Nick Park spent the '80s making A Grand Day Out mostly alone. It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times. But Park stuck with it and fulfilled his dream of bringing a cinematic feel to stop motion. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/wallace-an...

This is why I get so frustrated by my neighbours in our Tweeddale village whose only political activism seems to be focused on ensuring their nice views aren't spoiled by pylons. We need new interconnects because the lack of them is driving up our electricity bills.

My dream is that Europe/Canada and the UK just build all their own tech systems to replace those owned by the US oligarchs. Short term pain for long term “avoiding being held at gunpoint by US oligarchs.”

My new trainee just gave me the most AI-generated document I have ever seen. I asked him to design a risk management questionnaire, i read the first question, asked him what it meant, and he immediately said, “You’re right, it’s a bad survey. I will rework it.” Wow, he even apologised like an AI.

So much wrong with this, but it's the "denies me my Asian heritage" that gets me the most. If she really feels that way, okay. Sad but okay. But it's an insult to all the people - like me! - who have no issue reconciling their immigrant heritage and English identity, and are equally proud of both

Regular reminder that JG Ballard’s final novel, “Kingdom Come” (2006), is about a far-right English town which creates their own militarised breakaway state in a shopping mall, where they worship the gods of St George and consumerism. Old JG wrote it as tongue-in-cheek satire. At the time.
