Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!

You can see the same thing happening with Substack. It does newsletters really well but if you go to their website or app now it is just a hot mess - you have no idea what it is for.

Thanks to @harkaway.bsky.social for pointing this one out. As he points out this is obsession with continual growth and the desire to be everything is pretty mad. The boss sounds like a complete tool.

Longplayer is a musical installation that will play for a millennia. Jem Finer speaks about how the differences between this challenge to our sense of human time is, perhaps unexpectedly, closely related to his work in The Pogues

FILM PITCH: NOW DO THE SAME WITH POLYPHONIC SPREE, YOU COWARD!

So, to recap: a major publisher is releasing a nature writing book with (inaccurate) AI-created ‘woodcut’ artwork - that’s where we’re at?

And even sadder is that it’s a big author - so they have the budget, but are still choosing not to give it to an illustrator.

It’s just all so disappointing.
