Any comic artist folks who would be interested in jumping on a pitch with A Publisher? Sequential experience an absolute must, and previously published is preferred. If you enjoy drawing dinosaurs, historical fashions, and stylish action, it'll be up your alley. Happy to share details!

Preparing to say goodbye to the mighty BBC Radio 4 Long Wave broadcast. The first service began 101 years ago. The transmitters at Droitwich, Westerglen and Burghead will be switched off at 0100 BST on Saturday. The 200 metre long AM signal at 198 Khz goes right through you and sounds fabulous!

I have somehow decided to travel 5 hours by train on one of the hottest days of the year to go on a pub crawl in Bath during the World Cup. Might have made a slight mistake.

People, in every field, are watching their careers get burned into ash in favor of a machine that is *allowed* to make vastly bigger mistakes than they would ever be allowed to. The machine can't even get the company's name right, but *you* are hounded over the color of a single pixel, etc.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Starmer’s wooing of the racist right wasn’t just morally repugnant, it was self-defeating. In the May local elections, far more Labour voters switched to the Greens (22%) than Reform UK (6%). yougov.com/en-gb/articl...
