Getting to have a short but super interesting chat with Grant Morrison about 007 First Light is probably about as clear an indication of how fucking weird my 2026 has been so far, especially because tomorrow's exciting follow up is... me going to the dentist for a routine check up.

Not being able to publicly disclose which companies I currently work for turns every message on LinkedIn into a hilariously useful Voight-Kampff test. No, Mr 'I clearly used a bot script to send my request and didn’t read your profile', I don't think your pitch will be "relevant for NDA" at all

As someone who's worked on game announcement shows, mass live reactions are almost always painful. Generally speaking, most peeps just want more of what they already know, but slightly new (as with most modern media). Which makes it so hard to cut through the depressing feeling of malaise.

Transformers was one of the first comics 4-year-old me ever read, and a big reason why I'm a writer - so it's a double delight to buy a book on its fandom, crafted by a writer who has influenced me over the past 20 years (and who is also a total all-round gent). Thanks @jroberts332.bsky.social!
