Coven of tween trick or treaters overjoyed with the Cadburys-only selection. Truth is, there's no way I'm eating crappy leftover sweets.

It's #WorldLemurDay apparently. So here's the painting from ages ago that my username came from.

Time once again for all decent @nationaltrust.org.uk members to put these insufferable and deeply uncool weirdos back in their box for another year.

Happy #Halloween, undead friends.

A nebula that looks like a bat.

Spooky bat nebula! Lynds Dark Nebula 43, over 12 light-years across. Pic from nasa obviously.

Collaged skull and train tickets

The Green Party doesn't want to compete with the Labour Party, we want to replace them, in the constituency of Liverpool Wavertree and elsewhere (with thanks to ElectionMaps.uk)

Turns out Cabaret Voltaire fail my 'would I travel to Manchester to see them' test. No disrespect or shame for them. I'm just much less faff-tolerant these days.

Do handsome

The toes are furrier than you expect...

It's the cat.

She's been a bit of a princess today, but at least this is what a real mog looks like.

The Internet was made for cats. There are plenty out there. This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it, we will not use it.

Ta Mr O.

All the things.

Rum, Alan Moore's Ripper, and Ferrero Rocher. All the major food groups to celebrate another turn around the sun.

Thanks, Jonesy!

It's my birthday tomorrow, and if you need a hint as to how old I am, I got myself a new umbrella today and I'm well chuffed. #KeepingTheSpiritOfPunkAlive

Mia Goth in a swanky frock, wrapped sleeves

The Bride herself

So @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein is a sumptuous and gory masterpiece etc etc but a nice touch, amongst many, are the wrapped sleeves on Elizabeth's wedding dress, like the Bride herself. 😻

Almost began an email to the boss with 'Ass discussed...' It's not that type of workplace.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

He seems so reasonable, our Guillermo...
AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. Somebody wrote me an email, said, "What is your stance on AI?" And my answer was very short. I said, "I'd rather die."

Soft Cell's musical force Dave Ball dies, aged 66 The musician, best known for Tainted Love and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, died in his sleep at home.

God. This guy. The heartbreaking organs on the 12" of Say Hello, Wave Goodbye on their own would be enough, never mind everything else. Sex Dwarf, anybody?

Swings and Roundabouts

Six o'clock it's nearly dark,
Kicking leaves up in the park.

The Bolshoi's 'Swings and Roundabouts' written specifically for the week before the clocks go back.

I have a very stiff neck and shoulder. It's giving me a real appreciation of the Batman's problems with situational awareness.

Siouxsie and a cat.

Siouxsie, looking magnificent, and a cat, also magnificent.

In Mexico, blackouts caused by data centers destroyed people's refrigerators and oxygen equipment in hospitals, and water shortages meant toilets couldn't flush in schools.

AI is another version of colonial extraction.

Very nice print of Alien on the iplayer right now. Super clean.
