Zombies, Run! than with Naomi!

Going forward, I'm looking for a new home for When The Giants Passed Through.

Despite it all, I'd like to work with another indie press. If that's you, drop me a line 😅 Shy bairns get nowt, as they say.

Thank you all for your understanding.

Much love.

Plenty of evidence that these guys are doing real, measurable harm to the rest of us and yet we seem incapable of standing up to them. I hope I live long enough to see this change.

This is what is so frustrating - COP actually worked in 2015, so why is it such a failure now? Have just filed a leader on exactly this topic...

"I am pulling up the ladder because I'm personally in a pretty cushy position and it was easier for me to get there & then maintain that by blaming people like me for existing, than it is to demand this racist country sorts itself out." - Patel, Braverman, Sunak, Lammy, Cleverly, Mahmoud etc etc

Obviously the newspapers go hard on inheritance tax as half of senior journalists went to private school so you can bet they have nice properties to inherit

The house was worth £1.2 million excluding other assets. British entitlement to unearned wealth tax free is astonishing

A bajillion years ago (around 2016), I was desperate for work and a client asked me to write an ad-lib listicle generator for a defunct news site he still owned and hoped to juice some last ad dollars out of. "11 times Jennifer Aniston was on fleek" ...just inane shit like that. Well...

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations | Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I’m a novelist who’s just bought a video games company. Here’s why you should care about games writing | The Observer

just incredibly thrilled to announce that after months and months of uncertainty over the future of the game, and several I have bought Zombies, Run!, the game I co-created and have been making for the past 12 years:
