Five book covers against a background that fades from a blue-tone pattern of circuitry to a beige-toned runes. The first three books are under the heading of Android Ardour and are titled: An Unexpected Attachment, Too Hot to Handle, and Synthetic Agency. They each feature the torso of a well-toned man in the process of undressing against a background of circuitry. The other two books are under the heading: The Sussuran Chronicles. The first is called Oviposition and features the silhouette of a man in a cave surrounded by tentacles. The second is called Ruinous Attraction and features a drawing of two naked men embracing on the floor against a background of runes. All books are by Ruby Jones.

This is 100% wrong. The point of impeachment is to help the 35% of Americans who don’t know about all the awful stuff happening under Trump to find out. It’s TV. This isn’t complicated or legal or even political. It’s straight out campaign media.
daveweigel.bsky.social Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · Apr 27
What would the point be of another Trump impeachment when he’s a lame duck and Rs won’t convict him?

Dems need an answer for the remnant of resistance people who are demanding impeachment but far more important for them to use normal Oversight powers effectively.

#WIPSnips 27 April: indeed

Just one use in the whole of Synthetic Agency, and it's from quite late on:
"Come on, let's get inside. I want to see my furry baby." Sam smiled and showed them into the building. "He has no idea what's going on, little idiot," she said. "But he'll be happy to see you anyway." The cat was indeed happy to see him, and Blake scooped Oscar up into his arms, kissing him and going over to the cupboard that had his treats. Sam touched Solo's arm to hold him back as he went to follow Blake. "Is he really OK?" she asked with a low voice, her eyes full of worry. No, would have been the truth. But Sam must know that. She was asking something different - maybe for some specific way in which Blake was OK that she could use for reassurance. "He's free," Solo said. "Really free this time." Sam frowned, but she nodded.

#WIPSnips 26 April: decor

No 'decor' in Synthetic Agency, but I think this description is as close as it gets.
Blake’s living room and kitchen formed a large open plan area on the ground floor. Between the kitchen island and his sofa was a workout zone. He stopped and stared at his free weights. “What a fucking monumental waste of time.” He’d spent hours working out. Every week. For what he supposed must have been his whole life. He’d been proud of his physique. “What a joke!” His shape was built out of synthetic skin over synthetic muscles. Plastic and wires and fuck knew what else that was anything but organic or changeable. He couldn’t ‘lose’ his shape by slobbing out, and he sure as hell couldn’t improve on it either.

A homeless person's greatest enemy - more than addiction, more than physical or mental illness - is hopelessness. #HousingFirst does the best job of alleviating that.

#WritersCoffeeClub 11. Share a favourite line of prose

Mine, or someone else's?😂
Here's one from Stephen King - The first line of The Gunslinger: "The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed."

It's engraved on my heart forever. It's so ominous and so simple and so powerful.

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.
