What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?

This is a very cool find! An original flyer advertising the opening of the first Forbidden Planet shop in London. It came with Dennis Giffords Ace newsletter in summer 1978, so this is possibly one of the first printings of Brian Bolland's iconic image.

Kettle on, curtains still shut, no plans to change either for a bit. Cosy little question: what do you cook or eat only when you're completely alone 🍳 — the odd combination, the pan straight to the sofa, the thing you'd never serve a guest? #solosuppers

"...Their work was used to train the systems without permission, and the outputs may now compete with them." — @plagiarismtoday.com #booksky #drawntoextinction #comics #art #comicsky trainor.fyi/books/drawn

A striking, chaotic comic-style cover layered with overlapping hand-drawn panels, showing fragmented faces, sketchbook pages, and inked figures in a mix of rough linework and vivid colour. Fluorescent yellow horizontal bands slice across the entire image like warning tape, partially obscuring the artwork beneath. Over this, bold, blocky black typography reading “Drawn to Extinction” runs vertically and dominates the composition, creating a sense of disruption and tension. The background feels like a collage of analogue craft under pressure, with visible pencil marks, notes, and expressive character art clashing against the harsh digital overlays, evoking the collision between human creativity and machine generation.

I believe it. You'd need a set of gears where a brain should be to not predict this would be the inevitable result of this tech.

October is waiting to ambush us at the other end of the week, so arm yourselves with Rusty Staples' regular look ahead to the comics that will be celebrating an important anniversary in the coming month! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2026/09/28/h... #RustyStaples #comics

Wide awake before the heating kicked in, so I'm sat here with cold hands and a notebook. Soft question: whose handwriting ✍ do you still recognise instantly — and when did you last see it? #handwritten

Every pub, bookie and cinema in the country checks ID and nobody calls it an attack on free speech. Tech has spent twenty years insisting it's special. It isn't. Safeguarding children is the price of admission, and if you can't afford it, maybe don't open the doors.

Protecting kids isn't censorship, it's the bare minimum. No one's stopping you saying anything, you're being asked to check who's in the room before you say it. If your business model can't survive knowing a user's age, that's not a free speech problem, it's a design problem.

We don’t need another Skywalker Trilogy. That is all.

Hope your morning's treating you kindly — mine started with next door's radio bleeding faintly through the wall, which I've decided to enjoy. Curious one: what's the last thing you overheard from a stranger 👂 that you're still turning over days later? #overheard

‘Refusing to meet Trump was an easy no’: Colin Kaepernick on being ‘blackballed’ for taking the knee, racism, and why he’s still ready to play

I’m afraid I lost an enormous amount of respect for Colin Kaepernick when he co-founded and investing in Lumi which claims to leverages advanced Ai technology to enhance the “comic book creative process and ensure diverse and authentic stories shape our future” 🤢 www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

All the 5* reviews of Elden Ring cite its vast open-worldness as its genius……… I’ve played a lot of open-world RPGs where you can head to a castle on the horizon and keep going, but they generally had a plot, a point, and some kind of engagement mechanic. Elden Ring doesn’t… it’s just very drab.

Good morning — the light's doing that soft, unhurried thing it only manages in the first hour. Gentle one: is there a book 📚 you've started three or four times and never finished, and do you think it's the book's fault or just the wrong years meeting? #unfinishedshelf

Yes, The Wire and Breaking Bad were excellent, but ask Judge Death what his favourite TV show of the 21st century was and he’ll always say:
