Only publisher ever to publish books on the Radiophonic Workshop, Edinburgh at night, Gurney Slade and that Typhoo Tea Doctor Who book.

Never published a book in Arial or using any form of AI.
Really lovely letter from Social Bite (annoyingly still on the child porn site but not on here) thanking us for our pre-Xmas donation.

And thanks for us all too, to everyone who bought the last Cushing book!

The new Black Archive, available in paperback and ebook format for the price of a coffee, is now on the site to pre-order (out in early Feb). Phil Purser-Hallard looks at THE ARK, the First Doctor story which is basically two stories with one set!

@obversebooks.co.uk do a great guide book to the topic, also called Downtime. SEE IT'S A PUNE OR PLAY ON WORDS

Obverse know their stuff here as they also produce modern incarnations of the same thing - I enjoy their Faction Paradox material.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened."

REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.

Grow a spine.

Saying "Some TERFs made their own awards called "TERFies" & voted Donald Trump "Best Politician (Non-UK)"" would get you accused by "Reasonable Moderates" of making up stuff to smear their side but they actually did it.

They had even more Awards than this & they get more & more unhinged.
the terfies have been awarded.

( the terfies are annual bigotry awards the terfs hand out )

anyway i couldn't stop laughing when i noticed that @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is their pick for worst politician in the entire uk. even i don't think that and she's literally persecuting me.

An excellent review of Finn Clark's latest Times Mosaic book, covering the latter Tennant era (plus the 60s and 70s Dalek books!)

'I really can't recommend this book enough'

Why not be like this reviewer and check the rest of the series out too!

Just a wee reminder that the final Obverse Christmas order date is Wednesday 17th December.

We'll still ship books after that if you order them, but the Royal Mail do not think they'll get to you in time for Christmas Day.

However, most books on the website are reduced all the time as a thanks for buying direct.

Racists dislike being called racist so much, they will try to silence the people calling them - completely accurately - racists.

Which does at least suggest that Farage and the other racist leaders of the racist Reform Ltd understand that most British people are not, in fact, racists themselves.

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"

I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.
Why does nationality matter, anyway?
Deciding someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is a bit weird

Nothing as feminist as basing whether women can use the toilets on if they're hot or not.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.

This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.

Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.
