You love to see it.

The surgeon might be drunk.

A man’s forearm with a tattoo depicting a sword with curled patterns on the blade in black ink, intertwined with the Andor starboard symbol in dark red.

New ink, who dis?

It’s the sword held by Lady Justice intertwined with the early starbird from Andor. To me it represents Rebellion/Justice and SciFi/Fantasy.

I also thought this.

Today in “Justin grew up in the US and can’t remember which spelling is which”, we have ‘plough’ and ‘plow’.

SIGH

A white t-shirt with blue details including a picture of a fish and text reading: “Buy a man eat fish, He day, Teach fish man To a lifetime.”

“Unsure whether terrible translation, deliberate satire or slightly racist.”

I love that whatever I’m saying has clearly amused @emilyinkpen.bsky.social.

A cool image of a planet and moon in space with a distant star and a lens flare to the left. On the right is the logo for BookMatch, a stylised combination of a book and a matchbook with one match lit, including the line “The spark to set your book on fire”. At the bottom right is the text ‘BookMatch.co.uk’.

Exciting BookMatch meeting last night! Testing is complete and everything works as it should. We’re making some final tweaks just to make the site even more user-friendly and will be launching in April!

No idea how long this will last, so hey, go get a bargain!

5 Fantasy Books With 10/10 Plot Twists We're Still Thinking About Years Later Not every fantasy book can execute a 10/10 plot twist, but these five will leave readers reeling long after they've finished them

No big deal, just The Lost War hanging out on @comicbook.com's list of 10/10 plot twists in Fantasy with some guys called James Islington, @joeabercrombie.com, George RR Martin and @brandonsanderson.com. 😎

My day job is literally proofreading and editing, and I am constantly showing people evidence of why using AI to generate reports is a BAD idea.

Yup

Alt text goals.

On a black background with flourishes of red lines and dots is the text: Meet the BFS Members! Justin Lee Anderson. Justin is pictured in the centre: he is a white man with shoulder-length curly brown hair, and he wears wire-rimmed glasses. He's standing in front of a stone wall, wearing a maroon leather jacket and black t-shirt.

Every Friday, we meet a BFS member & peer deep into their soul. Let's head for grimmest, darkest Scotland for grimdark (and humour!) writer @justinleeanderson.com, who grew up on Narnia before discovering the dark side through Joe Abercrombie.

Speaking after Tony Vaughan, who has been highly critical of Mahmood’s asylum plans & organised the letter from 100+ MPs asking the PM to think again, Rayner also weighs in: Says changes on indefinite leave to remain “pulls the rug from under those who have planned their lives and commitments and are contributing to our economy and to our society” Says it’s ’un-British’ “I believe in a country where we keep our word and live up to our values”

The government's "earned settlement" proposals

"pull the rug from under those who have planned their lives and commitments and are contributing to our economy and to our society...I believe in a country where we keep our word and live up to our values”

Absolutely right from Angela Rayner.

Hell yes! Thank you, Macca and Reg!

No!

God damn it, can we please STOP? All Jews are not Netanyahu. Targeting ANYONE for who they are is unacceptable. Judge by words and actions, not blood and skin. We’re supposed to have evolved beyond this bullshit.
