- Thu, 15:01: The Secret Visitors, by James White It's definitely a novel of its time; the galactic federation is interested in Earth, apparently, because our planet is unique in having a) an axial tilt and b) decent scenery. #nwbooks https://t.co/hsIV74LePc https://t.co/P2rlRLuFvC https://t.co/XsKqH0rbkU
- Thu, 15:36: Actors of the Century: a Play-Lover's Gleanings From Theatrical Annals, by Frederic Whyte It's very difficult to write about performances of long ago, by long dead actors. I think Whyte does it as well as is possible. #nwbooks https://t.co/plC46iZNWB https://t.co/ks8kwhtQHS https://t.co/MJZuDTI0fh

- Thu, 16:12: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand Rand's Objectivism is repulsive. Viewpoint characters tediously tirade against altruism; two-dimensional bad guys use evil concepts like equality and collective action to repress her heroes. #nwbooks https://t.co/eJ4etGsYzC https://t.co/VRxLxPnkaF https://t.co/OfCZXGx4zy

- Thu, 17:24: Jews vs Aliens and Jews vs Zombies, ed. Rebecca Levene and Lavie Tidhar Two short charity anthologies of short stories, doing more or less exactly what their titles promise. Very much worth reading. #nwbooks https://t.co/K9iI0JWs6y https://t.co/p9flu43jkr https://t.co/trdIRxEp6O
- Thu, 18:00: It Can't Happen Here, by Sinclair Lewis Unexpectedly timely to re-post this... The Trump administration is nothing like as competent as the Windrip administration - also nothing like as popular. But still very dangerous. #nwbooks https://t.co/gR0fkVE1t2 https://t.co/pYYI94cj5H https://t.co/aKA00kEtIX

- Thu, 23:24: @Christicorvus, you lost me right here at the start. Why should FST change at all, except to recognise new ward boundaries? It’s less than 400 electors off the UK quota. But you want to move 16,000 Dungannon voters out and 10,000 Tyrone voters in. Why? https://t.co/QGxcMvUIfp
