Just what we need. A Dr Who show where the Daleks are the heroes 🤦‍♂️

I’m happy to help if you’re happy to forget about my typo!

What do call someone who applies a demand-side solution to a supply-side problem? Personally, I’d call them a fucking idiot, but apparently the correct answer is: the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Well, I was already tempted to watch this, but now? It’s a definite. I read ‘Careless People’ for the same reason and holy shit, I can see why Meta wanted it banned.

Bought that issue the week it was released. Man, I feel old …

Darren Nash @darrenanash.com · 20/09/2026

Just bought it yesterday! Looking forward to reading it.

He might be a fascist, but dammit, he’s a polite British fascist. 🎩

Having spent almost two decades immersed in the British SF scene, is my sorry duty to inform you that this particular gentleman has been a right-wing dickwad for quite some time. Thus, this Musk-fellating does not surprise me.

Also: almost everything that he’s criticised for was his own novel contribution to the craft. Those pauses in dialogue that people mock him for – that was a new and fresh technique at the time.

Have they considered just, you know, not saying things that are ridiculous?

Apparently I’m the only one in the house who knows that food can go back into the same cupboard, fridge or freezer it came out of. Now, what to do with this arcane knowledge … ?🤔

Reason # 1,743 why the next Democratic administration needs to regard working for ICE as an indictable offence.

Hey, @microsoft.com, your Word application is garbage. If I wanted to only edit the last character in a Comment, I’d move the cursor there, myself. Sort your fucking lives out.

Ha. Like JV Dunce could keep up with Joe Biden. LOL.

Unpack almost immediately. Can’t bear to have luggage lying around.

First day of spring, 21C and sunny. I’m sitting outside, reading editorial queries and sipping T2 Melbourne Breakfast Tea. That’ll do, Donkey. That’ll do.

Indeed. I’m guessing that makes reading the newspaper of a morning an extremely stressful experience. Whatever fate you wish upon him (the secretary of war crimes), I hope he gets ten times worse.

100

Indeed. It’s evil morons all the way down.

I hope so too! At the moment, I can, but there’s a whole year for things to unravel, and if the 2020s have taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. So … 🤞

I wasn’t in a position to attend, anyway, but even if I could have, I wouldn’t. No way I’d be allowed in the country with my social media record!

But that’s the good type of exhausted. I really miss post-Worldcon fatigue. Next year, hopefully 🤞

"Do you think we're fucking stupid?" Look, don’t ask questions you don’t want to hear the answer to.

There’s a headline I didn’t have on my 2026 bingo card. ‘The former Barclays boss Jes Staley has denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White… “No, I did not,” Staley said.’ He later added: “I had no contact with any women because for the entire evening in question I was feeling Sleepy.”

But tell me again how it’s hyperbolic to describe the Trump administration as fascist.

Leaving aside the monstrously unethical aspect of AI, I can’t think of a single thing I’d trust it to do. It’s genuinely frightening how many people are happy to outsource their thinking.

Had lunch with some friends we only see once a year or so and it seems all of them have been using AI in their daily life. I can’t be the only one who’s never knowingly used the plagiarism machines, can I?

Today in Clacton, thousands of people turned out to vote for a joke candidate whose stories about his past defy credulity. And Count Binface also received more than 25% of the vote.

My youngest daughter is out at a 90s party and I’ve just realised that that’s the same as me going to a 50s party. In unrelated news, if anyone has a zimmer frame they’re looking to get rid of, I might have a buyer for it.

Yes. And not very much amber. Not very much at all.

I have Eisteddfod PTSD from my time at a Christian Brothers school (don’t worry; they didn’t) when I was forced to participate in a school-wide event. “You’re entering the Eisteddfod, here’s the (terrible) poem you’re reading. Put some feeling into it”. Awful. But glad to hear yours was enjoyable!

But … but … but … I play cricket. We don’t have batting cages! I guess it’s water balloons at ten paces …

Why would you make a wig that looked like *that*?

No beanballs but I don’t agree. I enjoyed all three seasons, although I did think there was too much packed into S3 – all the subplots felt rushed and none more so than Nate’s whirlwind betrayal & redemption. The novelty of S1 was unsustainable but the sheer humanity carried across the entire show.
