HOLY MOLY I'm in the Observer!!!!!!!!!!

Today’s weather advice

Well, I thought Crystal Lake was brilliant. Who would have thought that dear child would grow up to go to space and beat a sleeping-bagged holographic woman against a tree? Those bullies have a lot to answer for. If they wasn't all dead n that.

Something a bit mean about suddenly feeling like absolute shit at 5pm on a Friday. Shouldn't be allowed.

Going to treat myself to a little fun with the wingnuts claiming that the new Mass Effect would be woke and there were only two genders in the original games. Guarantee absolutely every single one of them fucked Liara.

Ever sit and feel like the life you actually want is somewhere else, doing something else, and all you're doing is haemorrhaging time? It's been that kind of year. The foundations of my world are based on a plan I made in another life, and that life is all gone. Now, I'm questioning EVERYTHING.

Don't be fooled. This is the face of a demon. A demon who has worked out that if you look away while you're scratching his back and he rolls over you're going to at least briefly find yourself scratching his dick. This would explain why he always looks like he's smiling. (His name is Ozymandias)

Not sure if the content we need or just the content we deserve.

Wonder how long it'll be until EA starts pumping out vibe coded updates of their already quite spectacularly shit sports games, interspersed with "big" releases that are also just vibe coded monstrosities made from the carcasses of the IP they now own.

The #astroneer blog is doing some great short SF right now. The latest story went live earlier and it's great. blog.astroneer.space/p/the-train-...

'Oh they've been dead for years this makes it official.' Tell that to the people who worked there you ghoulish fucks.

Bioware coming to an end feels like yet another cruel step on the path to the enshittification of everything, with uber rich ghouls putting 400 of the industry's actually talented people out on their arses. The journey through the Mass Effect universe was a huge favourite. Fuck you EA. Fuck you.

When the Night Comes Knocking by Katherine Daniel Review: The Mountain Wants Your Heart https://gnofhorror.com/when-the-night-comes-knocking-review/

Sat alone all Billy no-mates again this evening and wondering if @netflix.com have ever considered putting as much effort into promoting their shows as they do into trying to get me to watch the ones they've already cancelled.

If Zeus was around now you know that fucker would be disguising himself as cake.

Having to grab bits of writing time is a pain, but I find making the last line a snapshot of what I was thinking makes it a lot easier to pick things back up later. "Well I'd better explain my cunning plan and definitely not leave out the bit about grenade bananas" is easier than half a sentence I -

Finally watching Slither for the first time and not sure why this hasn't been recommended to me before... This is such a fun creature feature.

This is the first in a new series I like to call "random stuff I found out while I was writing." Stuff 1 - dogs shouldn't drink cat milk. The balance of fat and protein is way too much for their systems and the results can be NASTY. Diarrhoea. Vomiting. Gas. Pain. Lethargy. Even pancreatitis.

In Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), Ezra Miller’s character is able to break a plane of glass despite barely touching it. This is because Windows stopped supporting Flash the previous year.

This is a new one - I'm struggling to listen to an ebook because I find the author's voice too soothing. I'm enjoying the story itself a great deal but I keep zoning out and having to rewind great chunks of it because her voice makes my brain go really, really quiet. #audiobooks #reading #scifi

This was a fun one to do so I'd encourage others to have a go - and on that subject I love doing things like this, so if anybody is after some daft captions, thoughtful paragraphs, a whole spiel about something in genre fic or a vaguely amusing but non-toxic rant (remember them?) hit me on up.

One for the #writers and the writers of #horror in particular.

Trying to get a person wrongfully deported should be a crime in and of itself.

The Springfield nuclear power plant is to shut down this week due to major oversights by Mr Smithers. Blaming his habit of taking long walks on his employer's habit of playing the violin while he was trying to work, he stands accused of roaming while Burns fiddled.

Well, Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey was great. Criticism - There was absolutely no point in that movie where Winnie was about to be hurt and said "oh, bother" and likewise no "oh d-d-d-dear" from Piglet. Which is probably a legal thing but still.

Finally getting to watch Nina Conti's "Sunshine" and it's wonderful. It's a road trip movie about a man out for a measure of revenge on his dead dad and a monkey hiding a vulnerable woman inside. Funny, sweet, and weird as fuck. For reference - the holes song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0Xu...

So, I did the difficult thing. One of the most difficult things I have ever had to do and the first time I've ever felt task paralysis like an active physical force pushing me back. But, it's done. Fuck you, thingy. Fuck. You.

Always worth a reminder of the bit the fanboys miss - the tech wazzocks don't give a shit about the climate change or other people's lives being made crapper in their quest for more money because they can just nip off somewhere nice, secluded, safe etc, so it doesn't impact them personally.

Having a full-blown crisis of confidence today and given I have something to do that's proving to be a major trauma trigger that's not exactly ideal... Oh, bother.

These Chrome pop-ups need a third option. (Try it now!)(Remind me later!)(Never speak to me again you nosy electric bitch)

Make a war film rubbish. Anemone At The Gates Saying Private Ryan Bridge Over The River Tamar Ice Cold In Ipswich Memphis Bin Himmler's List Apocalypse? Nah. The Shirt Locker Captain Corelli's Mono-Blue MTG Deck The Basically Ok But Lacked A Certain Something Escape Letters From Ian Beale

In my quest to be a more positive online presence I submit the nicest thing to happen to me this last week - holding hands with my cat, Misty. She is a very strange cat. Not a fancy breed, just a plain old tabby, but BIG. And weird. Muscular. Claws like thorns. Loves belly rubs. Does... This.

Writing one of my favourite kinds of characters, based on one of my favourite kinds of people. Formidable older women. Have met many over the years and it's always fun to bring one into my work.

That awkward moment when you've upset the Russian malware on your computer...

If you're a creative with a day job, do you ever feel like you're adrift? Just going through the motions like a cog, doing what you're needed to do, but never actually getting to be you? Whoever the hell you actually are? #amwriting #writersofbluesky #writerthoughts

Wes Streeting suffers daily from an egregious under-diagnosis of being an absolute dickhead.

Jason Mantzoukas was INCREDIBLE on Taskmaster. I'd like them to get Jason Sudeikis on some time. Possibly Momoa. Then Segel. Biggs. Bateman. The UK can supply Statham, Isaacs, and Flemyng. @taskmaster.tv - Give me your huddled Jasons.

Business idea. Live-streamed Battle Royale, weapons allowed, but it is filmed in Lidl and you can only use what you find in the middle aisle.
