Only 6 days until AGENCY, starring cosmic horror landlords, is released. Here's some handy links if you want to pre-order, while I'm having an ongoing excited/nervous wibble.

This is not the mainstream recognition genre fiction was looking for. Somewhat suggestive of the recruiter mindset that the biggest award they could think of was the Hugo though, and not the Pulitzer, Booker, and Novel for one thing.

SITCOMS! We need funny things to watch, 30mins max length. HMU with recommendations pls! We've loved The Good Place, Spaced (glossing over Vulva...), Ghosts (mainly for Robin admittedly), Sex Education and Futurama, for a few references. Bounced off Daddy Issues and Everyone Else Burns.

Folks, let's keep talking to our parents and grandparents with love. Especially the ones we disagree with. The pace of cultural change is wild, and accelerating - new things can be scary at first, so bring them along for the ride, share the joy with them.
Gap between young men and young women partly differential pace + intensity of shifting left as much as gender polarisation. As youngest male group is 1/4 right and 1/2 left, so can find representatives of the smaller seghment online + offline, as in all cohorts - but it is narrativised as the norm

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Interesting. A calmly-expressed, moderate and mature pitch to a centre-right electorate is a bucket-list item for me right now - not because I'd vote for it, but because so many other people would - so fingers crossed this remains as presented.

We are community or we are less. We are engines of kindness and connectivity or we are less. When decency is framed as a radical position we must remain who we are. Our resistance is also in refusing to be less openhearted and filled with compassion.

And there’s the irony: in the attempt to avoid inserting itself into the argument, a news organisation which fails to distinguish empty statements from evidenced ones is doing exactly that.
