Ah, 4 October! Happy fifth birthday to this marvellous thing…
Tom Hollander, A Life in the Day: I wake up generally at 3 or 4am. Not because I'm like Margaret Thatcher, but because I need to pee. I pee in the darkness using my phone screen to illuminate the target, then often take half a sleeping pill ... Sometime between 6 and 8 I wake again, turn up the Today programme gently. If my girlfriend is there we hold each other in different positions. If she isn't I wrap my arms around a pillow and continue listening to the bad news. Whoever gets up first will go downstairs and start baking porridge. ... It takes about 40 minutes to cook and we eat it in such large quantities with olive oil and salt that we negate any nutritional benefits. But we enjoy it. And while it's cooking it gives us time to look at our phones. Sometimes in this waiting period I try to do three slow sun salutations to stretch myself out, but often I don't. I brew the first of many coffees. ... Owing to forces beyond my control, life has not been as busy as it used to be. … I look at myself in the mirror and try to see what others see. Examine my bald patch, weigh myself and pull my stomach in. Then let it out. Then pull it in again. If I'm feeling positive I might get dressed at this point and go for my second coffee on the street below. I've lived in the same flat for 20 years and one of the rewards for this loyalty is that I know all the shopkeepers and stallholders on the street, for whom I have become like a piece of the old furniture they sell. Hello Glen, hello Kris, Ghino! … Then take it home and leave it on the sideboard with any post that has arrived from my stalker. Then I might call my agent. "Isn't she? No, no, nothing important... just checking in..." Soon it's time for my midmorning nap. Followed by the preparation of lunch, which I start at 12.15pm. … If it's sunny I might go for a cycle ride down the canal, ifit's raining I might masturbate and doze, or speculate on the extraordinary injustice of Philip Green's knighthood…

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

This book needs funding! I’m honored to be included in “Industrial Music/Graphics: A Visual History of a Movement," which looks to be a phenomenal & long-overdue collection.

Nine Inch Nails' debut single "Down In It" was released on this day in 1989. If you've never seen it, this 1991 "Hard Copy" segment is a hilarious piece of lore about a camera lost during the filming of the music video that resulted in the FBI launching a murder investigation:

Photograph of British servicemen in full panto drag, manning (or possibly daming) a naval gun overlooking the Channel. I'm pretty sure this was taken for propaganda purposes rather than a genuinely spontaneous event - the idea that normal, sometimes silly, life was going on despite (and *to spite*) the Nazis was an important message on the home front.

The "y" in archaic spellings like "ye olde bookshope" isn't meant to be a "y" as we know it now but the Old English letter "þ" or "thorn" and pronounced "th". This was converted to "y" with the invention of movable type printing but still meant to be pronounced "th" þ survives in Icelandic today

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Var på rugby och plåtade lite i går.
En skadad man sitter rakt framför kameran och håller sig för axeln. En man peppar sina lagkamrater. En man håller fast en lagkamrat. En man ligger underst i en klunga och skrattar.
