Not leaving here quite yet, but have set up camp over on the other side too. Still finding my feet, but do come and find me if you’re that way inclined: bsky.app/profile/annaframe.b…

Notable thread from Paul Webster on the potential sale of the Observer, the paper of which he was editor until last week. It's a pretty extraordinary step for him to speak his thoughts in this way...
21 Nov 2024
Here's why I think the proposed sale of the Observer to Tortoise would severely damage the reputation of the Scott Trust and threaten the future of the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, which I edited until last weekend 🧵

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. The most important book you'll read next year. If I annotated, every word would be underlined. A coursebook, a seminal text, a desert island discs book. Preorder it and buy five for your friends. 🇵🇸

Noticeable change at my local Tesco - these bays used to reach down to the ground, but are now designed to hold fewer baskets.
My assumption is that they’re anticipating shortages of fresh veg, but I don’t want to leap to false conclusions. Anyone have any other suggestions??

Soon we will be exhausted by Fascism. So why exhaust each other? Here’s me telling @newint the magic formula for how to resist. newint.org/democracy/2024/fa…

I couldn't be more delighted to see the brilliant @Jdcrawf at the helm of this new @BBCRadio4 book show, recording in Glasgow weekly.
(My previous concerns about the lack of space on radio for new and midlist voices do remain, but I'm very much hoping to be proved wrong...!)

Four photographs for Remembrance Sunday:
1) My grandmother’s British Army regiment, for whom she drove trucks in WW2
2) Her father’s WW1 German regiment, torn in two and taped back together
3) That same great-grandfather’s release papers from the British internment camp… >>

<<…into which he was placed, having fled Nazi persecution for his Judaism.
4) The diary kept by my Scottish grandfather, while a prisoner of war in a German camp for 4 years. He’d go on to marry the daughter of German refugees, with whom he’d speak in the language… >>

<< …he learned from camp guards.
The simplification and valorisation of the stories of war does no one any good. And our governments and media claiming to commemorate them while wilfully ignoring their lessons is far worse.
Never again should mean never again.

Hey @SkyNews, why did you delete this honest and balanced report on Thursday night’s “pogrom” in Amsterdam?

"Your job is to replace your anger with attention."
In 2016, I heard @ETemelkuran at a media conference in Copenhagen full of shell-shocked Americans (and Brits still reeling from Brexit - a smirking Nigel Farage was also on the bill). Her words are even more important now.

“The dangerous bit happens through the change in the institutions. Keep your eye on the institutions.”
Wise words in today’s Guardian from @ETemelkuran, whose ‘How To Lose A Country: The Seven Steps From Democracy to Facism’ is absolutely vital reading.

The space for national print book reviews is really,
REALLY small. This post from @Matineegirl from @PrimaMag illustrates it. Thank you Nina and to all reviewers who spend hours reading, corralling thoughts, writing the columns. We are so grateful for the cheerleading. ❤️📖

Ah. There IS something worse than people loudly playing videos on the train.
It’s people loudly playing Christmas songs on the train. In November.

Tim’s book, Game Changers, is a truly fascinating deep dive into our relationship with games, why we love them, and the central role they’ve played in our social history.
It may not explain the US elections, but it has a huge amount to say about humanity and our relationships.

Um, so my book came out yesterday. It's in the world, in bookshops, on bedside tables. I'll still share stuff related to it but my most obnoxious banging on about it will decrease. I'm not a credible advocate for my own work. What matters now is if *other* people talk about it.

GT Karber (Murdle) called it “the best book on games I’ve read in years”.
As someone who grew up in a house where opening any cupboard risked a dice or pack of cards spilling out - and whose family still argues over disputed results from 25 years ago - I loved it too.

Hey friends. The book I spent the last 3 years working on, The Game Changers, is out in the UK today. It is all about tabletop games - boardgames, card games & roleplaying games - past & present, & how they help make us human. I hope it is interesting & hopeful & you enjoy it.

This is such a cracking shortlist. Not only my *brilliant* @publicitycircle colleagues, Deputy Chair @MzEvieMo and Secretary @LizScottPR, but also Canongate favourites @LynseyPassmore @TheMJAP Emily Cox and @RachelMayQuin. Congratulations to all (including those I don’t know)!
