This is what happens when a GFOP hits the road for three months in search of pints and pies and the soul of JonJo Shelvey. My new book could not have happened without you. I raise a steaming cup of Bovril to [email protected]

For fans of @tedlassobelieve.bsky.social and @welcometowrexham.bsky.social, this rollicking travel memoir by a middle-aged Midwesterner is a hilarious and heartfelt journey through the United Kingdom, its football clubs, and the rich traditions of English football culture.

Ever wonder what it would feel like to travel for three months in search of the heart of English football? Yeah, me too. Relegated @simonandschuster.bsky.social May, 2026

So, we'll see ya on Saturday, yeah?

And remember: Friends don't let friends buy stuff from Am@zon.

Algorithms don't throw parties, Indies do.

Amazon announced their annual book sale that conveniently overlaps with independent bookstore day. Dicks.

If Amazon wants to go toe to toe with indies, good luck to them. We do it better.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Happy anniversary to one of the all-time great @mcsweeneys.net. But stop it. I never wanted to move to Brooklyn. My comments are always questions, & high-top Chucks absolutely hurt my feet & back, except when I’m wearing Icebreaker socks. As for word counts & artisanal whiskey, get off my lawn 😂

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.

With all apologies to the other nominees but everyone in my family thinks James is a masterpiece.
