Ok, conspiracy theory time. I reckon the Coke ad is actually human animated to *look* as uncanny valley and AI as possible to generate controversy.

Anita Rani and her Dad are going to absolutely walk this series of Race Across the World.

Exciting post!

This, through headphones, was absolutely transcendent.

Oh my. I'm not even particularly a Star Trek fan and I want this.

Musk is essentially a hostile actor with state-level resources. Perhaps we ought to do something about that?

We’re live on Bandcamp now with pre orders! Streaming coming very soon thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/rewild...

Not sure exactly what I expected to see in Bristol Cathedral, but it almost certainly wasn’t Liam Neeson in a wimple.

Maybe I’m thick, but I’d always understood Ozymandias to be a sombre reflection on the transience of human achievement. It only now occurs to me that it’s actually a celebration of the fact that no tyrant lasts forever.

This is one of the maddest sentences I’ve ever read.

These have become one of my favourite Bandcamp treats.

Genuinely think that books published before 2025 will soon become a rare and precious resource. A source unpolluted by industrial misinformation.

I doubt anyone cares about my views on Soldier F, but I do think it’s important to note that he was found not guilty because we can’t now be sure *which specific* soldier shot these unarmed civilians in the back. We do know at least one of them did.

I've just put this album of mine which I released in January down to £1 for a little while on Bandcamp : thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/endure There are also a bunch of cassettes back in stock too if you wanted a physical copy!

Stream it, buy it, do whatever you want to do, but Loula's album is ace!

I take back everything I've said about Starmer. He's an electoral genius who has totally outmanoeuvred Reform by pushing everyone vaguely progressive to vote Plaid.

The UK is world class at three things, higher education, cultural media and money laundering, and Labour are deliberately fucking up the good two and accelerating the criminal one. No-one, not even the briefcase dickheads still sticking up for them because of the sunk cost, voted for this shit.

This is too good.

Halloween really is the most whimsical of ancient pagan festivities.

What a night! International crisp and drink tasting at the one and only Sportsman.

Nothing says Halloween like an adorable ghost welshcake.

This is lovely work, and a really interesting walk through the process as well.

I dare you to not read this out loud.

Almost every book is too long now.

Wu Tangerine Dream

Hang on, Robin Goodfellow is on Hunted? I foresee puckish shenanigans. #AccidentalFolklore

Great @warringtonruncorn.com gig at a lovely venue in Stoller Hall.

Is @kaylapainter.bsky.social the greatest parcel tape virtuoso? She may just be.

I’ve added these three recent mostly ink square drawings to my shop, they’re of a clown and some tigers, but I hope the spirit or qualities of them is the main thing. Shares of this post would be most appreciated. 🖼️ #art www.chloecumming.com

Checked in. Ready for @kaylapainter.bsky.social and @warringtonruncorn.com later. Quite excited!

Keeping it Tayto at the international crisp festival.

Microsoft’s commitment to making its software incrementally worse is genuinely impressive.

That's a superb metaphor.

Now listening (obvs). Looking forward to experiencing these live on Saturday!

Lusting after the Folio edition of A Canticle for Leibowitz made me think...why have I only read this once? Why do we reread some books we love and not others? www.foliosociety.com/uk/a-canticl...

Imagine the special kind of soulless fuckwit you have to be to do this.

This whole section really.

This government has got to the "arresting pensioners for no reason" stage of incompetence remarkably quickly.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor hits out at transphobia: “These people make trans people their whole personality and spend their entire day being angry” 💯 “There was a time when Pride felt like a celebration of the shoulders people were able to stand on, but now it feels like an absolute political necessity”

New Idlewild album is pleasingly pink.

Relatively quiet Bandcamp Friday for me, but Kelly Moran's new album is an absolute banger (h/t @moonbuilding.bsky.social ) kellymoran.bandcamp.com/album/dont-t...

My new book of science cartoons, PHYSICS FOR CATS is out in a week! Order a copy today from you local bookshop or at one of the links here: www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

Assumed this was parody to begin with, but I checked and it's real.

I keep seeing personalised Uber ads for taxis in Kirklees. Which is great, except that isn’t a place and no one calls it that.

These have been my wallpapers for a few months now. Love ‘em.

I particularly enjoyed "Chat-GPM"

So exhausting..

Very valid point.
