This is also an opportunity for me to rectify having not yet thanked the @BlackLibrarianX for his wonderful review of DOMINION GENESIS. If Opportunity Cost whets your appetite for Talin's adventures, check out his review (and grab it in ebook or audio): https://t.co/iZI9NO7E8d

@VincentKnotley @Notsosilentrobb Much obliged to you both! Hope you enjoy it.

[Rob Y @Notsosilentrobb]

Leontus: Lord Solar is up for pre-order next week! It was a real labour of love and I sincerely hope that everyone enjoys it.

(Plus the limited edition is outrageously fancy, though I am obviously biased)

The message of Fahrenheit 451 is widely misunderstood. It's not a book about government-imposed censorship; it's about a people who grew bored with philosophy and fiction, and voluntarily relinquished the hard work of responsibility.

In case you were wondering why Kamala Harris suddenly adopted conservative rhetoric towards trans people, it's because the Labour Right advised her to do so 👇

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

These people are giving the game away. They want to create a world in which no one has the desire to read, create or think, and eventually no one has the capacity to. Reading, critical thinking, the humanities, are never wastes of time; they are what make us free.

The UK needs to #StopArmingIsrael now.

Ash Sarkar, "What worries me about the weight loss drug is being seen as an arm of the department of work and pensions" @AyoCaesar #BBCQT

"It's a healthcare decision, it shouldn't be a DWP decision"

"Similarly, the story about job coaches being sent into hospital where mental health patients are being treated"

"That's a health setting, it shouldn't be for the DWP"

"I'm not saying there isn't a role for DWP and mental health patients, but in a hospital? I don't think so"

"The benefits bill is projected to go up a third over the next five years.. The reason why, 14 years of Conservative austerity has left us with a poorer and less healthy country.. And those health issues disproportionally impact poorer regions"

"Instead of saying lets fix the leaking roof, Labour are saying let's paint the kitchen because that's a bit cheaper"

[Jonathan D. Beer @jonathandbeer]

@RhoWolf I should add, obviously, that I'm grateful to everyone who has picked up a copy of Dominion Genesis, and particularly to anyone who leaves a review or a star rating somewhere. It is immensely satisfying to see it out in the world, and even more so to know people are enjoying it.

[Jonathan D. Beer @jonathandbeer]

I am beyond grateful to @RhoWolf for his absurdly generous review of DOMINION GENESIS. His write-up is just wonderful, delving into the characters and story without even minor spoilers.
I strongly encourage you all to drop a like & subscribe on his channel https://t.co/UATD30qXnM

This report is, frankly, terrifying. The world, in its present configuration, is singularly useless at long-term thinking and coordinated action.
I deeply fear the future we are heading towards.

The people of Gaza must decide how it is rebuilt - not those who destroyed it.

An Israeli/UAE vision for Gaza at its best will be a cage, with fake gold-plating and great marketing, where everyone is economically enslaved and surveilled.

It is the anathema of democracy.

[Jason Reid @JasonReidx]

New Labour government has the nation’s leading mental health charity issuing a statement to calm nerves because of plans to get ppl into work direct from hospital beds. 🫠

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Excellent and necessary article by @nickshaxson:
"Starmer seems to be taking the side of global monopoly power over the people of Britain." It's a craven and ultimately self-defeating approach. https://t.co/RhRKrXQooD

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

The NYT just published a piece on how Israeli army routinely and systematically uses Palestinians as human shields in Gaza.

Palestinians were officially referred to as insects — “wasps” or “mosquitos.”

This is a war crime that has not been documented since Vietnam.

And yet:

"An HMRC report published on 20 June this year... estimated the tax gap to be £39.8bn for the 2022-23 tax year. The tax gap is the difference between the amount of tax that should be collected and what has actually been paid."

🚨 BREAKING: Patients on mental health wards with "serious mental health problems" will be visited by job coaches to get them back to work, says Labour.

The policy is part of Liz Kendall's plan to cut welfare. Kendall said: "I want to see those costs coming down".
