"As rich and as vibrant in detail as any of Shakespeare’s plays, Thieves’ Castle has it all — warring houses, intrigues, violence, love, death, a spymaster, & a plot that will keep you up until late into the night" #Histfic #TudorTuesday amzn.to/2m6u6GX

A review of Black Dog by Dean Hamilton @Tyburn__Tree A Tyburn Filos bookreviewsandmore.ca/2026/0… Novella Writing short fiction is a very different skill than long form fiction. Hamilton has proved a master of the shorter form and I look forward to exploring his novels. In some ways this reads Elizabethan Age Jack Reacher or John Wick. Tyburn won't let a bully get away with being a thug, and he killed a dog! This is a great novella and it leaves you wanting more. Fortunately it is followed by 2 novels. This is great historical fiction. An action story I can easily recommend. #HistoricalFiction #BookReview

Well, I'm done. Can't stay on this platform any longer. I'll be shifting over to Blues*y & shuttering my acct here for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the writers, historians, journalists, & fabulous creators who, for a time, made this a great platform. But things change...

The last few years on this platform have steadily eroded the content, lending impetus to people's worst impulses. It has steadily become a hotbed of misinformation, political extremism, racism, misogyny, overt Nazism & just plain nastiness. It has crept into every corner...

...in plain sight, and continued denial of this is to embrace that fact. But at the end of the day, it's just a social media site, a bad one now, thanks to Elon. So Kodi and I are departing to bluer skies and green fields. Feel free to look us up. All the best!

It will be interesting to see if defenestration rates mysteriously start to go up among unwilling/uncooperative oligarchs and opposition figures in Trump's America.... I mean, just sayin'...

Hey @MarkJCarney, here’s an idea on how to deal with the Trump tariffs. Worth a long look!

Five years ago, Trump touted his "big, beautiful" replacement for NAFTA, the "free trade agreement" between the US, Mexico and Canada. Trump's NAFTA-2 was called the USMCA (US-Mexico-Canada Agreement) and it was pretty similar to NAFTA, to be honest. 1/

Walking the dog. Kodi sticks his head into a seemingly random bush & comes out with a frozen waffle. 10 min later - sticks his head into another random bush & comes out with half a bagel. If we find anything else on this walk, I'm going to take it as a sign and go for brunch.

Re-watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the Ben Stiller version. I know its not a "great" movie, but it is beautifully shot and edited and damn it, it gives me hope. And hope is scarce these days.
