I don't think I took a single breath during the first half of this book. 59 Minutes is one of the best stories I've read in a while, with a twist that is SO perfectly executed, I never saw it coming. Out on the 25th from @holly.bsky.social

This is why I struggle with "legitimate concerns," people have no actual idea what's going on
63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months
8% of people think it fell
Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023
[It is falling further in 2025]
Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

Any book suggestions? I’m looking for similar vibe to Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Gatsby, The Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott, The Razor’s Edge, anything by Isherwood… any suggestions?! Novellas and thin novels especially appreciated as holiday ending soon!

The end of days is turning out be such a fucking stupid era
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

I find the whole concept of this wildly uncomfortable.
"Notes to John is a scrapbook of secondary material. Reading it for an experience of Didion’s work is like trying to listen to Abbey Road by looking at photographs of the recording equipment."
Me on an entirely new experience: reading a boring Joan Didion book. Not to mention the ethics of it...

This new Joan Didion book should never have been published
Notes to John is a collection of the writer’s jottings about her sessions with a psychiatrist. She didn’t think them worth publishing when she was alive — and she wasn’t wrong

The original Threads affected me so deeply that decades later I wrote 59 Minutes (out in September) with similar themes. For a long time, Threads felt *archived*… so it almost feels like this is confirming something terrible. Does that make any kind of sense?
