So the @wsj.com just published what looks like a very thoughtful review on my book about #DouglasAdams - but I don't have a subscription to the WSJ, so can't read it! Help?

PS: the last time I was a guest speaker of the Royal Geographical Society, I accidentally told an untruth which has haunted me for 20 years. I will endeavor not to repeat that this time.

I'm a little terrified at the size of this auditorium and even more amazed how few tickets are left. Looking forward to discussing #DouglasAdams with @robinince.bsky.social @lucycooke.bsky.social @realbaddiel.bsky.social / #booksky

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

There's a story behind this #DirkGently #Pride #LGBTQIA+ #Comic 1-shot. I've never told the story. It involves censorship, love, J.K.Rowling and the BBC.

I wonder if it's time I told it? #LoveIsLove

It was! Though I'd say they didn't go all that deep, but fascinating on the auteur theory.
