This entire thing feels like it was churned out by chatgpt

In today's Guardian (not online yet) I drew a section cover and column illos for a great piece by @heritage.bsky.social about parents' WhatsApp groups. It was one of those jobs where I got *way* too into details/narrative design, trying to make single illustrations read across page like a comic.

ARE YOU A CHILD? If the answer is yes, then my new book The O.D.D Squad: Captain Bad Vs Captain Worse is out today and you should buy it. Also, if the answer is yes then get off social media you maniac. This place will destroy your brain www.waterstones.com/book/the-o-d...

Netflix just deleted Call My Agent while I was in the middle of a rewatch. This is war.

Guy really wants a cake, huh

Having seen the sales boost that The Salt Path received this week, I'd like to announce that I don't actually have a brother, his name isn't Pete and we actually get on great amzn.eu/d/cI5UlMT

Anyone want a hastily written Christmas cash-in parody book called The Bullshit Path?

Happy new pope

Now for the part of Conclave that weirded your dad out

“If you really want to honor the spirit of the original, you could just take the name without paying for it.” @heritage.bsky.social

The sound effect that accompanies Jesse Eisenberg's eyebrows 46 seconds into this trailer is the most unintentionally funny thing I have seen for many years youtu.be/-E3lMRx7HRQ?...

This is a good litmus test to discover who has actually watched Conclave

Oh this is nice

Quote from Conan O'Brien in the press release about him returning for next year's Oscars: “The only reason I’m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech."

“You are busy, life is short, and you don’t want your final thought on earth to be one of regret that you once spent several hours watching Meghan Markle make a daisy chain.” @heritage.bsky.social

Quite the difference in body language to yesterday's Oval Office meeting.

Today has really put the doom into doomscrolling

Jesus fucking Christ

This is just like the time Ming the Merciless acquired the rights to the Flash Gordon franchise

Is the next Bond villain going to be an independent bookseller?

What it's like as a bald man in an increasingly hairy world - I loved talking to @heritage.bsky.social‬ and TiF legend Rudi Zygadlo for this episode, inspired by a gorgeous @evawiseman.bsky.social column asking whether baldness was a thing of the past www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

OH THANK GOD www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Five months to figure out how to revive Thanos

Years and years ago I interviewed one of the founders of Kickstarter. He told me the whole idea of starting it was "Do you know how many people would pay David Lynch directly to make another film?"

And a happy new year to you too, email from a company who I bought something from once in 2017

Greatest movie needledrop 2024: this scene, Day After Day by Badfinger, Godzilla X Kong

Godzilla X Kong best movie 2024

Legitimately the hardest I worked on anything this year

My favourite festive memory is interviewing Richard Briers because he wished me merry Christmas despite it being the middle of October www.theguardian.com/film/2012/no...

It's the shortest day of the year today, which means from tomorrow it will gradually get harder to put your children to bed

There should be a Black Friday-scale event for the day where it's too late to order stuff online in time for Christmas so people stop sending you emails

Returning to social media after a while is wild. What, I'm supposed to just write down every single passing thought I have? What the fuck? Grow up

This is nice, especially when I'm being roasted for being a paid monarchist puppet on Twitter

He came

✊

95% of every conversation I have with someone I don't know very well defaults to 'Wow, Covid was crazy'

Helpful reminder that Black Friday is the best day of the year to unsubscribe from marketing emails

I just found Documentary Now on ITVX. Four seasons of it, just sitting there, completely unhyped. This is very exciting

Don't know if professional boasting is a thing here yet, but my book Bald just got called the funniest of the year. It also got called deranged in the same article, but let's skip over that www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-sh...

Watching Bluesky's userbase grow like this is extremely stressful. It's like Buckaroo, but with people who shouldn't be allowed on the internet instead of little plastic horseriding accessories

My two favourite things about Bluesky so far are as follows: 1. I am inexplicably one of the 29 accounts followed by De La Soul 2. I joined early enough to snag this handle before the Heritage Foundation got to it

All I want for Christmas is a toy based on a throwaway joke from one episode of Teen Titans Go

Haven't read the letter or the reply, but I'm already firmly on her side here

This is a safe space to say that Threads is full of abject dickheads, right?
