Adding another example to my collection of that’s-not-a-cat vase images. More like a cross between a chihuahua (that skull) and a kid in a monkey suit.

A nice set of alternatives, tho arguably buying from Apple or Google is about the same difference as from Amazon, ethically speaking.

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

Rise of copiers also freed wives from being unpaid typists of duplicate copies. No wife? Find yourself a female student and get her to do it. Even copying was laborious, tho, at first, hence need for editorial assistants.
Free book idea in a footnote in Laura McGrath's "Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction": how the mid-20th century rise of the Xerox machine enabled the rise of simultaneous submissions and changed book publishing (among other shifts in communication technology).

So much attention spent on AI that folks have missed the issue of demonically possessed software. InDesign, looking at you. Number of 'help' sites that attest to brokenness of threading text boxes, sheesh. Not even gonna talk about footnotes, or what you do to fonts. Demons, all the way down.👹👹👹

Tom does 3 things to perfection: makes unexpected links, like jumping dogs and interstellar wormholes; creates characters of amazing complexity (human and other, like badgers and cats); and presents the nonrational as if utterly normal. No word is wasted; all belong on the page. Read all his books.
“A unique voice, tone and heart.” Everything Will Swallow You has been chosen as one of the top ten paperback releases so far of 2026 by this week’s Bookseller Magazine.
