Am permanently slightly disappointed to find Bodø/Glimt are a Norwegian footy team and not a harsh minimal techno duo with an exciting new 12" dropping via Sähkö.

I've finally found the time to watch recordings of some @nawewriters.bsky.social conference sessions and they're fabulous. I particularly love Chris Rose on Paratopia which, should we choose to see them, offer : 'a chance to reimagine and reenchant our environments.'🤩 #magical #inspirational #NAWE

28 December 1795 In protest over the suppression of public meetings for the discussion of political grievances, a ‘Thinking Club’ was formed at the Coopers’ Arms Manchester. 300 people joined that first meeting and were silent for an hour.

Srsly, a brilliant show. Williams, Slate, @robdelaney.bsky.social et al (Robby Hoffman!) really knocked it out of the park. I plan to write about it in my book on female scepticism, which will hopefully be finished sometime this decade. Shit, I guess that means I'll have to resubscribe to Disney+.

If you are still looking for a "stocking filler" please bear in mind that "The Anechoic Chamber" is a slimline A-format paperback, so it fits snugly in a standard men's sock or the pocket of a winter coat. This also means savings on wrapping paper, postage, etc. and it's only £9.99.
