On Facebook they post endless warnings about Nigel Farage. Last week Starmer did a big giant speech about the dangers of Farage. All the while they're trying to be him. It would be like saying "I hate David Bowie, he's so shit" while sporting a red glitter lightning bolt over one eye.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed. There was a shimmer - a demon appeared. "Curious. What ritual is this?" "I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!" "I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

I bought the three physical volumes of Murderbot stories when they came out in the UK earlier this year. This morning I've been refunded as "We have been informed by the publisher that the book was set up with incorrect dimensions.". Hope @marthawells.com still gets her royalties OK. #booksky

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

I thought the farmer loading the trailer that Wallace hits during the chase sequence in Vengance Most Fowl looked familiar. It's him out of off of Shaun The Sheep.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.
