“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

The world of politics seems full to the brim with milksops, apologists and fascists - to all of those who have not been lured into the trap of being cruel and bitter - who speak up for the children of Gaza, the LGBTQ community, for refugees, against misogyny, against austerity - I salute you

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

4 stars! Probably my favourite of King's Holly Gibney stories. I like the juxtaposition between the hallmarks of a more cosy-detective narrative with King's customary horrific imaginings. 💙📚

4 stars! Late King doesn't quite hit the heights of Early King but there's something so effortless and masterful about his more recent work. Mr Harrigan's Phone and Rat are the highlights in this collection. 📚💙

5 stars! A bit of a slow-burn, but ultimately an immersive and evocative approach to the detection story. 📚💙
