I don't know how I've never read any Michael G. Coney, but I loved the short story I just read in a 1973 issue of Worlds of If. Any #scifi fans have tips on what I should read by him next?

These guys hate Britain. Why don’t they move to the US if they don’t like it here.

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

I'm sure nothing at all could go wrong with this.

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄 Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆 1/15 🧵

Lindsey Vickers, the lovely chap who made THE APPOINTMENT, has died. I've written a tribute to him here: www.bfi.org.uk/features/lin...

Just mis-typed something but 'Assize of Dread' would make a great band name.

The Beano kids are investigating the haunted Pizza shop in this week's Beano. The Pizza shop on Hobbs lane. Because if there's one thing kids love it's references to Quatermass and the Pit.

Even death is no barrier.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

The thing is, if you genuinely believed that preteen girls are old enough to be mothers while males in their thirties are too young to comprehend fascism, then you logically wouldn't trust men to be responsible for anything more consequential than a balloon animal, let alone a government

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

"Free" doing a lot of work here. Free according to the companies selling licenses to universities? Free according to the scholars whose work has been fed into these things without their knowing, whose subject knowledge was gained through years of paid-for specialist tuition?

Bit niche, but does anyone know of good publications or sources of information on historic aerial photography in India, for archaeological purposes? Presumably Archaeology Survey of India did a lot? cc @martynjb.bsky.social

This new Covid strain is relentless. A week now and still the razor blade sore throat isn't letting up. Happy to hear of home remedies, even witchcraft. Get your Covid booster if you can, I have honestly never felt this ill in my life (really despising past Jen for not paying for a jab last year).

Yes! Excellent film, and one I wrote about here: headpress.com/blog/2022/06... Had lots of fun looking at #Canuxploitation a few years back.

There are few more determined groups of workers than Yorkshire ice cream vendors.

😭 Less useful is my ability to recall the code numbers allotted to different medications from when I worked for the NHS Business Services Authority doing data entry c.20 years ago, and still can't help thinking '248' when I see packets of 500mg paracetamol.

Regular as a well wound clock, Yaxley-Lennon uses his Irish passport to come to London, gain publicity, claim victimhood, milk racist marks on his latest gofundme legal costs then fuck off back to luxury villas abroad to snort charlie until his annual 'can't wear a poppy' Armistice Day visit.

"There are no footnotes."

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
