The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

There are more words in this strip than a latter day Hunter x Hunter page, and just as many esoteric callbacks

My mentor at work surprised me with a very cool gift this week, after I told him a few months ago I’d missed out on a decent condition copy of Dreadfleet. This one is sealed. Sealed! Almost feels like a crime to take it out of the wrapping.

I liked superhero films better when the opening credits was a camera flying through DNA/cells/atoms/assorted super fluids while a brassy overture blew your ears off.

Read The Last Unicorn this week. Incredible book. Such an outrageous command of language that inspires awe and beauty and laughter. Feels a little bit like Pratchett, and a little bit like Le Guin, while still being something wholly unique.

The breakup
Three panel comic. Panel 1: the Beatles are embroiled in argument in their later era. George says to John, who is laying in bed with Yoko, “John— stop bringing Yoko to the studio!” Panel 2: George turns to Paul McCartney, who is seated with his bass guitar and a cigarette. “Paul, you’ve become a control freak!” Panel 3: George turns to Ringo, who is seated at his drums and wearing the Venom/Spiderman alien symbiote suit. George says with exasperation, “Ringo… lose the symbiote.” Symbiote Ringo replies “calm down, mate.”

Recently finished the 'new' models and am feeling like I've hit the end of the road with deepkin (for now...) so with a bit of help from @ghbair.bsky.social took a snap of my entire collection. Definitely the army I am most happy with!

The Xbox price rises are an absolute joke. £500 for a console with 512gb of storage that can barely play the games being released on it. The factors that have lead to this rise are also entirely within Microsoft’s control. Clown shit.

A scene from The Odyssey where Penelope stands before the suitors, but Tim Robinson has been added in. It’s a reference to I Think You Should Leave. Penelope says “Ronnie, I feel like you’re just here for the zip line” and Tim Robinson says “what?”

Quite conflicted on The Odyssey, but ultimately glad it exists. Sound design is wonderful and the costume design for Agamemnon is extremely good. Flat affectation in the dialogue really didn’t do it for me though, only Pattinson gets to act.

Grimes once said it was her favourite SciFi book, which given the plot… you have to wonder when she read it, and if at any time in the past decade she’s reflected on that.

Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming issue about dart frogs. They were interviewing the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen and liked the comic. They mailed me a copy, which just arrived:

I am reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds, and got to the first mention of the concept of Revelation Space and about 100 Kindle users have underlined it. Like finding a library copy of a book with the sentence featuring the title underlined three times.

A Few Notes On The Culture by Iain M Banks
This article was posted to newsgroup rec.arts.sf.written on 10 Aug 1994 on behalf of Iain M Banks by Ken MacLeod.

Luke Shaw @lukeshaw.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
Banks provided a view of the future where gender was fluid, life was supported by post-scarcity, society was malleable and shifting, and billionaires/oligarchs on planets outwith The Culture were routinely viewed as ugly problems to be solved so their respective civilisations could flourish

MARK TAIT
Mark Tait, who lives near Durham, tells the BBC the bus fare cap will make little difference to him.
"This is great if you use the bus, but no good for those who drive. Yet again, the working class person is left out," Tait says.

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1
