Visited Thomas’ boathouse years back. I recall the framed coroner’s report said he died from “a great insult to the brain.”

DYLAN THOMAS — born 112yrs ago today — converted the garage of his house in Carmarthenshire into his writing shed, and it’s been kept the way it was when he worked in there.

Koenig’s line reading of “Botany… Bay… Botany… Bay! Oh no!” plays in my head more often than is healthy. RIP

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

This remarkable Kirby panel (w. Ditko inks) in The Incredible Hulk 2 conveys action, weight, pressure, tension & precarious balance. We can feel what's happening and sense what's about to happen. Probably pencilled in the time it took me to write this post. #comics #jackkirby #marvel #cartoonists

While I'm shouting at clouds, UK gov telling everyone to stockpile for climate-change-driven emergencies while fast-forwarding fossil fuel drilling is... I had thought it was the government's responsibility to fix problems, not cause problems and then tell us to deal with the fallout at our expense.

Not keen on the whole 'living in a 2000AD world' thing.

Excited about this episode. I'll post a bit more on this soon, but it's an experiment in comics formalism wrapped in a thriller bottle episode.

I think it always bears repeating that this psychedelic existential sci-fi war epic ran when 2000AD was still pretty unambiguously sold as a "kids comic". I certainly grew up taking it for granted that this was just what comics were like.

If you're into your UFO lore, I love for Close Encounters that Spielberg wanted a Frenchman to play Jaques Vallee, who was apparently an advisor on the movie. So he cast one of the great Directors in Truffaut.

Remembering the Oscar winning Filmmaker, Actor & Critic — FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT — who left us 42yrs ago today, aged just 52.

As the UK government approves the Jackdaw gasfield, this UN report shows current policies take us to 2.8°C by 2100.

Joeri Rogelj@joerirogelj.bsky.social

A smaller gap but a worse future. Current policies, result in warming being kept below 2.8°C by 2100. The most optimistic case, where all NDCs and net-zero targets are achieved keeps warming to 2.1°C. This is a worsening from last year's report, mainly because of the policy roll-backs in the US.
