2026 in books thread

I'm trying to write reviews and save quotes from all the books I read. I never manage to do so, but if the incentive helps me to do it more often, it's good enough. I'll try to publish them here too.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Next month (uk) - the fourth (main) Tyrant Philosophers book, with my most bombastic ever title.
In #PretendersToTheThroneOfGod, Arthur C. Clarke winner & Sunday Times bestselling author Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social returns to a world steeped in magic – & the #TyrantPhilosophers campaign to bring reason, logic and ‘perfection’ to it.

Impossível ficar indiferente à onda de apoio que tenho recebido. Agradeço sinceramente todas as mensagens e as publicações que fizeram. Como é evidente, não me deixarei intimidar e continuarei a criticar e a satirizar o governo ou quem bem entender.

Sabem quem é que recomendou em 2024 que os seus membros desenvolvessem estratégias contra o uso de SLAPPs? O comité de ministros do Conselho da Europa @coe.int.

Sabem quem é que é membro desta organização? Portugal.

Mais uma vez, alguém informe o Primeiro-Ministro da seriedade do seu cargo.
Isto que estão a fazer ao @volksvargas.bsky.social não é só estúpido: é perigoso e vem do Trump. Chama-se SLAAPP (Strategic Legal Action Against Public Participation). A ideia é criar um chill effect porque, mesmo absurdo, o processo tem custos para o visado.

It's a good thing Donald Trump was reelected as U.S. president as NATO allies wouldn't have boosted defense spending without him, the military alliance's Secretary-General Mark Rutte said today.

“I’m not popular with you now because I’m defending Donald Trump,” says military alliance chief as U.S. president menaces Greenland.

Miller: "In MN, the insurrectionists are confronting our officers on the street. They're being arrested. This is a natl security priority. Arrests of insurrectionists are made every day, and each provide us an opportunity to learn about the network from a law enforcement & natl security standpoint"

JAMA: COVID-19 infection in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in early childhood.

We were warned about maternal immune activation YEARS ago.

Clean air, masking, and prevention were never “overreactions.” They were child-protection.

They still are.

People say fantasy is often escapism. Yes, there one can escape into a world where a god would smite this creature into oblivion, a hero would let lightning down on her and her many idiotic hats, topple her from her horse and watch as her spell breaks and she turns back into her real cockroach form.
Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

“I was oppressed by the sense of universal strangeness, by the chill of approaching catastrophe, the menace of ruins suspended above; and also by the enormity of what had been done, the weight of collective guilt.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

Just because you *can* install a solar panel under a goat doesn't mean you *should* install a solar panel under a goat.
I'm posting this for no other reason than goats

Well, solar's a pretty good reason, too

And also, solar is the GOAT

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.
A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.
