Loren Ipsum is, by a wide margin, the most enjoyable novel I've read all year. Here's my review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social's mordantly witty debut in the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Looks like the place were I currently reside has been left with no phone service and we've been told it won't be back until 2026 because #o2 decided to take a mast down without telling anyone and can't bother putting up a new one. And my steady evolution into Tim Robinson continues unabated.

Short story waiting to be written here.
11 October 1889 Salford-born James Joule died. His work on energy and heat means his name is given to the unit of energy, the joule. In his early years of experimentation, he gave himself and his friends electric shocks and tested a battery on a servant girl until she passed out.
