On the subject of audiobooks, I really want one of Q by Luther Blisett (an Italian anarchist collective, not the British footballer but bear with me). It's a truly brilliant book but there appears to be no audio version of it. Damn.
The absolute best audiobook I've ever listened to is the author Donna Tartt reading her (and her family's) favourite book True Grit. Her reading of it is incredibly compelling and the book is funny and gripping. But it's what she brings to it that elevates it for me. Her love for it shines through.

This looks like an Emmerdale new cast member announcement created by a previous-generation LLM.

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Prescott himself doctored Trump quote in his anti-BBC report

Genuinely think this might be the first real test of the limits of Trump’s brazenness this term. This shouldn’t make Dems back down – there’s no-one in there they feel obliged to defend (nor should they). So it’s just gonna draw more attention to Trump’s own role. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

If Epstein is a democrat problem don’t you think Trump would have released the files already?

Also - and I KNOW this isn't the key point here - he has put on quite a bit of weight and is spanxed-to-the-max to hide it. Not saying it to fat-shame, being an ample gentleman myself. But to a vain, alpha, walking-midlife-crisis, always lecturing actual soldiers to get fit, it is objectively funny.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

I'm fine with that tbh.

Many royal correspondents have said it would be difficult for Brian to strip Andrew of his titles, as it would require a huge amount of parliamentary time.
But Britain managed to de-king Edward VIII... and it only took a morning.

For everyone talking about how sloppy Epstein's writing is, consider that self-editing your words to make sure they communicate effectively is a gift we give to our readers to make sure we're understood. Rich, powerful narcissists don't do that because they expect everyone else to work for them.
