I didn't expect this video to do amazing, but its bombing harder than I thought it would. If you can; please give it a share, it would mean a lot to me <3 I think it's some of my best writing, especially my sections on episodes 4 and 5.

Imagine if Britain's government supported its world-class creative industries the way Japan does, rather than selling out to thieving AI tech bros.

Burnham “I can’t make changes that are not in the manifesto” Labour 2024 manifesto ‘We will not issue new licenses… because they will not take a penny off bills, cannot make us energy secure and will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis’

Seems like something people should be warned about... kotaku.com/the-odyssey-...

The most recent Peter Rabbit movie, the one with James Corden. I was only there under sufferance, but after ten minuites of some-one trying to hit a photorealistic rabbit with a shovel, the kids were in tears and wanted to leave, and I sure as hell wasn't going to stop them.

You and your away team noclip into the Backdecks...accompanied by your favourite ensign. #StarTrek #Backrooms

Please, please, please can we go back to a time when the conservative Prime Minister, Theresa May, in 2019, was advocating for self-ID and American fundamentalists weren’t destroying our equality act?

You might be wondering how you can support an author when you're short of time, money, energy, etc. But honestly, making your own post about a book helps us! The more people who are talking about a book? Well, that's how buzz begins. You can do that on whatever sites you use.

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

Honestly think this is a side effect of the popularity of Vaping. Now that so many people do that, it's made actual smoking seem rebelious and dangerous.

So rememember in encounter at Farpoint when Q dressed up as a future soldier that was hopped up on drugs? Just like to keep track of where we are in the Star Trek timeline...

The Diana Wynne Jones comparison is really on point.

BUt wHy ARe PEopLE DISsolUtiOned WiTh POliTics? - Labour in the run up to the next election, probably.

Don't watch Harry Potter. Go watch Witch Hat Atelier instead.

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

One thing I’ve noticed is that people who primarily tell others what to do are impressed by AI. The people who actually do the things are not impressed by AI. Gee, wonder why that might be.

launching a substack in 2026 sends several messages, none of them good 1. you're not politically attentive enough to know the company is run by white supremacist coddling assholes 2. you know the company is run by white supremacist coddling assholes and don't care 3. you're getting paid, see #2.

This is the Amnesty International report on the anti-rights groups. These anti-rights groups have immediately engaged in lawfare to bury this report. *be a shame if people kept sharing it. drive.google.com/file/d/1UggI...

I mean Jim Henson's 'The Christmas Toy' is right there. Honestly the OG toy story borrows so liberally from this some-one probably should have sued. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chr...

Well, Han did call him Goldenrod at some point...

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

My skyline is nonstop sorrow and tributes to Sam Neill as people learn of his death, as a fine actor and decent human being. I nod in agreement as I see each one.

And YES. Charles de Lint used AI for the cover of a book he has coming out this fall. He sent out an email that lead with "AI Haters shouldn't read too much further..." #booksky

If you see this, post an archer.

Ann Widdecombe died and my only take is that the British media thrives on innumerable annoying, nasty-voiced, tiresome hate-mongers and giving them attention, even in death, is probably doing that system a favour. So ... Idunno whatever.

I always enjoyed this one I found when I was looking for a catflap...

For fellow authors here. Someone in another social shared this website that lists arc reviewers that support Ocean of PDF and book piracy publicly, which means oods are they are the ones uploading our work to that place. Good for vetting who we ask to be an ARC reader. thearcguard.com

Oh god everyone answering that they only keep one (1) single file of their book 😬 BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW. MAKE AT LEAST A SINGLE COPY I BEG OF YOU

In many ways Anne Widdecombe helped to usher in this culture of people with despicable views being tolerated because they're 'so funny!' that's led us to where we are now. A miserable legacy but one I suspect she would be quite pleased with.

BEST STAR TREK CAPTAIN. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY.

If you see this, post your comfort characters

I have checked what the Japanese media are saying and there seem to be competing names for the man. Some are going with ゴミ箱伯爵 (Gomibako Hakushaku - Count Trashcan) whilst others are using the katakana that you have for foreign loan-words and opting for ビンフェイス伯爵 (Binfeisu Hakushaku).

Right. Okay. This requires some backstory. In 1984, a small, low budget film studio in North Carolina produced a parody of Star Wars, called Hyperspace. It was released in the U.K. as ‘Gremloids’. The main character, shown here, was Lord Buckethead.

Another round of volentary redundancies at work. Feeling very much like this in the University sector at the moment.

Author Melissa Whitney, who is blind, is refuting the argument that there’s no HEA in her romance books because her FMC is still blind at the end of the story. She’s right to push back because that argument is hogwash. #Disability #Romance 1/4

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Emmys for his performance in ‘WONDER MAN’

I keep hearing this, and it's not wrong as such, but it falls into the trap of arguing on their ground. Young people should have the chance to study arts because it's good for them, and because they want to. That's enough.

We are a fucking joke of a country.

Sound is a must

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

This feels like the opening gambit of an illuminatus style Psy-Op. Dude might as well have a T-shirt with 'Fnord' on it.

I want fewer manga pages per week made by artists who don't put their health and mental well-being at risk by drawing continuously and I am NOT kidding

China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it.

It’s just a joke dude
