You've got to be kidding me! I've literally just told someone about this and then I read it's been cancelled.
Grr argh!

Will Greenwood was on Radio 4’s Today programme this morning, with a philosophical reflection on England’s performance. The response: “We should sign you up for Thought for the Day”. And yet - that wouldn’t happen, would it, Radio 4 - because you reserve that spot exclusively for religious voices.

Yeah, it's to give them room to constantly shift the goal posts.

It's a very weasely statement with phrases like "not enough" and "good quality" and "continues to consider" used to shield NHS England and give the impression that they haven't already made up their bigoted little minds.

The Bill is, famously, the standard by which we measure societal health. That's why it's impossible to know how good it was before 1984.

The Equality Act isn't a niche interest or a piece of trendy legislation. It is a cornerstone of a functional, fair, and stable society. Its erosion should matter to everyone.

That is a great one. Once you get past his first season, Sylvester McCoy got some superb stories. There's a special edition version of The Curse of Fenric that I especially enjoy.

Few scientists have so revolutionised our understanding of life as Charles Darwin. Born #OnThisDay in 1809, his work laid the foundations of evolutionary biology and transformed how we see the natural world, understand our origins, and think about humanity’s place within it. Happy #DarwinDay!

I bought & read the series on release & remember enjoying it while recognising that it doesn't hit the heights of Spider-Man 2099.
I posted about X-Men 2099 last year to say that, unusually for an X book, it doesn't seem to get referenced or revisited. Marvel will pull from almost any mutant title.

Panel from Spectacular Spider-Man (#197 I think?), art by Sal Buscema.

Just hearing we've lost Sal Buscema, an absolute giant of comics and one of the true greats. His long run on Spectacular Spider-Man is as good as mainstream comics get. RIP to a genuine master.
