Patented by Robert H. Keaton in 1936 and updated in 1953, this machine allowed composers and musicians to print uniform, legible musical notes, clefs, sharps, flats, and staff lines before the age of digital music notation software. IG: @steampunktendencies www.instagram.com/steampunkten...

Zero Company is actually pretty great, but I'm severely let down by the paltry number of hats available. There's a couple of pilot helmets (none of the customisable characters get to fly the ship) 1bn clone helmets (you can't recruit new clones until 2/3 in), a salad dish and one pair of goggles.

Something like this, anyway. Lemmings is the 'correct' choice, but I suspect I played more Captain Planet at the time. #My9Games my9games.net/en/share/350...

Okay, you've talked me into it! You've twisted my arm! I'm going to rate every single song on this 1995 #totp compilation album. Someone has to do it. Or this great nation may fall to ruin.

Well, that was The Mandalorian And Grogu. A not-boring time was had, but it had pretty much no reason to exist (besides the obvious corporate one). A mashup of three episodes that never made the regular series, making for a film that says little and achieves little other than the passing of time.

Pleased to see versions of the Odyssey in the Times/Waterstones bestsellers. But puzzled that it comes in the NON Fiction category. Do they know something we don't?

Listen, right. I'm not saying I'm definitely magic, but… I hadn't watched a second of a single World Cup game yet. I decided to switch this one on for a quick look, right at the moment Argentina equalised. Shrugged, went away, switched on again, Argentina score again. I should monetise this.

My favourite thing about Haaland is that he spent 1.3 million ​Norwegian kroner of his football money on a rare 1594 edition of Viking chronicles - a record book sale for Norway - and then donated it to his regional library. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ha...

Why on earth does it matter what historians think about The Odyssey? It's FICTION. Do you also make clickbait videos about the inaccuracies in Percy Jackson? How about plot holes in Ulysses 31?

A heatwave cartoon for @newscientist.com
1. Title: The North Wind and the Sun quarrelled as to who was the stronger. 

2. The Sun says: "I propose a wager: See yonder traveller, let us see who can make him remove his cloak."

3. The northwind blows on the traveller, the sun says: "You blow yet he only wraps it tighter!"

4. The sun shines on the traveller, saying: Observe! . The traveller mutters "nice and warm"

5. The Sun says "See, my kindness brought results!" The traveller has removed hos cloak and begins to sweat. "Fair enough, you win." concedes the North Wind.

6. "Tremble before my gracious heat!" says the sun, smiling bradly. His heat has started a fire. the traveller flees. The North Wind says "I think that’s enough."

7. "Let the world burn with my cleansing benevolence!!" blazes the sun madly, now grown huge in the sky. The land is a burning fireball. "Now you’re scaring me!" says the North Wind anxiously.

I will be signing at The ARC festival this Sunday from 1-2pm at the @goshcomics.bsky.social table. @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social is an exciting, new, free comics festival in London on the 11th and 12th of July. Come along! www.arc-london.uk
We see a stick figure running through a ravaged desert pursued by a mechanical claw. The text begins "2050ad: Society has collapsed and the book festivals have gone rogue. Their terrifying motorized venues patrol the wastelands, hunting for audience members" We can now see that the claw is on the front of an enormous, mad-max-style battle-rig, adorned with spikes, skulls and armour. The text continues "Programmer-Warlords brutally preside over a relentless series of interviews, discussions and poetry readings.” In the trailer of the truck, a poetry reading is taking place, in a tower above it, the huge, muscular, horned programmer raises his fists and yells orders to his minions. The monstrous vehicle thunders on leaving one lone stick figure behind The text concludes "Occasionally, dazed survivors are found wandering with a signed hardback book in a cotton tote bag."
