Yes, you could give the Tolkien estate even more money, or you could give Terfella even more money, or you could spend about a tenner to make movies or TV shows of my books, for audiences craving new and original stories.

I think Bank of England banknotes should show quintessentially British things to bemuse foreigners.
- 3am queue at a kebab van
- Family huddled behind a windbreak on a deserted beach
- Ianto’s shrine
- Four candles

The wheel spins. The wheel assigns chores. Pod knows what happens if he rebels – he’s seen the scars. But he doesn’t want to clear sewers or farm fields, like thousands of others: he wants purpose, and love. When a boy appears who somehow knows his name, and his best friend disappears on a mad mission to fix a breach, Pod stops following and starts leading. What’s really going on? Searching for his friend with the mysterious boy, Pod uncovers secrets as big as the wheel – and truths that reshape his life.
First time I see the guy who gonna tumble my life, he kicking dirt near the lock to the grey flat dome of Peba academy. He a redskin like me, or a brownskin mix. Under a thick hand shading the sunstrip, his dark big eyes scan the levels of the new block crowding tall next the dome. It like he counting rooms, or like he ent never seen a block before. Reckoned for nother dull day of same same. Nother day of sunstrip ticking across, of lux sliding round the wheel sector sector sector, glowing the grass and the towns and the lakes as stars spin. Nother day of me and the other dumb rando assholes with academy chores yawning through Systems shit til lunch. Nope.

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

I think I’ve decided on the title of my next book, and the one after that (it’s a duology).
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.

Threads is such a weird place. I post about my work, which is *why people followed me*, and get ~10 views from my 368 followers. I post snark about Threads, and get 750+ views in 30 minutes.
The algorithm destroyed social media. And probably society, TBH.
