When the most important part of reshuffling the first four chapters is how to get the protagonist’s stuffed dinosaur where it needs to be.

Im echoing some of the local magpies’ calls to them, and getting some confused looks. Maybe its my accent?

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

Trip to bookshop today confirmed the Romantasy plague is still overrunning SFF shelves, alas. I did find what i was looking for though, after the super assistant hunted down a mis-shelved book - Scott Hawkins’ Blacktooth.

Well today saw the fifth squirrel caught in as many days. I must be getting them faster than they can breed, but im not entirely convinced.

The fluorescent light starter i just replaced is so old i dont recognise the symbols on it. I was checking for recycling, but i dont think that had been invented yet.

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.

Well, happy 29th anniversary to the greatest ‘reverse ferret’ ever issued by a media outlet

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

Good moment to say something nice about Binface I suppose. The thing is, he's really very funny. The whole thing would have worn out horribly if he wasn't. Just a genuine source of joy in an otherwise grey landscape.
