Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

When I post the Monsters of Ohio art, some dipshit will bray about it being "AI" despite my crediting the artist (Michael Koelsch), there being many examples of his work in the pre-"AI" era, and my long-established "No 'AI'" rule regarding my work. These "AI" finger-pointers can go fuck themselves.

The really excellent cover for "Monsters of Ohio," by Michael Koelsch. It has a tentacle monster using coupons!
