Dogs love me cause I'm crazy sniffable
Is there an online forum or support group I can join for people driven to madness by advertising creative choices? I shouldn't care about that fada on "So" but I do.
The process of syncing my brain with the Wordle bot is going well. Soon I can just get it to do the puzzle for me.
The casting of young Henry and young Tommy in Goodfellas is miraculous. I could swear I'm looking at Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci as kids.
Embarrassingly there is a Taschen book "On NFTs", still openly on sale in the gift shop of at least one respected art museum (in this case the Louisiana in Denmark).
Kate Beaton is the best and is On Here @katebeaton.bsky.social Mystery Solving Teens will always be my favourite but her graphic novel Ducks is devastatingly good.
I sometimes wonder why the high gravity time dilation future war gimmick in Halo Jones has never been done on film/TV. Even if the science doesn't strictly work, it's such a cool concept. @2000ad.bsky.social
It's under there somewhere! I think the submissions show a reasonable consensus plus a few mad Greater Kimmage zealots.
Stopped in for a quick coffee, forgot to read the small print, now I'm going to be late for my next meeting.
World's largest corporate investor has to transmit his thoughts via underground outlets such as the BBC and Fortune 500 CEOs because the mainstream just won't touch them. Incredible levels of LinkedIn posting.
Unless I dozed off there is literally no mention of arson in The Crucible so I'm not sure how it becomes a "recurring theme".
They say it's hard to make new friends as you get older so thanks for this Instagram.
Encountering a new form of weird content which purports to teach you the "right" way to stay in luxury hotels, based on recondite insider information which is clearly both made up and irrelevant.
I like that Google Maps has decided to go with "Imbolc (Observed)" as the name of Ireland's new February public holiday.
I'm so hilariously out of step with today's coffee culture. I don't think I'd risk a coffee in any one of these places. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
This photo is from mid-February. Imagine thinking that spring is still a month away.
That's it! Not too many books as usual. I'm currently working on The Real Charlotte by Sommerville and Ross. Lots of housecat action for some reason in 19th century Limerick.
(The book also came with this signed print from the man himself thanks to @goshcomics.bsky.social)
8. Maybe saving the best for last, this collection of mind-altering early Sláine strips from @2000ad.bsky.social Some of the Mick McMahon strips are quite possibly the best comic pages ever rendered.
7. In comics, I loved this chunk of Lovecraftian pulp from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.
6. This was apparently a big hit: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I thought it was fine. Again should have been right up my street but reminded me of Ready Player One with the density of nerd culture nostalgia service.
5. I read some other non-fiction including Mapmatics by Paulina Rowinska. This has some excellent chapters on the maths behind maps but some of the later chapters stretch the concept pretty thin.
