There is nothing better than Robert Lloyd Parry reading a ghost story in a chapel in December. It is as much a part of Christmas as carols, presents and watching It's A Wonderful Life for the forty-first time.

But, by "both sides" do they mean both inward faces of the two individual slices of bread, or both the inward and outward faces of each slice of bread?

Congratulations to Lilith Allen, the winner of this year's 2000 AD Writer Talent Search competition at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social! They'll get guaranteed paid work turning their "Creature Featurette" pitch into a Future Shock.

I know that it's all for a good cause and everything, but this thing where people do (the equivalent of) multiple marathons for charity...totally undermines the concept of a marathon being a thing. Like, it used to be a thing that people would aspire to, but now non sporty celebrities do 100 for fun

I'll be bringing some of my HDK and Library of the Occult releases on cassette and CD, if you're interested in some *very* limited edition stories and soundtracks I do have some on vinyl too, but I probably wont bring them (unless anyone *really* wants me too).

See you soon.

Survey they just quoted on the radio said that 10% more people think the BBC is biased to the Left than think it's biased to the right. So, it's time for *checks notes* the Royalist loving, Farage loving, BBC to shift Right, apparently. You know, for balance and neutrality.

If Right wing Christians actually believed in Hell and demons, they'd be saying ChatGPT, Grok, etc were demons, wouldn't they? They're literally doing Satan's work (if you believed in Satan).

Thought Bubble Festival starts today! A week-long celebration of comics held across Yorkshire! With social events, workshops, talks, and loads of comic goodness for you to enjoy. See the full programme of events here: www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/festivalprog...

These pictures of Alan Carr incognito make him look like he's about to stand next to me with his arms folded at the back of a gig.

I thought Meg White was dead there for a second. It turns out she's just not turning up at The White Stripes' induction into the RnR Hall of Fame. Phew.

Just fired off some short story pitches for an exciting little thing. Surprised myself seeing as it's just gone 11 on a Saturday night.

Watch: Researchers have discovered what could be the largest spider web ever found, according to a paper published last month

I strongly condemn any talk of Christmas, or Christmas decoration, before Dec 1st. Christmas is currently 10,000+ days away. No thoughts of Christmas need to be thought. Cast them out of your mind.

Really excited to moderate this panel next Saturday afternoon at Thought Bubble!

If I read the words thank you for your cooperation in any context whatsoever, mentally I "hear" the sentence in Robocop's voice.

Just pulled together the powerpoint for the “Olde Bokes” panel at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and WOW am I excited for this conversation with @scarygorgon.bsky.social , @mdpenman.bsky.social , @johnreppion.bsky.social , and @zaraslattery.bsky.social !! www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/ol...

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

UK media unashamedly using the train attack to push AI powered digital surveillance and digital ID agenda. Acting like images can't already be instantly shared and that AI can magically stop crime before it happens.

The German Dunkelflaute (meaning "dark doldrums") is known in English as anticyclonic gloom. High pressure traps clouds at a lower level, makes everything seem dark and dreary, and increases the probability and longevity of fog. Happy November, everyone.

It’s Jeremy Brett’s birthday Here’s my favourite Holmes delivering a pub fight masterclass with panache, killer moves & a knowing smile. He even gets a round of applause from the regulars at the end. Love the post-fight analysis with Watson. The man was ridiculously watchable.

When one of my sons was about 5 he uttered the immortal line "What do you call a grandpa with a gun? GUNPA!"

This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire. www.newyorker.com/video/watch/...

I've just been to get my vaccinations. I was told by the person doing them that the Covid jab critera are so strict now that she was able to vaccinate an immunocompromised person, but not their partner who came in with them.

Trending videos? On Bluesky? What?

Panel guests include @scarygorgon.bsky.social , @mdpenman.bsky.social , @johnreppion.bsky.social and @zaraslattery.bsky.social . Based on our introductory zoom chat, it is going to be a LOT of fun! www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/ol...

Off on an adventure/quest with @mdpenman.bsky.social today.

I've been woken up by an American voice actor doing Irish accents in the audiobook I fell asleep listening to. Even in my sleep I knew something was wrong. Oh begorrah.

It's November. You know what that means... Moore & Reppion at Thought Bubble Comic Convention 2025 www.moorereppion.com/thought-bubb...
