It is not admirable to waste your life. Sorry.

I'm sorry why we do have masked fascists just standing around Dover completely unbothered? If these were Just Stop Oil pensioners, the tanks would have already been deployed www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Port of Dover delays: Miles of traffic as protesters block roads

Traffic is being stopped from going in and out of the port because of a demonstration by a large group of masked protesters, with ferry services operating with some delay.

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1. I like the way Snrub thinks! 2. My cat's breath smells like cat food 3. Money can be exchanged for goods and services 4. I for one, welcome our new insect overlords 5. I don't recall saying good luck

Nothing more cringe than sports live-text commentators saying 'and now that's me signing off, here's Dave Ferret to take over.' Nobody cares. It's not an airport, you don't need to announce your departure. You're a glorified social media intern. Post the sports updates and go away quietly

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.

The coverplate of the book HOOKLAND FRAGMENTS VOLUME ONE by David Southwell featuring a picture of the Ghost Bear of Hookland by Maria Strutz and the following blurb:

I firmly believe David Southwell’s Hookland to be one of the great
imaginative achievements of our age. One that will one day be
spoken of the way Lovecraft’s Mythos is now. Hookland is the
folklore of the county that exists on the edge of our vision, an
unseen but sensed Britain that is at once familiar and strange.
It is the land just to the left of where we live. David’s work is
made even more remarkable by his open invitation for all to
come and play there. Though of course visitors to Hookland
must be wary, the county exacts its price from us all. – R.J.
Barker, award-winning author of bestsellers such as The Bone
Ships and Gods of Wyrdwood.

As a visitor I am more frequently in Hookland than the barrows
and chalk downs of my childhood. – Roger Clarke, best-selling
author of A Natural History of Ghosts.

Hookland is gold standard eldritch world building. – Ian
Simmons, Fortean Times news editor.

This a shimmering place of deep time, cold wars, old gods and
ever renewing mysteries.The heartland and home county of the
restless and the outsider, a lamp glow to welcome the lost, a
pole star for those who dare to step into the dark and follow its
glorious glowing ghostlight. – Rose Ruane. Artist and writer of
Birding and This Is Yesterday.

Hookland has been called many things. Psychic shrapnel
embedded in place. A re-wilding of folklore. The English Eerie
told in strange fragments. According to its creator David
Southwell, nothing in Hookland is made up, just remembered
differently.

Hookland Fragments Volume One offers both an introduction to
Hookland and an exploration of its agenda of re-enchantment
as resistance.

My favourite correction:

Correction
THERE was an error printed in a story titled
Pigs float down the Dawson" on Page 11 of yesterday's Bully.
The story, by reporter Daniel Burdon, said
"more than 30,000 pigs were floating down the Dawson River".
What Baralaba piggery owner Sid Eve-ringham actually said was "30 sows and pigs", not "30,000 pigs"
The Morning Bulletin would like to apologise for this error, which was also reprinted in today's Rural Weekly CQ before the mistake was known.

Morning, bitches! Here’s the secret: Your success in life is dependent on how many uncomfortable conversations you’re willing to have, how little you’re willing to compromise your idea of what you should be doing, and how comfortable you can be being the only one that believes you’ll succeed.

A few nerds found out that language is statistically predictable and that large enough libraries of language tokens will show interesting emergent properties that look like reasoning, logic and empathy and decided that with enough tokens it will somehow become AGI. It's so aggravating.
