Now I’m going to have to post something good enough to pin, aren’t I?

Fresh out in the world of #JustOverheard: in Waitrose just now I saw a small boy reach eagerly for a mini-Sellotape dispenser, followed by the words from his mum “No Tom, no Sellotape today”.

The problem with eating schnitzel is that after four mouthfuls you can’t remember a time that you *weren’t* eating schnitzel. It’s like Pilgrims Progress.

I loved Satantango. Can’t recall if I’ve completed anything else, but that’s a good one.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.

Pm says Britain has been squeamish about illegal immigration.

Cartoon: two people at a table with paper, rulers, pens, knives, a jam jar with tools in. Third person entering the scene. Person at the table says "Welcome to Book Binding Club. Please make yourself a tome". I don't know how well puns work with readers. It's two separate words, "a" and "tome". Would welcome any feedback on this.

He is (almost) uniquely interesting to read, particularly in (longish) smaller doses, but I sometimes have to stop myself to remember why I’m reading it. Solenoid was amazing- yet I didn’t finish it…

We all know it’s Porridge v. Seinfeld v. Reggie Perrin in the final so let’s hear no more of this shall we.

Martin Koerner @koernputer.bsky.social · 21d

Very good so far, fella wears his Proustfluence like a badge, but let’s see if I can finish it…

Blinding by Mircea Cărterescu. Long book.
