“Extracts from National Highways report 1727a, subject M5 Interchange, author redacted, UK Home Office eyes only...” ‘The Interchange' is a story in the form of an official road infrastructure report and, people seem to agree, one of the standouts in this collection.

And breath…..if I’m a bit quiet on here this week it’s because I’m looking after my mother and not in my studio. Grabbing a moment to think about my work in the garden before it’s time to do the bedtime routine again 🩷

I have no idea if this is true but the collage kills me
A black lemur in a leafy tree with its mouth open as if singing, beside an inset photo of Pavarotti striking a similar pose. Text reads: “New research shows lemurs use operatic techniques when they sing, to reach high notes.” Classic FM.

Proposal: the fines levied on the water companies for serious environmental failure like this should be set at a sum equal to what the company paid in dividends + any executive bonuses, in the previous year (since this is a good estimate of the ‘spare’ money sloshing about) for a first offence …

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

I’ve seen the pitch document for The Day Today and it’s about a paragraph long. I paraphrase but: “This show worked brilliantly on the radio and we know what we’re doing.” A world in which that is a viable pitch document is something that we surrendered without a fight, which is so sad.

Thread on Dan Boultwood's victim who waives her anomity to talk about the experience. For those who didn't see the original reporting, this is the only significant coverage. Maddie says how she's disappointed there wasn't more public introspection and conversation over this, and she's right.

I still find it astonishing that Sir Ian Livingstone is the only person knighted for services to the UK games industry. Film, TV and sport are constantly recognised with knighthoods, yet one of Britain's biggest creative industries has had just one.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Sometimes the blurb is correct. This delicious almost-fairytale sits between Ursula Le Guin and Tove Jansson, and my only regret is that I've devoured it in two days. Any other Naomi Mitchison I should read?
The Virago Modern Classics edition of Travel Light by Naomi Mitchison, introduced by Samantha Shannon and with the blurb 'Read it now' – Ursula K. Le Guin. A cream cover, with an illustration of a young woman riding a black winged horse with a red dragon in the skies above.

The novel is better than the cover.
