You're getting those book club scam emails too?

Like many authors, I’m bombarded by scam fan mail. I wasn’t prepared for what would happen when I wrote back
The novelist receives passionate AI-written emails almost every day – but when he decided to take up one sender’s offer to find him new readers, the story took a darker turn

Got bored with the biscuit selection today and then realised, I buy the biscuits because I’m the one who mostly eats them, so I can change the selection any time I want, and that genuinely fills me with excitement for tomorrow

Just found out yesterday that we’ve lost one of our finest character actors, and by all accounts a lovely human. RIP Richard Riehle.
I’m so very sad to hear about the passing of the wonderfully mustachioed character actor Richard Riehle. He was a delightful guy and I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing him twice, but we were also Facebook friends and traded many messages and comments over the years.

1/x Two of the best-known coats on any high street began as working kit for sailors on cold decks. Both carry names from my little corner of the North Sea: Duffel, a small town near Antwerp, and the Dutch word "pij". The story of the duffel coat and the peacoat. #maritimehistory

Stuck on 9 to 5 (Netflix) the other night and can confirm it still absolutely slaps. After a big speech by Dolly our 8 year old admiringly said “well she’s got a big personality”. She sure does.

Once a tiny garden spider raised its front legs at me as I passed, thinking I was a threat. It looked so furious, I just went “okay, I’m going”, and I’m sure later it told all its spider friends “yeah, I scared off that big pink bitch, he’s lucky I didn’t kick his ass”, and I love that for it

If you can live your life in a way that causes a global outpouring of love when you die, it does two things: 1) inspires more people to follow your example, and 2) reminds a few people that they will very much not get that same reaction, and that maybe they need to change.
