Why’s that, Francis? Did something happen?

Ran to the library.

Sat in the pub reading about Orwell and unable to drown out the conversation of the nearby table of Reform voters.

we all make moral compromises to survive under capitalism, except you, bluesky poster, the only pure creature in the land, who, by virtue of said purity, has the ethical clarity to decide who should walk away from their salary and benefits

Since SDCC is just around the corner and announcements are rolling out, make sure you put it on your Thursday evening schedule to come see me wrangle cats by talking Heavy Metal Magazine with Simon Bisley and Kevin Eastman courtesy of @2000ad.bsky.social!

Shelley Duvall, star of The Shining and Annie Hall, dies aged 75www.theguardian.com The versatile actor, who was Robert Altman’s muse and also appeared in McCabe & Mrs Miller, Nashville, Popeye and 3 Women, has died

We are very lucky.

Very happy to see this, though as a young newspaper theatre reviewer I saw two of the worst plays in my life at the Coliseum: a stage production of The Fly (1950s version) and an adaptation of Misery, starring Les Dennis, Ann Bryson, and a rubber prosthetic foot www.theguardian.com/uk-news/arti...

Oldham Coliseum theatre saved from closurewww.theguardian.com Oldham council pledges £10m to refurbish theatre after campaign led by actor Julie Hesmondhalgh

Since I refuse to get varifocals, I now have to wear TWO pairs of glasses – reading and distance – and I'm pretty sure I just look like this.

18 days until SDCC and I'm not freaking out, which should – frankly – be a sign that I should be freaking out.

Yeah, sucks when people lose their jobs because of the decisions of Tories, doesn't it. Fear not...

Visited all the important sites in London...

Hey presto: a replica of The Royal & Most Pleasant Game of Y Goose, printed on linen and with counters coloured with authentic 17th Century paints, ready for use on a future living history encampment with @englishcivilwar.bsky.social

An English game board from 1670, “The Royall & Most Pleasant Game of Y Goose” from the collection of Stephen Sondheim. The game actually originated in 15th century Italy (first mention was in a 1480 book of sermons) and it was WILDLY popular in Europe

Or, very specifically, someone called Mike.

Every English Millennial woman wasted a good deal of her 20s on a boring relationship with someone called Chris, Matt or Tom.

Theologically, this church is all over the place...

It's weird to now watch The Black Hole (1979), which on the face of it should stand alongside Silent Running and Star Wars, yet feels like it has more in common with Blackbeard's Ghost and Flash Gordon.

If you never read any other FOREVER WARS edition, read this interview with a US Army major who worked in military intelligence on the Mideast before resigning over Gaza. www.forever-wars.com/harrison-man...

Old man rant: when did we collectively decide that the standard format of press releases should change?

'Evil' continuing to deliver some bonkers left-turns combined with gut punches, all while having an almost sedate pace. How on earth did this show get made??
