A big ask, no pressure & I know people have better things to do but if about 15-20 people buy this from Blackwell's in the next few hours it's likely I'd have the number 1 & 2 books in their chart & that might be enough to finally persuade an American publisher to get my books out over there...
2000+ Americans have bought this book on import from the UK. Many of them have told me they love it. Meanwhile, the UK publishing industry: "I am sorry. We can't sell this book to an American audience. They will find it too British." FREE worldwide delivery here: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...
I'm not sure 'I used artificial insemination on my 17th baby momma who is mixed race four times because I believe in the Great Replacement conspiracy theory' is entirely brilliant a defence against accusations of racism.
The Economist: "People say that you're a racist. What is the motivation for doing that?" Elon Musk: "My partner is... she's half-Indian and... I have four children with her. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. So I would say I'm not racist."

He believes far right ideals have merit because they consolidate power and succeed by their own metric, leftist ideals have no merit by extension. Note his factions *immediate* vocal admiration for Trump’s executive orders and the formation of DOGE. They commended the ‘success’ but not the rhetoric.
At his heart, Starmer believes in the meritocracy, that it’s functioning properly in a just manner, because it made him PM. There’s no ethics or morality, only success, which is why he can ally with fascists. They have power, therefore they earned it. That it’s fair and right that they’re in charge.
Daily showers feel like such a privilege these days. I don't trust Jonathan, but, I do trust my nose. I *smell*. But not as bad as this bullshit.
Or maybe we shouldn't, because I don't think Dan's claim "everyone feels like they've got poorer" is actually true? Vast majority of people (80%) say they are very/relatively comfortable/can "comfortably cover essentials", and this hasn't changed much.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
This is unlike anything we've seen before in all our years of handheld reviewing! #ModRetro #GameBoy

@nebula.tv Can you dim your background images? I’m struggling to read the video titles with my shitty eyeballs. Thanks boo

If we as a country got here through, say, transphobia and racism, then opposition *has* to be opposed to transphobic and racist policies. Otherwise, it’s not opposition to fascism, it’s a competition to see who gets to be in charge while doing it.
Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.
