The more I think about it, the more Strange New Worlds feels the most like TOS in spirit, because they’re not aiming for TNG high-minded morality plays and just going all in on “what fun can we have this week?”

Just watched the Transformers: The Movie rerelease in a packed cinema where the audience was mostly balding men in their 40s wearing hoodies. The two guys next to us quoted about 60% of the movie aloud and sang along to the soundtrack. The film looked great though!

I’m what you’d call a very lapsed Manics fan but this book is great, especially as an excuse to revisit their early career. I finally understand why they were so intent on making Generation Terrorists sound like GnR, though no closer to thinking it was a good idea.

Short story I read as a schoolchild in the 80s or 90s. someone who can rewind time for a second go at things, but at the cost of cannibalising future time - ie they get to do an exam again knowing the questions but then they skip the equivalent amount of time at their birthday party. What is it?

COYOTE VS ACME was great fun but the biggest laughs were, of course, reserved for the slapstick of the Road Runner / Coyote scenes. Would happily have watched a movie of just that stuff.

A note re Warren Ellis: I've seen the narrative floating around that the process of transformative justice between Warren and SoManyOfUs fell apart for reasons outside of Warren's control, sometimes with an implication that these reasons were on the side of SMOU. This is not true.

I bought a niche recipe book on Amazon. When it arrived it turned out it was all US products and measurements so I requested to return it. Amazon just gave me the money and said keep the book. I am deeply confused now about how capitalism works.

Jon Ronson’s new book, THE CASTLE, is gripping. I absolutely blew through it. As with THE PSYCHOPATH TEST and SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED it feels like the stuff he’s thinking about in it - the intersection of economics, tech and masculinity - will be understood better because of his work.

Trying to go see Coyote Vs. Acme but the LATEST showing at our local Odeon and Cineworld is 6pm. It's like they went "well, it's a PG, so we're not going to put it on at a time when kids can't go". Yet again, I am forced to ask: do cinemas simply want to die?

Paramount Plus raising their prices by £2 a month is, to be brutally frank, a vast overestimation of how badly I want to pay monthly for no new episodes of Star Trek.

We watched REALITY BITES last night, a movie about a bunch of messy Gen X twentysomethings complaining that their lives are too directionless because they've rejected their parents' values but have none of their own. Absolutely impeccable 90s vibes, but boy they had no idea how good they had it.

Anna and I are watching Enterprise (she’s never seen it) and it’s so immediately crap. Not offensive, not stupid, just aggressively cheap and uninteresting and dull to watch. It’s been maybe 20 years since I’ve seen most of these episodes but they’re like Voyager eps without that cast’s charisma

Today I read Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming, a comic set immediately after Voyager’s finale. The FIRST thing that happens is that Voyager is hijacked and leaves Earth. I cannot tell you how much that was not the story I wanted to read (the final issue does show their welcome home party though)

My thoughts on Image publishing a new Warren Ellis book.

I have spent the day re-reading the entirety of SoManyOfUs.com, including every testimonial. I’ve also re-read dozens of documents and communications from the transformative justice action SMOU-TJ and Warren Ellis started. I wanted to remember the hope I held at that time. I also wanted to see if I could approach this moment with gratitude instead of anger.
To believe in transformative justice is to believe people capable of change. But, as our mediator said during the process, “transformation is heartbreak.” It is crushing and painful, but it is also our right as human beings. I haven’t spoken to Warren Ellis in over 6 years. I don’t know who he is now. I don’t know how he’s changed, but I’m sure he has. I know Warren read all of SoManyOfUs.com and I can’t imagine an outcome where doing so doesn’t change you. But, as Kai Cheng Thom says, “Change is inevitable, growth is optional.” I was often sad that Warren, when confronted with the consequences of his actions, didn’t react in the way I expected him to. But I am grateful it led to me untangling 15 years of complicated feelings and hurtful actions.
I’m grateful that I believe we can change and hold ourselves accountable in this world. But, quoting our mediator again, “being called to accountability feels like being reminded that your shit stinks. and coming clean is hard to do.” It can feel impossible to look in the mirror and confront the worst version of ourselves. Without having the necessary support systems in place to make it possible, I don’t blame or fault anyone for not being able to do it.
We all tried our best. When our attempt at a community accountability action failed, I was disappointed, but grateful that we tried. And grateful to know that Warren had tried, too.

I currently work as an editor in comics, with books I work on being published by Image. I love comics. I love the comics community and how we all keep making them despite it being so hard, with no financial security, and no safety nets. I see groups within the community doing so much good and fighting hard to make the industry more sustainable and safer for everyone involved.
But there is no set process for anyone in the comics community to account for our actions and change our behaviour after harm or abuse has happened. This has led many people to be forced out of the industry – victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. My heart hurts for all the people who were bullied, ostracized, shunned, or threatened out of this community, particularly those I spoke to back in June and July of 2020, impacted by Warren’s actions. I hope one day this changes.
I’m grateful to everyone who was wondered if Warren has “made amends to the satisfaction of all involved.” It shows me solidarity and care are widespread within comics. I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied, but I also would say I am no longer personally invested in Warren’s transformation.
I am personally invested in the books I work on that come out with Image, and I really hope you don’t take any disappointment you feel in Image’s actions out on the creators whose work they publish. Seeing people boycotting Image comics feels a cruel joke when that directly affects my livelihood and that of the people who respect and support me. But I get it – this seems like a financial decision from Image, so respond in a financial fashion. I hope we can all keep ourselves open to change in the future.
My resolve to expand my capacity to hope for change – after a night of anger and crying and shouting – is renewed. Thanks for hearing me out and for reading all of this.

For whatever reason I, until recently, had a copy of "Stars and Space" by Patrick Moore, from 1960. The sheer LOOK AROUND YOU energy coming off it is unmatched. I took photos of some illustations, I believe by Moore himself, before I gave it away and have to post them.
