'Tis The Season: https://www.cartoongravity.com/tis-the-season/

I genuinely affirmatively think that it is now a democratic imperative to spend as much time as you can offline. Read more offline. Socialise more offline. Discuss media you consume with other people offline. Out there is a real world full of people looking for real human connection - seize it

The Government should just write a cheque to fix all this. You know, like they would if it was something they gave a shit about, like an AI data centre or a racist anti-immigration scheme.

Not only should this be how all politicians deal with Reform, this is how the media should be dealing with Reform. Call them what they are, don't use them for clickbait at the cost of our country.

Couple more days on this before it slips behind the paywall. www.cartoongravity.com/how-to-cope-...

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

I rarely brag, but I made the Blacklist. So this is what me bragging looks like. deadline.com/2025/12/the-...

Oh I've missed this place. Out in the real world, I had to balance my interest in, and sympathy towards, the women murdered in Whitechapel with the mystery of who was responsible. Luckily, on Bluesky, I just have to pick one or the other.

Outside the paywall for a week or so. www.cartoongravity.com/how-to-cope-...

This week’s Wednesday Wonders is up: https://www.cartoongravity.com/wednesday-wonders-6/

This was really fun.

If you like audio, or fantasy, or fantasy audio, you need to be across Max Blair's Last Dance. The Kickstarter launches in a week, so PLEASE sign up for notifications. It costs you nothing to show some support to an indy creator and help him get the ball rolling. www.kickstarter.com/projects/las...

Annoying “today’s office” post.

The new Audi concept car looks very nice. Still no indicators, presumably. www.wired.com/story/aud…

The latest Wednesday Wonders is now live. https://www.cartoongravity.com/wednesday-wonders-5/

I might have to stop collecting pocket notebooks soon.

General reminder that our month-and-a-bit of streams starts next week, with a slightly revised time for @juliansimpson.bsky.social Be there and/or be square!

Today’s “Wednesday Wonders” is now up on the site.

Went to see Weapons last night. So refreshing to see someone thinking outside the box and doing something different. Unusually, I hadn’t seen any trailers and, if it’s not too late, I recommend you do the same.

Honestly, if someone is getting AI to write their wedding speech, you SHOULD NOT MARRY THEM. Get a ChatGPT subscription and a vibrator, it's going to be cheaper and a lot less disappointing in the long run.

This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

On libraries: https://cartoongravity.micro.blog/2025/08/25/on-libraries.html

The latest newsletter is winging its way to subscribers. Pens, a Prairie-style house in Cornwall, talking to whales, missing Orient Express trains - your Sunday rabbit-hole is opening up: Cartoon Gravity 37

Current listening: Miles Davis, “55”. I don’t need to tell you how good this is.

Recently finished reading: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell 📚, which is stupendously good. I still prefer Bone Clocks, but that may be because it was the first of his that I ahd read. I think if I had read Cloud Atlas when it came out, and known nothing about it, I would still be in recovery.

Fellow micro.bloggers, please make yourselves known.

This works in IA Writer: https://cartoongravity.micro.blog/2025/08/23/this-works-in-ia-writer.html

OK. So micro.blog seems to be a way to post and interact on Bluesky etc without being subjected to everyone else’s bastard opinions?! Essentially it allow me to scream out the window, which is what I would have been doing anyway.

Trying out the micro.blog service. Things might get a little weird for a while.

Reviews don't get better than "Forgot where I was while at the dentist"!

For future reference, this is the thing that finally made me delete the BBC News app. Despite the picture of Dover, this happened in France. And he didn’t see anyone pull a knife, he heard about it afterwards. From an Express hack. This is not journalism.

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

This, by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social, is a fantastic listen. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

Please support Sarah’s work, it is great.

Easily the best money I've spent in a while. Get involved!

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.
