Suppose it'd be remiss of me not to exploit a new social media platform to try and flog a few books. So, if anyone's interested,here's a clip from the audiobook version of my 2015 novel The World Is (Not) A Cold Dead Place, which came out last year, on Audible.

The higher up the ladder the flag is, the more patriotic it is.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

Add “up your arse” to a film or song.

Goldfinger Up Your Arse.

Christ, I’m pissed.

A good news story for a change. Hope the cunt suffered terribly in his final moments.

Oat milk works pretty well steamed. Your lattes, your cappuccinos, your cortados etc.

Now me and Mrs O'H are gonna do the entire Coen brothers filmography, in chronological order (up until Oh Brother Where Art Thou? at least).

Introduced the boys to the greatest film of all time last week, fortunately they liked it so I didn't need to kick them out on the street.

88 years to the day since Oswald Mosley got his fascist kite rearranged with a load of bricks when he foolishly tried to flog fascism to Liverpool. Remember, violence against Nazis is always entirely justified.

Poor Woolfinder. He takes more online abuse than a liberal female journalist on X.

Another one for the bucket list. To stand on the edge of a large crowd, throw a pastéis de nata and see how many heads i can skim it off.

My new ambition in life is to walk into a casino with handfuls of Oreo and ginger cream biscuits, place them down at the roulette table and say, 'everything on black, my good man.'

Prancing like a tit.

He's certainly the most 'High Performance' managers in the premier league. By which I mean he manages to combine being very weird with being boring as all fuck.

Nathan O'Hagan @nathanohagan.bsky.social · 5d

I'd say he's more of a Brent/Jake Humphrey hybrid.

If I win, I intend to just run off with my arms extended, shouting 'gerrin there', never to be seen again. Just to add to the mystique.

This has got to be the shittest ventriloquist's dummy act ever.

It's always gratifying to have one's work recognised like that.

That's lovely. I hope you invested that mini cheddar wisely.

And, when i lose, I reserve the right to fake an epic meltdown and attempt to tip the table over until I'm launched out by security.
