Always curious how a book can be #1 best seller when the release date is in the future? 🤔

I assume that refers to the author? Unless the pre-sales are off the charts already.

"The number one best seller"? Bit presumptuous.

Probably referring to Mick Herron. In which case, it's not.

Yes, they do. It is so frustrating hearing them trying to justify themselves but also entertaining. I know it's wrong to laugh at ignorance, but it helps keep me sane

I feel very sad that people feel they can spout such vileness on a radio station. It makes me fear for the future. So many of them…

They don't realise they are vile. When I get saddened by such things, I remind myself that opinions are never wrong it is the assumptions that their opinions are based on that are wrong. It gives me hope that we can change the narrative. But hope is one of life's survival instincts

Speaking of ZEUS. The female Bond debate. Tenuous connection I know but one that should not be ignored. As both are classic mythic beings, it follows that if a woman could be BOND a woman could be ZEUS. Why have Classicists been excluded from the debate? Have Classicists been cancelled / ghosted ?
