Step away for a bit if you can. It is incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

This is really good. The piece on Saruman is a wildly dissembling bit of corporate PR but huge fun. The piece on Tyrion? Is just and true.

Happy UK release day to THE DEVILS! I interviewed @joeabercrombie.com about creating this raucous grimdark fantasy about a group of misfit monsters on a dangerous mission, how he designed its alternate-history world, wrote the distinctive voices of the Devils, his work on the sequel, and more:

Interview: Joe Abercrombie talks The Devils, grimdark fantasy humor, Best Served Cold and more

Sometimes holy work requires unholy deeds, a fact which the cast of misfits at the heart of Joe Abercrombie's new book The Devils knows all too well. Abercrombi

Yep £27K as a manager in 1998. This is so depressing. I saw that as a good salary then! It isn't now.

No! I will be scrupulously choosing where I source all my chicken from and will not choose chicken products from the supermarket or restaurants unless they are sourced British

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

One thing to consider is what education would look like if it were free with no grades and no punitive frameworks that make learning about fear.
