Happy #DoctorWho day to you all at home

It says a lot about me that while everyone (rightly) celebrates this documentary I’m left elated at the realisation that the person announcing Marty winning the award at the beginning is David Whitaker, Doctor Who’s first script editor and architect of much of the programme as we know it

If you see this, quote post with the energy you bring to bluesky:

Indispensable advice that all artists should follow

I shall not offend you if I state quite frankly and openly that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection

It's especially ironic considering No Time To Die's climax is lifted from the You Only Live Twice novel where the epilogue shows an amnesiac Bond being found by a Japanese fisherman and nursed back to health for him to return to work for Fleming's final novel The Man With The Golden Gun

Phillips and Fegredo's sketchbook is a work of beauty and probably the best advert Moleskin could ever ask for

Violet Carson did such a brilliant job performing Ena Sharples that it’s easy to underestimate her range. This clip proves her versatility and genius as an actress

Magnificent children's horror posters from an alternative 1970's by the ever brilliant Richard Littler

Of all the fates of the parallel worlds in DC Comic’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was the destruction of Eartha Kitt that was most tragic

The worst comic of 2025, the Death of the Silver Surfer #5 was published today with the titular event occurring as an act of self sacrifice to prevent a greater tragedy. But worry not for there is a new Surfer, a MAGA/ICE analogue 1/4

RIP Prunella Scales. Never less than wonderful. Now reunited with Tim. Thoughts are with the family. Who loved her even more than the rest of us.

My answer to AI scraping is simple: all technology that utilises AI should be made open source so that anyone can use it. Something tells me that wouldn't go down well with the tech companies...

Proposed plans of Trump’s White House East Wing redevelopment have been released by its architect, Albert Speer

It’s becoming clear that the purpose of AI is the appearance of realism without fidelity. As long as it looks crisp and clean it doesn’t matter if it’s wrong. Which ends up rendering it both meaningless and worthless

Just watched the BBCThree repeat of #DoctorWho The Eleventh Hour and by god it's brilliant. I forget just how good an introductory story it is, not just for a new Doctor but for the programme in general. Matt Smith is fantastic and definitely my favourite new series Doctor- an equal to Tom Baker!

Fucking hell, that broke me. Well done, Brighton.

Me on the way to the rapture.

Growing up in Franco’s Spain Carlos Ezquerra would become one of the best illustrators of the dangers of fascism, co-creating both Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog, from where this panel originated. Chilling

True story about how memories linger long after the fact: back in the 80's when as a teen I decided the goth life would be for me and started wearing all black, my Grandmother (b1922) turned around and said with incredible disapproval "Are you a blackshirt now?" And I had to convince her otherwise

Never more apt. I'd forgotten how angry this song was, to the point where the writers stop with the jokes halfway through

The more I look at this page the more I think it a work of genius. There's an argument to be made that contemporary comics are possibly the best they've ever been on a technical level, but the price of this is too often a loss of comic's storytelling that this page exemplifies 1/10

Genuinely loving @teganoneil5000.bsky.social's reviews of Camelot 3000. I'm old enough to have bought it on release but haven't read it since the late 80's trade, and Tegan does what any reviewer should do, which is make me want to reread it. Stirling stuff
