SCREAM HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2026 drops this week from the mighty @2000ad.bsky.social. Ale Aragon, Jason Wordie and I are back with more Dracula File, alongside great pals @zacthompson.bsky.social, @zoewithasword.bsky.social, @olliegerlach.bsky.social, and others. Horrible tales, well told.

'The knee-jerk brainlessness is painful to behold. Tory MSP Murdo Fraser – who else? – babbled about mummies being cancelled. How dull, how predictable.' Let's try having an intelligent discussion about mummies in museums || @neilmackay.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/poli...

Owl Burrito is my favourite band. Not many have heard of them.
27th of Owltober! A burrito-wrapped Burrowing Owl was admitted to a wildlife clinic to treat eye ulcers from suspected head trauma. The sender (anonymous) said "his favorite meal in care is mice and mealworms and he is very vocal now that he’s feeling better!" #owlsintowels 💛🦉

100% right. They can all become the obedient, conforming Trad-wives they want all women to be. PRAISE THE LAWD!!
Taking the next "I guess we got a lot of what we wanted so we have to now obey tight gender norms so as to indicate we are very biological women and not to be challenged anywhere, which we indicated was an extremely small price to pay for the blood sport we are addicted to" step, I guess.
That was my local council last week, a computer for the Chief Executive's office after someone told him about Samantha Fox's Strip Poker. Everyone else uses pencil and paper (their own supplies)

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.
Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it
Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Instead of screaming about ‘woke’ could we try having a sensible discussion about whether or not the dead should be on display in museums? Scotland has removed some mummies from display and the culture warriors have gone nuts. Whatever happened to intelligent debate? In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Now this is a good idea. James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, wrote a whole tract on witch-hunting: Daemonology. It’s chillingly rational: rather than being full of overheated fantasies like some such works, it’s coolly consistent. 1/7 www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/s...
