I was shocked to learn that Jeffrey Archer died before completing payment on the 3000 first-edition copies of my forthcoming FRANKENSTEIN REX, which he planned to buy in tribute to my excellence as a stalwart of UK SF.

David Suchet's Xitter tweet on the death of Jeffrey Archer, wherein he plugs his upcoming theatrical performance as Becket in Eliot's MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL, to which he and his wife had tickets.

Lovely. While if you're heading west on High Holborn and wait for the green cycle light where Drake Street joins, you will be sent to the lights turning red at Kingsway.

A lovely thing to wake up to; all the art in my feed from @2000ad.bsky.social’s #DayOfDredd that I missed yesterday… Still my favourite character — here’s a long thread of all the original Dredd art I’m lucky enough to currently own💥

Pals I see you sharing links to London Daily & need you to know it's AI bullshit. The Louise Michel is real, Banksy really funded it, but that started in 2020 & the LD link people are sharing is timestamped to today but written as if it's 2020 & elides all the actual journalism about it.

Screenshot reads as follows:

Welcome to London Daily, an innovative and unique news experiment driven by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

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.

The long & the short of it all is that literally no one has any idea where the name “Idaho” came from. It seems to have just… happened. That was, in fact, the earliest known sign that the entire region was a cursed place, a blasted land of sorrow.

The British gov't promised Hong kongers that charges they incurred from protesting in 2019 would not be held against them when applying for BNO visas. Yet more HKers say the home office is denying their applications over protest associated charges.
