Black text in a white field reading: The whole of our science is based upon empirical, repeatable experiments. Whereas thought is not in that category, you can't take thought into a laboratory. The essential fact of our existence, perhaps the only fact of our existence - our own thought and perception is ruled off-side by the science it has invented. Science looks at the universe, doesn't see itself there, doesn't see mind there, so you have a world in which mind has no place. We are still no nearer to coming to terms with the actual dynamics of what consciousness is. In questing after artificial intelligence, we seem only to have learnt that normal intelligence is so far beyond our comprehension.

If I might ask one more thing to be Aware of (for March only, don’t tax yourselves),people with LC are not hypochondriacs, they are not anti-social, they did not want an excuse to isolate forever, they are not doomers, and they are not faking.

They are sick, so being an asshole to them is beastly.

*Something has shifted. You see, it's no longer about the skyrockety ketamine. Instead, it's about fortifying the crab-basket

In Joseph Southall's painting in watercolour of the Fowey estuary in Cornwall (1924) is cropped like a photograph, the expanse of water is painted with the precision he gave over to his pictures made in tempera.

A black-and-white political cartoon by Ron Cobb features a small child in a bed nestled among the rounded tops of massive nuclear missiles marked with American and Soviet flags.

In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a disheveled man stands in a vast wasteland of debris, looking bewildered as he holds a broken portable television set and an unplugged power cord.

In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a man in a suit stands atop rubble shaking his fist at a distant mushroom cloud, exclaiming that bombing only strengthens their will to resist while a second man lies defeated in the debris below.

Before becoming the fantastic designer we know, Ron Cobb (Alien, Total Recall, The Last Starfighter, Aliens, Back to the Future, The Abyss, Rocketeer, Space Truckers, Firefly...) was a cartoonist in the late 1960s.

With the same talent.

Lights on our foreheads which flash red when we speak.

That was Justin and the whole exercise was tongue in cheek, complete with hilariously terrible questions which the panel made scathingly funny or bemused remarks about. Dick said that maybe their jobs were safe for another week.

Made it! No bus short cut because of road closure and was knackered walking home from the station but there you are. Now, how are we for time? Er…

Hearing “you can beat this!” said to people with major illness always irks me

Really? We handing out homework? Meet at the ribbon walk? Extra kale?

It’s not a fight, it’s a person falling victim to an aggressor, and even our platitudes imply that for lack of fighting they are partly to blame

Bought for 30p in my local newsagent in spring 1977 back when they had a small bookcase of children’s books in the side window. My intro to Mac Hulke’s nuanced perspectives and delicately imaginative humanitarianism, and talking lizard people.

The King is mad

it is mad that Iran has had supreme leaders named both Khomeini and Khameini. it's be like having both a Bevan and a Bevin, or a George Brown and a Gordon Brown, or two curly haired lead actors named Baker

The Brit Awards this year is sponsored by Norman Collier

Okay I feel like this is going to come up a lot in the next 24 hours so let's just clear this up:

Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader allegedly killed today, is/was *not* the same person as Ayatollah Khomeini, the supreme leader who came to power in the 1979 revolution.

It’s just insane that almost the entire world put so much effort, time, and careful diplomatic work into brokering the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, and one asshole president just…tossed it in the trash to do this instead. That should not be possible.
