Yeah, this. 🙂
I always say people should start with whatever is available or whichever blurb takes their fancy

Seconding this recommendation 😁

@burrowingowl.bsky.social, did you see King Owlbert?

That face! 🥰 I made a little donation to help out.

It's interesting how the setting and inclusion of humour can be enough to prevent some people from being able to engage with the themes.
Still, you tried! 😊

His anger at injustice, those with power and much more is very evident.
Enjoy the rest of the read through 🙂

This is bit I think wiki.lspace.org/Jocasta_Wiggs
🙂

Wholeheartedly second this approach 👍

I think it's more that they send the overly cocky ones at him to help them learn a bit of humility

And how was it received?

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

"are you sure you're not elvish?" 😁

All of the new penguin audio ones have new narrators. Andy Serkis reads Small Gods and is v enjoyable 😊

2.2?

Our oven clock doesn't and it gets me every time. Twice a flippin year. Every year 🙄

Nope. So far so good 👍

Both good recommendations there 😊

As I said, I'm not sure that the comparisons are equivalent. To me it doesn't seem so because one is a title with no power (other than representing the status quo etc of course) and the other is idealogy.
But I do take your point that it does have an appearance of being counter

I'm struggling 2work out how to explain, and not familiar with the comparison to try and work out whether it's a reasonable one. The queen had no actual power (unlike trump), so it's more akin to accepting a bauble from an old lady. There is ancient symbolism but without any real difference in power

@davefnbuck.bsky.social Not really. A knighthood is just a trophy/medal now. It's no power or elevation to it. I can imagine he'd have found being knighted but from his background as a hoot.
If he had been offered a peerage (never would have happened anyway), that would have been very different.

It's a million to one chance so it has to work...

Hanged to within one inch of his life 😉

Reading that right now. For is it not written "I was not born yesterday"

Oo it's the vampire one! carpe jugulum 😊

Wyrd Sisters?

Fore street is pretty used to legless folk so maybe it's one of theirs?

No. So far so good 👍
