@jojolarrieu @DavidDidau Hello, sorry I don't come back to these parts very often! I'm with @UA_Books and can recommend.

@DonnaMSkidmore @AmbJohnBolton So you vote for a millionaire con man who doesn't give a shit about you.

@MGLnrd From the thinness and the flat yellow back cover it makes me think it's an old-style ladybird hardback. Is it an elephant on the cover?!

@PolitlcsUK 15,000 marched for clean rivers and it barely made the news.

@aliceg4green This place is now a propaganda machine for Musk. Whether it is inclusive isn't up to us, unfortunately.

@GreenRupertRead It's not a city square, it's a privately-owned space someone is making money out of and using to spread propaganda. It's more like a gangster-owned drinking den!

[Mike Smith blogshank.bsky.social @blogshank]

@GreenRupertRead I don't agree. It's not to do with the nutters on this platform, it's to do with the ownership. I wouldn't buy a Murdoch newspaper and I won't be staying here.

@prospect_clark He can't even stand against genocide.

[Mike Smith blogshank.bsky.social @blogshank]

@prospect_clark I don't think he will stand against it. I don't think he stands for anything.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

I don't know to what extent Biden spending the final year of his failed presidency enabling a genocide mattered electorally; probably we were doomed regardless. What I do know is that his accomplishments in office will be erased and the genocide will be his enduring legacy.

@Nigel_Farage Working tirelessly for the people of Clacton

[Mike Smith blogshank.bsky.social @blogshank]

@NicSchofie @NadiaShireen Exactly.

@DrMatthewSweet Totally agree re 1.

When asked how fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

@GeorgeTakei Honestly it would be much better for the country if we all abandoned Amazon and start giving local businesses some love again.

Cool but he still keeps that 2 million doesn’t he. Maybe that advance could have been far reduced, and then shared out and invested in new, talented authors? Increasing the publisher’s chances of recouping their money?? 🧐
