A perennial favourite.

I reckon the bookshop was Galloway & Porter on Sidney Street in Cambridge. Showing my age there.

Poem by Clive James, published in te FT Weekend Magazine:

The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I am pleased.

Like a van-load of counterfeit that had been seized
And sits in piles in a police warehouse,
My enemy’s much-prized effort sits in piles
In the kind of bookshop where remaindering occurs.

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 3d

The state library system of Hawaii has banned "banned" books displays, enforcing the phrase "freedom to read." Of course, we like that phrase too, but used without context it obscures the problem. You can't win a fight by pretending there isn't a fight

Hawaii library system bans displays that refer to 'Banned Books Week,' rebrands to 'Freedom to Read'

Last week Lani Kawahara, who oversees the young adult section at Kauai’s largest library, set up her annual display to mark Banned Books Week, a national campaign that kicked off Sunday to spotlight…

Niche joke for a few of you: I recently moved from a basement apartment to one with windows and the difference in my cat tiktoks feels almost exactly like the difference between X-Files seasons 5 & 6

Sitting at the Media Desk and overheard a patron looking at new releases: "What is The Life of Chuck?? Who is this?!?!" and isn't that actually a pretty good description of the plot and themes of that movie??
