The best superhero is Swamp Thing because sometimes Swamp Thing wanders around a planet a galaxy away as he has an existential debate with a copy of himself he made out of azure soil and sometimes Swamp Thing fights dracula at a gas station

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

hell fucking yeah

My illustration for Ray Cluley's story in Lovecraft's Brood. "Sideways" is about test pilots, an experimental aircraft and something monstrous that lurks in the upper atmosphere. I illustrated all the stories, it's a great collection.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

If you've had an actual relationship with a woman you wouldn't need this.

The climate emergency is manifesting and we have very few politicians and even fewer journalists championing any kind of action. We are heading for an eco collapse and we’re pretending like all is fine. It’s why I decided not to have children 30 years ago. I suspected it would play out like this.

Organized Bolivian workers have been blocking roads in an indefinite general strike against their president's neo-liberal agenda. They have already forced government reshuffles & salary cuts, & their momentum isn't slowing. Workers of all nations hold more more power than they know. ✊

Climate scientists are, of course, well aware that extreme heat happened in the past. But, thanks to climate change – which is driven predominantly by burning fossil fuels – extreme heat is happening more frequently and is more intense today.

ecstatic to have a new trio of poem in @bulbregion.bsky.social! here's one:

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

interesting, unsettling piece about a few strains of AI video slop currently doing the rounds. found this passage particularly resonant with regard to the uncanny emptiness of this stuff. there's no *there* there. but it's still having an effect. zombie content open.substack.com/pub/tiktokti...

It’s really frightening.

I can’t with this Granta thing, I do not have the spoons to process that a storied name in literary fiction has issued a “we asked Claude” statement

If you love writing. Don’t become a creative writing major. Actually killed my love of writing all because of the literary snobs and the professor whose toes they sucked. I’d recommend instead reading books on the craft by authors, grammar workbooks, and finding a writing group.

thank god.

the thing about being creative is you have to say "no" to yourself a lot. you have to recognize the first thought to pop into your head is the tip of a long shadow cast by a weirder, more huge, and better thought.

please share even if you can't donate, max wouldn't have posted this at all if we hadn't pressured her into it and i promise this is genuinely an Escape from an extremely fucked up, very prolonged situation

The big thing I regret about the decline of arts criticism is that everyone still dislikes things, but in boring, unthoughtful ways. We’ve sucked all the fun out of being a hater by pretending it’s not an intellectual exercise!

Hospital: No we would never let RFK Jr operate a robot arm on a live person during heart surgery but tbh we did let him root around in there with one of those squeezy dinosaur head chomper grabber things, you know the ones, like *clack clack clack* yeah you know em, he was real insistent on it

For the love of god, keep em coming

The Crypt Keeper is so under-utilized. He should be having cameos in every award show, talk show appearances, jumpscares in news reports
