Writer. Scripts, but before that journalism. Still stumbles across a story every now and then. Makes swords and bows, fixes robots and likes cats. Even better in person. I have ADHD and who knows what else. He/Him.

There is a timeline where a Macklemore's gigs become a Live Aid style moment for the next generation. That's what Ed Sheeran is on the wrong side of, Live Aid 2026.

I phoned up a shop (reluctantly) to see if they had a book in shop. The young person on the other end of the phone acted like I was talking to them from a Ouija board.

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Seeing a lot of preening moralizing about Luigi, as if it's bold and novel to say stalking and murder are wrong. Of course they are. Try grappling with the morality and legality of nH Predict, a profitable war of attrition against rehab patients to whom UHC owed a duty. Shouldn't this be a crime?

If you aren't sure what to do for the eclipse, and have not got special glasses. Please take this tip. Stand under a tree, one with dappled light. When the eclipse happens LOOK DOWN. All the patches of light under the tree will turn into crescent moons and you will feel incredibly witchy.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

I’m hoping Christopher Nolan writes a scathing review of Wilson’s next translation project, let’s get a real feud going. “Her clumsy and consistent flattening of the gnomic aorist into a bare preterite utterly fails to capture the nuance of the original!”

Anyone fancy a night out Odyssey rules? * Have a standard trip to the pub * HOWEVER at home time, just pick a direction and start walking. * Have 3-6 episodic adventures * Aim to arrive home at 8am, but act like it's been twenty years * Be nice to any pets, especially dogs.
