Two warm, summery days and all I can think about is watching the @nationals.com with my wife, my beer, and the dog if it's the doggy game. Go Teddy!

Can we somehow lure the various AIs into an external hard drive, disconnect it, and blast it into deep space?
@paranoiacs.bsky.social Great gig at Comet Ping Pong! Any more on the horizon? That Mr. Peter Holsapple is a bit good, isn't he?
Really sad news about Dan Simmons. A very complete novelist, and his novel "Drood" (2009) was a revelation. #BookSky

Last night I JUST HAPPENED to be in Comet Ping Pong all night and who should turn up and play a terrific show? The Paranoid Style. That's who.
Matt Goodwin: if you're this surprised that ethnic minorities will work together to defeat white supremacist politics, you're probably not smart enough to be an MP.

HaHAHa, Tariff Man.
Essentially, it means some readers think the more they read, the better they are as human beings.
I think it has a lot to do with performative virtue-signalling.

I just used water pumped through the Nespresso machine to make my Lady Grey. The end results are extraordinary. This must be what George's marvellous medicine tasted like. #Booksky
We live in an age when the Washington Post cuts its book reviews and a New York Times television critic ranked every commercial in Sunday nightβs Super Bowl from best to worst.
Ever get the feeling that things are getting dumber? Ever get the feeling someone wants you to be dumber?
Thrilled to buggery that there's a new book from Robert Newman on the way, I'm reading The Trade Secret from 2014. Addictive. #Booksky

I've only ever read one baseball novel, which was David Duchovny's Bucky Fuckin' Dent. Lovely stuff. #booksky #baseballsky
Relatable.
Such excitement at Flaneur Towers this weekend when we learned, quite by chance, that there's a new novel from Robert Newman next month! If you've never had the pleasure, try The Fountain at the Centre of the World or The Trade Secret.
One of the greats. @profilebooks.bsky.social
Now THAT's a cover!

Jamie McThackeray wouldn't appear at a literary festival under any circumstances, right?
Right??
