I had a pair of XM5s since my XM4s finally died in January after five years of tireless service ... the XM5s malfunctioned *constantly* and finally keeled over yesterday, so it's time for a downgrade, back to the safety of the XM4 (albeit the slightly updated version).

Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

All they have to do is make this much money for 72 years in a row while not incurring any more operating costs or interest payments and they'll be $30bn in the green.

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."

Stop using anti-fish language
Instead of: this seems fishy
Try saying:
this seems like a situation in which we should consult the wisdom and grace of the European seabass, a species with which i would entrust my entire life and personal safety

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

I cannot ever forget how the marching bands refused to be silent, as requested, going past the house where the mother of those three murdered boys took refuge in the weeks after her unthinkable loss. A small detail that exposes everything this march is for.

Today's message is that the military industrial complex will continue to dispose of anyone it likes and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. The minute you are an inconvenience to the United States or its allies they'll murder you and your entire family then build a hotel on your land.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

you know you're irish when
A comic all about what it means to be Irish!

Panel 1: Happy looking text --surroinded by suitably Irish symbols-- saying "You know you're Irish when"

Panel 2: "You subsist on the BLACKSTUFF and Chris." A dark pint-shaped void, with tendrils of reaching all corners of the panel. In front of it is a white male human head with a gentle smile saying "Chris."

Panel 3: "THEMAM asks you:"

A little girl looks on in fear as a strange mummified looking figure says "DID YOU SWITCH IT OFFFFFFF"

Panel 4: "You vanish rivals to the NULL-PLACE"

A ghostly, distorted humanoid figure falls down a long pit towards us, a look of fear on their face. Up above, two children look down at them with smiles on their faces.

Remember , if you're going to steal you need to steal BIG. There's no good in stealing a few thousand, that's for peasants, mere amateurs who spend decades behind bars. What you need to do is steal a billion and you'll be out in 3-4y, no problem , easy peasy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"You guys have a black hole, don't you?" The new Bobiverse book , The Infinite Extent, is a bloody good time , it picks up the pace and delivers hard hits again after Taylor did a tonne of world building and horizon expanding with the last two books. Definitely worth reading this far for.

Who remembers this classic British comic 😆😂🤣 👁️👄👁️
Four panel comic, designed to look like the front cover to classic British comics (on this case, The Beano), titled "The Whizzo"

The comic is a parody of the UK Dennis the Menace

P1: Title. 'Nigel the Numpty'

P2: a steaming meat pie sits on a window will in the foreground. The pie catches the attention of the eponymous Numpy, as he leans on a wooden slatted fence. He stares at the pie with a look of divilment on his grinning face, as he says "COR! Scrummy pie," to no one in particular.

P2: Nigel makes off with great speed, laughing with an audible "TITTER, GUFFAW, CHORTLE," as he holds his delicious prize aloft in both hands

P3: we cut back to a down on her luck mother, sitting on a doorstep as she holds a waifish boy, who is wall-eyed and barely conscious.

The mother, a look of deep sorrow on her face looks down at the boy and says "that rotter stole our pie. Another day without food, luv."

The boy, ashen and shaking, replies in a shaky voice: "s-so... hungry"

Ooof. Coming back to the Bobiverse after three or four years is tough without re-reading the whole series — there are a lot of Bobs out there (I mean, he DID call Book 1 'We are Legion'). I do enjoy it — it has one of my favourite space biyattles — the coup de grace where they did the 💥 🌟 💥
