Communities need used-book shops.

As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories...

We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

Any writers out there looking for a first class editor/proofreader? I can highly recommend Ben Corrigan [email protected]. Meticulous, tactful, with a real understanding of language and literature. His rates are very reasonable and he’s a pleasure to work with.

In French and Spanish hotels,you can still open the windows, wide. No two-inch or five-inch restraints as in UK. I'm going to say that again: you can open the windows FULLY. Fresh air!

How sad for the Pope that one of his very last visitors was the ghastly JD Vance.

I don't think I really understood what 'gaslighting' meant until I watched the disgraceful, disrespectful bullying of President Zelensky in the Oval Office today. Shame on Trump and Vance. Long live Ukraine. The UK and Europe have to support Zelensky and Ukraine - and Europe.
