New Year's resolution: Gonna mix it up, try something new, stunt on the skyline a little less dipshit, more cumclown

My new mission in life is to find people who have never watched a Worthikids animation before and make sure this is the FIRST one they see, zero context, zero pre-gaming youtu.be/iTTumugS9ys

@colinbell.bsky.social Poke - you were going to text me so we can organise a drink

One final task before I shut down the lab for the holiday: I promised the students a while back that I would add to the wall art before I left.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

hahahahaha *using my fingertips to push a folded piece of paper across the desk. the company guy opens the paper. it says "pay us" in impeccable calligraphy*

A big hello and welcome to all our new followers and subscribers. Hope you enjoy what we create! A good place to start is over in our YouTube channel YouTube.com/cosmicshambles

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

While the Divorced Sitcom Writer continues on his decade-long tantrum that nobody wants to work with him & listen to his bile any more, Robin Ince voluntarily resigns with dignity from his show because he wouldn't just be quiet in his support of marginalised people. What a world.

Thing in the lab that I've spent the last 3.5 years working on just worked for the first time.

Utterly amazing show just now by josielong.bsky.social at The Stand Newcastle.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

Galvatron, ink and wash sketch, please enjoy! #transformers

Feels like a good time to remind people: pensions are deferred wages. Moving someone forcibly to a worse pension is wage theft. Always unjustifiable, but particularly appalling in the context of years and years of real-terms pay cuts. Why do they NEVER have any solution other than paying us less?

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Would be great to spread this far and wide so we make as much money as possible in COLCHESTER tomorrow

This SUNDAY - COLCHESTER!! A solo show for @samaritans.bsky.social Tickets here www.redlionbooks.co.uk/product/poet... Tell your friends

A little piece about mental health #suicideawareness #mentalhealth #poem @samaritans.bsky.social GIG FOR SAMARITANS 11am COLCHESTER SUNDAY www.redlionbooks.co.uk/product/poet...

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women. Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Half-Life 3 looks fucking SICK

The arrival of at least one Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun, brings the likelihood of enhanced geomagnetic activity over the next few nights. Aurora sightings are possible in northern areas of the UK with a lower chance of glimpses as far south as the Midlands.

"We realised that all those folk we fired for unionising were actually making the game"

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

Just in case anyone is listening, please note that UK universities cannot operate successfully on the basis of continuous reduction of academic staff and academic staff pay. No amount of staff wellness sessions will change this.

Because I am not good at taking a night off and I am going to GLASGOW for Breaking the News - on Wednesday night I am doing a free gig with @typewronger.bsky.social - spread the word - last Scottish gig of 2025

I’m recruiting my first PhD student! If you’re interested is solid-state quantum optics or know someone who is then let me know! In this project we are setting up a new activity to look at strongly interacting Rydberg exciton polaritons.

@drmatthewsweet.bsky.social absolutely fascinating (and horrifying) talk yesterday at QEDcon, very glad I caught it.

random thought ive had for weeks: a version of “Virtua Cop” where Buffalo Springfield gently warns you when bad guys appear

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Parliamentary petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

I am coming to ABERDEEN www.aberdeenperformingarts.com/whats-on/rob...

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

Free show in EDINBURGH next week - lots of new stuff that I didn’t do during the fringe
