This is the lesson of 2025

How I respond when people ask me why I write horror and not 'proper' literature

I was lucky enough to have a small thing coming up in a new Smiling Friends episode. Until then, here's Allan (not the thing I made for the show, but still fun to play with!) 😊 #UnrealEngine #RealTime #SmilingFriends

We do a podcast about cartoons, and hoe to make cartoons. This week we had Steve Smith from Beakus (Big Lizard) telling us all about what proportion of your budget you can expect to get from a public service broadcaster. HINT: Not very much. Subscribe to the Sparklegoose Cartoon Podcast!

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

We're part of Netflix's Spooky Season For Kids, which justifies the number of meetings @rathergood.bsky.social had to have to decide slime colour, so that it didn't look too much like jizz.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Okay, The Goofy Movie was not as good as you all said.

It is my momento mori style obligation to remind you that this is not just coming to the uk but is it is already here.

It even works for our resident ichtyologists: If you see the maw open wide, And there is pharyngial jaw inside, That's a Moray!

If it looks like a long gourd And it lives in a warm Fjord, That's a Moray. Need to be accurate with the salinity and water temperature.

If it looks like a snake But it lives in a lake That's a moray

We used to sing this when scuba diving - If you put your hand in a crack And you don't get it back That's a moray

I like the wordplay but morays live in salt water. So oceans, seas etc.

If it’s not in the song But it’s still very long That’s a lamprey

Tommy Robinson posted a neo-Nazi blog that accused me and my fellow Jews Jack Straw and Barbara Roche of conspiring to flood the UK with immigrants.

Invest in the arts. Buy-to-let businesses have become the largest single type of business in the UK this is why we are not productive, we are cannibalising ourselves. www.ft.com/content/efed...

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

The Riyadh Comedy Festival is so commercial now. Accommodation, flyering and PR costs are insane. And yet, if you want to be seen by producers, you have to go. And now, people like me, who’ve been doing it for years can’t sell tickets because big acts are turning up.

look trump said he had never heard of the heritage foundation and also that he disagreed with some of their views and YES with hindsight we could have asked how he knew he disagreed with something he’d never heard of BUT it is our job as the news to just write down everything he says and print it

I cannot tell you how many parents I met across the last few events who said that comics started their kids reading. Just comics. It’s the one thing that worked. 🫡

This has brought joy to my morning. Last Pickle Delighted To Finally Have Whole Jar To Self — theonion.com/last-pickle-...

…Let me say that again: Expert coders using "generative AI" demonstrated a nearly 20% *increase* in their time, vs when writing code on their own; oh, and those increases are *worse* on the tasks with which they have more familiarity. But that's not even the crucial part; this is the crucial part:…

We're not partisan, why would you say that?? We'll praise Republicans for being right-wing, and we'll praise Democrats for being right-wing!

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

This is how I spent my afternoon. You don't know me.

A point made beautifully by the very talented @thatnatt.bsky.social in his Sir Ian Bowler MP character bsky.app/profile/that...

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

An epidemic of hangnails?

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Thesis: The male loneliness crisis discourse is cursed bc it’s an example of there being no outside the text. Men may be lonely in a unique way, but it’s because of brutality of patriarchy, and discussing it on its own also reinscribes patriarchy by treating male loneliness as uniquely significant.

There was a fascinating OECD paper that came out OVER A DECADE AGO that showed that actually national level indicators only really match micro/household level data closely when it comes to income (thanks fiscal states). They diverge quite badly when it comes to capturing wealth and consumption. 3/

Is there any situation which wouldn't be improved by your having a slice of lime handy?

The "asylum seekers eat our swans" lie was disproven 22 years ago. The Sun had to print a retraction back then. No PCC probe into 'swan eating' story | National newspapers | The Guardian share.google/lpdL9szwkmC0...

I can't even point at a single month for the past thirty five years when immigration wasn't talked about in a way that's not only fascistic but also deeply dehumanising and cruel.

"Nigel Farage has refused to rule out a link between paracetamol and autism" is the lead item on LBC News. Why? Why? He's not a doctor, he's not an expert, he's not a Minister, he's not the PM, he's not the opposition. Why is his bullshit the most important item on the news? Why?

The media loves the madness. It translates into ratings. This is why they wanted Trump 2.0 and why they want a Farage Britain.

I tell you what comedy show wouldn’t get made today. All the comedy shows I’ve tried to get made in the past and didn’t get made either. It’s hard to get comedy shows made. They’re not inevitable. They don’t need to be stopped by sinister outside forces.
