My second novel, THE KNIGHT WATCH, will be published by Orbit in June this year. It features the Knights of the Round Table killing Nazis and living their messy queer afterlives during the Second World War. I'll be sharing the wonderful cover art as soon as I'm permitted to do so.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

This goes quintuple since the entire theme of the 2020s is that the world is ruled by and in the direct interests of semi-literate squillionaire idiots, financial crooks and sex criminals via networks of influence and increasingly, just directly by imposing their will by force.
I mean, this is not up for debate, is it?These lads quite cheerfully welcomed Prime Minister Boris Johnson, for fuck’s sake. Here’s a favourite of mine, from the month after Johnson won the leadership. The latter writer here is now a Labour MP.

I'n extremely left wing and my definition of 'core British values' includes defending our democracy from foreign interference and not appointing pedophiles to important diplomatic roles. I'm interested in defending those core British values. Less interested in whatever Starmer's definition might be.
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Watching a documentary about Seymour Hersh, in which he says "books taught me how to think" - detailing how he got to attend the University of Chicago, despite the odds, and later became the journalist who reported the My Lai Massacre. Can't help thinking that that's why fascists want books to die.

Microsoft Word used to let you view a document's 'version history' which was stored locally on your hard-drive. I used to do it on a fairly regular basis. Now 'version history' is tied to OneDrive and only possible if you enable 'Connected Experiences' (e.g. CoPilot). #Enshitification intensifies.

I’ve just started reading Perilous Times by @thomasdlee.bsky.social. Enjoying the premise/writing style; reminds me of Tom Holt. Set in (maybe) the near future, the planet is burning, cities are drowning and society is collapsing. It is England’s hour of need. Who you gonna call? Who’s interfering?

Kay and Mariam hide in one of these old ROC bunkers in the first few chapters of Perilous Times. I've poked around inside one of them in Lincolnshire. They're a fascinating relic of the Cold War (and yes, one of them falling into the sea is a sure sign that subtlety is dead).
