Makes me think of how Pixar go back to Toy Story every few years, but rather than doing a straight sequel use it as a way to poke at how childhood/toys/etc have shifted in the intervening period.
Maybe we need a petition!

@jamiesmart.bsky.social and @neillcameron.bsky.social - can we have BvM and MRB 'Next Generation' spin-off books aimed solely at sad parents suffering from withdrawal, please? x

Anyone not already in management worked this out decades before AI was on the scene.
Time to get disappointed again when the chancellor doesn't drop the suitcase to the floor, kick it, and suit up as Iron Man.

I listened to Off Panel's chat with Kieron Gillen, which inevitably made me question everything I've been doing for the last 4 years.
This is the inherent danger of listening to a KG interview.

In 2025 it seems to be OK to mount an insurrection, but it's not OK to accuse someone of mounting an insurrection.
In 2025 it also seems to be OK to behave in a racist way, but it's not OK to accuse someone of behaving in a racist way.
This seems the wrong way around to me.
Joe Marler to play Jackie in Cyberpunk 2077 movie.
I mean, he's already played Zoltan Chivay in Witcher 3, so has history with CD Projekt Red.
Dispatch feels like something altogether new: a game and a TV show rolled into one, but not really either of those things, either.

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue.
You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist
People screenshotting X and then responding to the screenshot on Bluesky is one of the reasons I don't really enjoy Bluesky.

I've been writing a weekly serial for the past four years and it's reaching its conclusion in the next couple of months. Seemed like a good moment to re-introduce it!
Check it out if you're into crime fiction, science fiction and fantasy mash-ups.

Was a pleasure to meet you! Looking forward to reading Horizon.
In which I moan about relying on summaries rather than going to the text itself.

Conspiracy fiction in the 90s was still fun, because there was an implicit understanding that only a minority of weirdoes actually believed that stuff, and that the majority of the population had a firm hold on what was real...

Today I found a keyhole in a wall.
Not in a door.
In a brick wall. Not obviously connected to anything.
This is, of course, very exciting.
Come work with me! I mean, if you want to.
