Discworld QOTD, from Monstrous Regiment
“It’s hard to be an ornithologist and walk through a wood when all around you the world is shouting: ‘Bugger off, this is my bush! Aargh, the nest thief! Have sex with me, I can make my chest big and red!’”

“Every real copper knew you didn’t go around looking for Clues so that you could find out Who Done It. No, you started out with a pretty good idea of Who Done It. That way, you knew what Clues to look for.”

Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic
“Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn't take you seriously until you'd actually killed them, by which time it didn't really matter anyway.”

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I haven’t listened to this because I hate hearing my voice - which will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me well - but here I am rambling incoherently about The Essence and the Europe books and a whole bunch of other stuff I know nothing about. Many thanks to Jon, who was the perfect host.
New Video! I chat to @hutchinsondave.bsky.social author of the Fractured Europe series, and most recently of The Essence which I read and very much enjoyed last month. Check it out 👀! 📚🪐🩵 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #booktube

Folks, I'm getting a cat on Tuesday and I've never lived with a cat so I'm a bit nervous. Tell me the ways in which your cats have made your lives better?

While I appreciate the drive that athletes have to perform despite injuries and ill health, I always feel a bit strange about how we glorify continuing on when your body needs healing. I wonder how many permanent disabilities are the result of our insistence that pain is a weakness not a warning.

Very late nineties, I did occasional spot illos for a big Fleet Street newspaper, and they would take the actual artwork by fax. As in: I’d go to the newsagent, pay 50p, and fax it over. Not roughs. The art. That was it. It would be reprinted in one of the biggest selling papers. From a FAX.
I was thinking about when I left art college and first started doing illustrations for a magazine. They would send me the brief by fax, but I didn’t have a fax, so they’d send it to the post office fax machine, and I’d walk over there. I’d then walk back to fax them my roughs. FAXING. CAN U IMAGINE

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

"How Sophie recognised the Witch would be hard to say. Her face was different. Her hair, instead of being orderly chestnut curls, was a rippling mass of red, hanging almost to her waist, and she was dressed in floating flutters of auburn and pale yellow. Very cool and lovely she looked."
