My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

There was maybe a bit too much score but still a fun evening. A delight to have Karloff's daughter, Sara, there for a short on-stage chat before the film 😍 #Frankenstein

Time to trot through five overlooked Karloff horror performances! #halloweencountdown

Always a lovely time listening to this duo.

"a distinctly British approach to artificial intelligence"

Psyche Delhi-san, the mascot for the shopping district in hip and alternative Koenji, Tokyo, is a mysterious psychedelic creature with glowing eyes and a protruding tongue.

I made a little show as an extra for BBC Radio 4 Extra (pretty much in my own time): it’s being repeated to mark 20 years since the death of Nigel Kneale. This sort of bonus (dare I say it Reithian?) content will not be possible once the station goes in March. Enjoy: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Has Your Donkey Become A Great Terror Upon Your Household?

"Not a modern witches' council - but members of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Castle Rising, Norfolk, England sometime in the 1920s."

GREAT NEWS FOR ALL READERS INSIDE! We have a new podcast out today, in which @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social visit Rebellion Publishing, and explore the history of comic-strip TV tie-ins (including Look-in). With some additional @2000ad.bsky.social content, of course.

Lovely stuff, Vault of Horror needs a remake with the Snake Boys.

Makes watching these movies worthwhile (listened to this while jumping out a building backwards catching guns in mid-air...in slo-mo).

Backed this, Aly does some remarkably atmospheric storytelling.

Well, IT'S READYish. Kickstarter pre-launch is active! Please sign up there if you fancy it. I can then gauge interest which gives me ideas for funding targets, add-ons etc. It should go live in October for an appropriately spooky seasonal Kickstarter! Thank you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aly...

The BBC's ability for self immolation is extraordinary. How can a new Midlands BBC centre be without a drama and broadcasting studio,the plans for which have now been scrapped? Undermining the audio medium (which they've been nibbling away for years). 1/2 www.change.org/p/keep-the-a...

I have said it before, and I will say it again: the UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. All you have to do is keep your eyes open and look carefully for them... tomcox.substack.com/p/20-of-the-...
