Out in the back garden with the dogs watching the aurora over The Kingdom of Fife Faintly visible with the naked eye but nowhere near as strong as the one a few years back #Aurora

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

Best of 2000ad cover drawn by me. From the point of view of someone on the floor, holding their hands in front of them (one of which is a robotic replacement), Judges Anderson and Dredd stand over the viewer and point their guns towards them.  Behind the judges, we can see lots of huge tower blocks.

kind of amazing that but techbros have destroyed the popular empathy many of us have had for space exploration and plucky lil guys. anyway, Good Night Oppy is a fabulous documentary full of beautiful imagery that might help brighten your Saturdays with some "my battery is low and it's getting dark"

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

As kids we were encouraged to put a penny in any RNLI collection box we passed because we had family in the Merchant Navy and others in the many fishing towns along the north east coast There is no higher calling than to risk your life to save others

Did a couple of hours up at the allotment yesterday. Cleaned out the greenhouse cucumbers, pulled the last cauli’ (mouldy) and put the covers on the largest beds The Brussel sprouts are looking good as are the leeks Brought home 2 large pumpkins, some apples and a few rasp’s for the dogs 🌱

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.
