Oh, this one's fun (IISSM).

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.

This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.

Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.

And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

Brilliant journalism as always from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @thenerve.news

This needs amplifying. Perhaps @ZackPolanski.bsky.social could give it volume on Kuenssberg tomorrow, as he did during #bbcqt

Who else is on? Bring it up. Force it into the discussion if necessary!

Ahead of a critical Welsh by-election for Reform next week, part two of @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation for the Nerve into disgraced former Ukip MEP and Reform UK politician Nathan Gill

If all you ask from life is a rollercoaster of a book with good twist, a funny bit with a goat, and a memorable title, allow me to present "A Torrid Lamentation on the Dearth of Validity in a Mechanised Ethos, Volume 2".

No, sorry: "Baby's Breath"

My bad.

Duty.

Detour.

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Things only a comedian/producer would post: I AM LOOKING FOR A TRUMPETER IN BRISTOL AVAILABLE THIS WEEK.

Long shot, but let me know. I will not block joke answers as some people do but I also won't laugh at them. I *might* roll my eyes indulgently.

YouTube video by Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell SOUTH KOREA IS OVER

This is a fascinating and scary little video. And what South Korea is experiencing is only slightly ahead of where the UK and many advanced economies are.

Without immigration, we are FUCKED. I mean TOTALLY FUCKED. Yet all parties compete to stop migration. It's madness.

I think that is this?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yep to the other reply (change extension to ZIP), but you have to use the Unarchiver app…

This led me down a delightful rabbit-hole, where I met Jann's creepy cloth old lady (simultaneously noted and ignored by Wikipedia), a cloth cowboy (steadfastly denied by Google's AI, but there in the cropped region on the right of the used photograph), and, inevitably, Adolf Hitler.

Elliot Jay Stocks | 100 pages to fix Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer & author, usually doing something with typography, or making music as Other Form

Just sent out the latest issue of my newsletter, coming to you this time from New York.

Lots and lots of type and typography links — including to the Type Design Class courses that close enrolment... today!

A selection of illustrations and commissions including an album cover design of a vintage radio, a book cover design with an illustration of George Harrison, architecture illustrations, a Listening Party turntable design, a music pattern design and a photo of me wearing glasses.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.

It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is.

The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.

Ah! The original James Bond! And before you all ‘at’ me… I’m really just referring to the 007 thing… and stretching…

An illustrated map, with key, of Innsmouth - the Massachusetts harbour town that features in my Lovecraftian horror story.

A 3D render (work in progress) of Innsmouth - the Massachusetts harbour town that features in my Lovecraftian horror story.

Not sure if I ever posted this. WIP of a map for my Innsmouth project. And a little 3D visualisation of it in Blender.

The story so far here…

#Innsmouth @innsmouth-lights.bsky.social

@bsky.app has not yet verified @alistapart.com, we suppose because they’ve got bigger fish to fry first. We guess that at least some members of the Bluesky team learned their craft from us and trust that they’ll get around to verifying us sooner or later. Reshare if you care.

You want to be asking @bcdreyer.social – it’s more than likely something that’s already been through scrutiny.

Isn’t this the plot of Tomorrowland? Might need to rewatch to confirm because frankly, I could be wrong.

My twelve colour screenprint called Harbour Walls, a semi abstract print which features lots of harbour walls, a buoy, fishermen, gull, nets, fish, houses, roofs, boats, seaweed and more.

A year ago now I printed my Harbour Walls print, a twelve layer screenprint.

I hope to do more semi abstract pieces like this.

I've sold a couple I think.
