A Christmas cartoon from my new book of science cartoons PHYSICS FOR CATS. In good bookshops and online now: www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

This was truly a work of social media art

Flu jab yesterday = horrible headache today. Worth it though.

Excellent set of threads about "Wake Up Dead Man", especially the religious aspects. Contains spoilers.

I would love to have him visit to wash my dishes and replenish my potato stash.

Plot Bunnies Multiply, but seeing them is not the same as catching them, training them and putting in the hard, hard work to learn the skills and process to produce Art.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

It's a little known fact that back in the old days, girls liked to celebrate #Christmas by walking about in threes.

It's that day again. Try and have a good one. 🦉

I am once again asking folks not to repost every single post in a long thread, and especially not to do it in the order they're reading. A whole screen full of an extended argument that I've already read is bad enough. All that plus backwards makes me want to mute either the poster or the reposter.

Submissions are open for our Welsh folklore anthology, They Are Still Here: wizardstowerpress.co...

The fact the options were this or 'literally cease to exist and end Guiding in the UK' is fucking horrific. I hate it here. I grew up in Guides and it was a wonderful, inclusive organisation. The fact they can't continue that is breaking my heart.

Have we not learned how damaging these non legally binding votes are?

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

Since I heard Last Christmas at 8:16 this morning - yes, December 1st - when I started my car and the radio came on, I think I'm going to go with this. Mulled wine tonight!

I got to say alternating reputations of SATANIC PANIC and BEING TOO WOKE makes it mildly disappointing when you first play D&D and it's mostly looking at graph paper.

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

My ancient girl cat kindly waited 3 whole days after her brother passed last weekend before going blind as a result of health conditions she had never given any sign of. Big emergency vet trip last night but she's got meds and is managing to get around the house just fine. So I think she'll be OK.

No.

Happy St Katherine's Day to all scholars, librarians, and Katherines. May you win an argument against an annoying man today, in the true spirit of Katherine herself.

My 20+ year old cat is in his final hours, and although he doesn't seem to be suffering at all, his happy place right now seems to be lying on my chest. It's extremely inconvenient for me, but it's also adorable and what else am I going to do?

Actual proper goosebumps just now singing the Welsh national anthem for Wales v New Zealand, and I am not even in the stadium.

Feeling under the weather (and it's lousy weather today too) so am back in bed to finish reading WOOING THE WITCH QUEEN by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social. It's a perfect combo of romance, humour and intrigue for my current mood, and I actually said YES! out loud to one character's self-realisation. 😀

Pay for a proof read, lads

Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

And how is it supposed to work with businesses that use VPNs to allow remote workers to connect to their secure company network? It feels like another 'policy' with no real understanding behind it.

Also a lesson for morally bankrupt, supposedly progressive parties worldwide: if you spend your energy trying to make voters who hate everything about you hate you slightly less, they still won't vote for you.

Is this where Spiders Georg lives?

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

AND HE WAS LIKE, BUT NOT MY FACE, RIGHT? AND I WAS LIKE WELL IT'S A FACE, SO

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

I just finished reading @kateelliottsff.bsky.social's latest, THE NAMELESS LAND (having reread the 1st part of the duology THE WITCH ROADS right before), and I am feeling bereft and irrationally annoyed that I can't read more in that world right this damn minute. Or read it again for the 1st time.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
