Thank you to every venue who decided to NOT use fireworks tonight. Fireworks have a devastating impact on animals and also on humans. Thanks for being considerate and kind.

Laughter, gratitude, tears of appreciation and wonder @thebooklounge.bsky.social last night for the magical celebration of Andrew Brown's win of the Sunday Times Fiction Prize for his The Bitterness of Olives. An unforgettable evening of pure joy.

The Importance of the Oxford Comma
 
Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission,
the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition
raised by serious serialists keen to ensure
its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.
 
And what a response! From across every nation,
the signatures poured in beyond all expectation –
from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves,
to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.
 
There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded;
the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid;
the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan;
Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;
 
plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor –
all supported this change to grammatical law.
This formal petition was then presented in hope
to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope.

And not MAGAts.
