Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1232647: Your voice is unique. Use it with pride. Using anyone else's voice (including AI slurry, language outside your natural range, or anything you don't feel comfortable using) will only weaken your writing and make it sound inauthentic.

A distinctly British approach to AI

A distinctly British approach to A.I. NB - still my favourite panel I’ve ever written.

Nothing has given me more joy in life than things I’ve had to work my ass off to achieve. Everyone knows this, even fools. It’s baked into the human condition.

Quite sad. But yes, it’s hard to disagree.

There are a lot of opinions about what makes you a real writer, so let me tell you the truth: You become a real writer when you notice a typo and it's too late to do anything about it.

He already had his face used by someone else, he’s not about to do that all over again.

“Friday morning 9AM meeting?” “Sure” says past me, a total idiot.

Lock in, GIs! The countdown to the UK premiere of Rogue Trooper at London Film Festival this Friday is on, as @manmademoon.bsky.social brings the all-guns-blazing sci-fi @2000ad.bsky.social comic strip to life https://bit.ly/4ebVzhl

I have never been so brutally called out in my life

Should I have coffee? 🔲 Yes 🔲 No 🔲 The mug is already in your hand, it's weird you are asking me

#NationalBadgerDay in my native Ayrshire and adopted Cumbrian dialects, 'broc' is badger Held in high esteem; 'broccán' is 'wise man' and 'badger'. Near the home they protect against evil influence and represent family harmony more in my book: "Folklore of the Lake District" art: Lily Seika Jones

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Truly terrifying. Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Like ancient bog bodies, swamp timber defies time. Submerged in cold, acidic peat water, heart cypress doesn't rot - tannins "pickle" the wood, turning fallen trunks into indestructible ghost logs that outlast generations. The mire keeps its relics intact, held safe from decay. #SwampLifeSunday

The most disappointing video you’ll see today.

“Don’t be an idiot, Harry. Just ask him for directions.”

alien graffiti can be pretty hurtful 😔

Film tie-in popcorn buckets are getting ridiculous. If they'd had them for SE7EN in 1995, you'd have been eating your sweet 'n' salty out of Gwyneth Paltrow's head

Hey guys! I'm Burke, he's Hare, and before we get into today's unboxing video, we just wanna talk a little about today's sponsor, Surfshark

this thread was a really nice reminder that even though everything's terrible everything isn't terrible

Also a favoured Christmas Movie. And no, not in a ‘Die Hard is just *set* at Christmas’ way. It’s almost impossible to take Christmas out of this movie.
