Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

In the donations pile this week. I like that the photos make it seem as though you risk going before a firing squad if your posture isn’t correct.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Heads up, I think tomorrow is the EMPTY Tony’s Chocolonely advent window. If you don’t want to think on your sins, ration out the two you’ve gotten today, but know you are a traitor to the cause.

My favourite bit of Nessie lore, though is the time in the 1970s when some firefighters decided they would lure the creature out with sex appeal, and fashioned a female monster from papier maché which they planned to float out onto the loch

Missed a few weeks in the shop because of work (and our tills went down across half-term so we had to shut) but here’s a BOY’S OWN ANNUAL from 1890, that was donated.
Bye now.

I have added some prints to my ko-fi page. It took a long time but I've found a good UK based print service to supply UK/Europe folks with bird portraits. Hahnemüle eco paper, 10+ colour giclee prints, if it wasn't my own artwork I'd say they look pretty good!

Falling asleep last night to a nice relaxing audiobook about north sea raiding between 950 and 1041 CE, but actually I can't relax because it's trying to tell me this silly guy was REAL??

It’s been a barren season for interesting book donations, but yesterday a bunch of those leatherbound ‘retirement home’ hardbacks came in, with these frontspiece portraits of various thriller authors.

So now that it’s confirmed that none of the messages on the bullets were pro-trans, maybe we should have a national conversation about how multiple newspapers repeated a lie about us on their front pages hours after doubts had already been cast over it?

Who is committing all these Naval Crimes? How are Naval Crimes so prolific? Are the Naval Crime stats being fluffed up somehow for bigger Naval Crimes budgets? (Should I be pitching NCIS:IA with that exact premise?)
