Song of Kali reads like a TripAdvisor rant that accidentally became a novel — whiny American horrified that India isn't Ohio. Genuinely shocked the same person wrote Hyperion. Less shocked he doubled down on the racism and insularity later in life.

Dan Simmons Is Dead, So It's Time To Read 'Hyperion' | Defector Call it the Orson Scott Card problem. You want to recommend a piece of sci-fi to a friend, but you know that if you do, you’ll have to include the disclaimer that the author’s politics are…

Dan Simmons is dead, so it’s time to read ‘Hyperion’:

so just hypothetically, if a kid doesn't really know how much money is in his dinosaur bank, and if he lost a tooth today, and if his parents don't carry cash, and it's a bit late to go out and get some....how bad would it be for the tooth fairy to rob the bank and put the proceeds under his pillow?

The dinosaur bank could lend the money to the tooth fairy at their best overnight interest rate. This can often be quite high.

I don't think any of my dreams would pass a health and safety inspection.

Okay, we have a new Khamenei in charge, mission accomplished, let’s go home.

These idiots are angling for another Shah.

I must be hitting the #manopause because not only did I spot this book and think "ooh that's looks interesting" but it was interesting!

My first non-fiction book contains an 1887 homoerotic boozy bath scene between two jacked bareknuckle boxers the morning after they hit each other for two and a half hours in a French field. Please buy it. Also please someone ask me to talk about it, saucily, on a podcast.

20 years since I wrote Operation Clone Jesus.
A simple tale of a dumb American president starting oil wars in the Middle East, with a dash of AI, Aliens & Armageddon.
But those were simpler times 🙄😔

Thank you so much to @helenhayes.bsky.social for hosting a #WorldBookDay debate in Westminster Hall yesterday!

She brilliantly outlined the benefits of reading for pleasure and how it can support bonding and attachment between a child and their caregiver. (1/4)

I say this for a reason. Right after the illegal invasion, US media reported that America and Israel had reverse-engineered the Shahed drone and had essentially identical copies of it. Evidence suggests these suspicious strikes are coming from Lebanon—where the IDF is positioned.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

Ta-Da! I Built a Life Tracker That Won’t Guilt Trip Me.. Or You. How 4,322 days of meditation led me to build a kinder more joyful life logger.

I started 2026 resolving to learn to sing and avoid To Do lists. Rather than doing either of those i wrote an app that makes those both easier. And plenty more besides. Cheers robots 🤖🙏

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

INDEPENDENT Playgrounds would become 'crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

It is wild that UK Labour is trying to sell Ronald Reagan’s drug policy in 2026.

Countries that do not embrace AI could be left behind, says OpenAI’s George Osborne Without AI you will be a ‘weaker and poorer nation’, says former UK chancellor two months into job at US firm
