"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975 “It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. Other governments should do the same!

It's been a weird year for my drawing. It kind of peaked using a computer and I wasn't able to sustain or replicate the results I was getting. With all the Ai shenanigans going on at the minute, my response is to go back to basics and draw freehand with a brush pen. Drawing direct.

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.

Support comics on Kickstarter. Not only do you get to feel vaguely good about yourself, but it's like a gift from past you to present you. Such a delight when they unexpectedly arrive

@geengeenie and I treated ourselves to a pair of the cheap seats at Basildon Vue to see James Gunn’s interpretation of Superman…which was, predictably, brilliant. Everything from the casting to the music choices is perfect. Mister Terrific is just that and Krypto is the new Baby Groot.

You have to admit, that to go from 12th in the Premier League and total disarray this time two years ago to Club World Cup Champions is quite the turnaround.

Comic news monthly was a comics fanzine produced in 1984 by (then comic shop owner)

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's £32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

We need to look at creative ways of dealing with shop lifting. One solution might be to ask shops to write to each thief in advance, to re-assert their rights to their products, and to opt out of having them taken. Such a solution recognises the unique challenges and balances the rights of the…
