Nobody expects the Spanish #Inquisition! Our chief weapon is #surprise… surprise and #fear… fear and surprise… Our two weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency… Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to the #Pope… Our four… no… Amongst our weapons… Amongst our weaponry… are such elements as fear, surprise… I'll come in again.

Returns as #DonaldTrump and crossbreeds #MontyPython with #MargaretAtwood.

@alisynthesis I hope you are right and there's even a chance of the country ever reuniting again.

From the outside looking in, it feels like the only viable future is a southern extreme Christian Nationalist country surrounded by the Northern States. Ironically just like Atwood predicted.

And much as that seems a great solution, the process of getting there doesn't.

“Poems Won’t Buy Beer”

Al Purdy is the patron saint of County Fence Bi-Annual and it could be said it was his poetry that inspired County Fence in the first place. Of course Al’s not alone, I also talk about Jules’ longest standing crush: Margaret Atwood. Ms. Atwood, if you’re listening, Jules would love it if you returned his calls.

Victoria Amelina died in July 2023 after a Russian missile hit a pizza restaurant in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. She was a journalist and novelist who documented the lives of women during the war, as well as working with children near the frontline. Now, her book, "Looking at Women, Looking at War" has been published. Here's an extract from the foreword by Margaret Atwood, published in LitHub. "Artists like Amelina help us to see, but also to feel. They serve as our eyes. Amelina’s talent as a novelist was of great service to her, and now it is of great service to us," writes Atwood.

#MargaretAtwood to #Publish #Memoir… Sort of

Good e-Reader · Margaret Atwood to Publish Memoir… Sort ofMargaret Atwood has never done things the usual way, and her upcoming memoir, Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts, proves that even when reflecting on her own life, she refuses to follow a traditional path. Set for release on November 4, 2025, by Doubleday in the United States, the book is a blend of personal history, memory and deep reflection. Known for her sharp intellect, dry humor, and genre-defying storytelling, Atwood initially hesitated to write a memoir at all. “My publishers made me do it,” she joked, dismissing the idea as potentially “boring.” But as with everything she touches,

Margaret Atwood has written a memoir, which will be out on Nov. 4. Why? "My publishers made me do it," the Canadian novelist told @Vogue in a new interview about the book. "When they first proposed it, I said, ‘Oh, that would be so boring.’ I mean, I wrote a book, I wrote another book, I wrote another book…Who’s going to read that?” Here's more on "Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts," plus Atwood's thoughts on what makes a good biography, "The Handmaid's Tale" and its pertinence, and Trump's fixation with making Canada the 51st U.S. state. "I think it’s lovely that the United States has recognized its mistake and wishes to join Canada so they can have a king,” Atwood says, “but it wouldn’t be the 51st state. It would be 10 new states and two territories, which would mean that the Republicans would never get elected again. So he’s welcome to try.”
