A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY." The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask. The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!" The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.
THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up. The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood. The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original." Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes." At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."
Can't wait for Franchaela in Bridgerton's fifth season? While you wait, shall I suggest my sapphic historical fantasy filled with family drama, dangerous magic, and so much yearning?

A line image of Rodin's The Thinker (A naked man, seated on a rock, with his chin on his hand and deep in thought). Above it the title: The Argonaut's Son, a novel inspired by Sophocles' Ajax. Beneath is the log line: "In Ancient Greece, when one man's dream of family and brotherhood collides with another's quest for honour, can their bond survive the trauma of war?" It is rather cheekily given 5 stars and has recent competition successes listed in laurel wreathes. At the very bottom are the tags: "Father Compex", "Brothers in Arms", "Friends to Lovers", "Big Shields", "Bigger Egos".

In Ancient Greece, when one man's dream of family and brotherhood collides with another's quest for honour, can their bond survive the trauma of war?
Print of "Aiax Locrien" (Locrian or Lesser Ajax( crushed under a massive slab of rock while a storm rages about him and Zeus (?) Appears in the clouds riding on his eagle's back. In the background, within a beautifully landscaped park, someone punts gently down the river, seemingly oblivious. Underneath is a rhyme in French that broadly talks about his outrage of the gods, but which neither I or Google translate is good enough to do a better job!

The endgame of AI is that everyone has to rely upon the magic box to tell them everything they need to know. All hidden behind a paywall. No money = no knowledge. We're sleepwalking into capitalist idiocy.

That's a shame. Personally, I like nothing more than to whip out a sewing machine and have a good natter whilst hemming my curtains before moving on to a bit of meal prep.
The whole idea that women's toilets are some large-scale social interaction and sisterhood is a nonsense. Get in, thank the forest godess that there's loo paper, wash your hands and dry them and get out again.
My interaction and concern about what other women are doing in the loos are negligible

Hard disagree. Quiche is the only sensible option for 'if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life...'
It's got protein. It's got carbs. You can have it meat based, fish based, veg based. You can even arguably have it sweet. It has every single base covered.

Trump needs neither goading nor whimsy being attached to all the insider trading and profiteering he's facilitating. Every which you turn it, it is grim.
